Default Trouble getting insurance.

I am having trouble getting insurance on a special construction/homemade bike. Any suggestions on company's ? It has an assigned vin number from the state and a clean title.
Thanks,
SR

The reaso is that it doesn't show in their computer and they can't value it. I bet you can get liability only. Or get it appraised and then ask for stated value insurance.

Try Markel for MC insurance. You can also try American Collectors Insurance they provide "Agreed Value" policies for collectible vehicles.
