When you add aftermarket parts or accessories, those upgrades may not be included under your base policy. That means if your custom seat,\u00a0saddlebags\u00a0or audio system are stolen or damaged in an accident, your\u00a0insurer\u00a0may only pay out the stock value of what came with\u00a0the bike\u00a0originally.<\/p>\n<p>Some policies\u00a0may\u00a0offer accessory coverage that can\u00a0cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Custom paint or graphics<\/li>\n<li>Aftermarket exhaust systems<\/li>\n<li>Upgraded lighting or electronics<\/li>\n<li>Added chrome or performance parts<\/li>\n<li>Saddlebags and luggage systems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How Customizations Can Affect Premiums<\/h2>\n<p>A bike with a higher replacement value due to expensive upgrades may cost more to\u00a0insure. Performance modifications, like engine work that increases horsepower, can also affect your rate.\u00a0On the other hand, safety-focused additions such as anti-theft devices may work in your favor\u00a0and help reduce your rate.<\/p>\n<h2>Why\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0Important to Review Your Policy<\/h2>\n<p>Motorcycle owners\u00a0in\u00a0California\u00a0should review their\u00a0motorcycle\u00a0insurance policies whenever they make changes to their bikes.\u00a0Failing to update\u00a0your coverage could leave you underinsured if you need to make a claim.
