The modifications below are intended to allow the user to customise/personalise their motorcycle without increasing the power to weight ratio. Some modifications will have a minor effect on power and others a minor effect on weight. However, these are not considered to be significant.
Allowed modifications
Slip on muffler/exhaust
Fairings/plastics
Wheels and tyres
Lights
Any other minor modification that would not affect power to weight ratio. e.g. handlebars or seats.
Note: Low Volume Vehicle (LVV) certification may be required for some modifications.
Note 2: It is likely a condition of your insurance policy to advise your insurer of any modifications that have been made to your motorcycle.
So you're probably all right, as F5 Dave says, contact your insurers, make certain that they know and it's stated on the policy, and you should be fine.
Out of curiosity - when did that change? Last I looked at LAMS rules it was "No changes allowed whatsoever"
The above actually looks *Get ready for the biggest shock of 2021*
Sensible.
