insurance advice needed - lowering 55mm

[samg1988]

I'm 18 and I'll be buying an RT soon, which will be lowered 55mm.

So far, Bell, Admiral and Elephant have all turned round and said no because of that. Although they are fine with it if i select the <5cm lowering option.

They all suggested i try some company based in essex they can forward me onto but i didnt get round to that.

• Should i just select the <5cm option? its a matter of only 5mm. or will I get assraped?
• Should i phone up that random place in essex - anyone know about them?
• Does anyone have any other companies i can try? (im going to try HIC tomorrow when they are open)

go to the insurance list and ring them all! lol otherwise somewhere like adrian flux? have you called bell, or was it just from the website?

okay so i just called the place they were on about. they suggested alan and alan who said no again...
then high performance who sent me to some guy who was a bit dodgey sounding. saying the quotes i was having from elephant (with <5cm option) were way too good to be true for an 18 year old.

Ill try HIC and adrian flux tomorrow. otherwise i think ill just use elephant. Its a stupid thing for the matter of 5mm.
