Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
Gee there Paw Paw, your doing pretty well. My liability is for $500K and I live in NY state so thats probably why I'm higher?
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
I think location counts for a lot. I have about the same coverage plus uninsured motorist on my 06 Toyota Sienna and I pay $415 for a year.
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
Pretty sad when $108 out of my premium goes for uninsured motorist coverage. I couldn't even imagine taking a vehicle out on the road without insurance. I guess its people who have nothing to lose that do that and we all have to pay through the nose for those idiots. I'm 65 and never had a moving violation (ex cop here), never an accident or anything more than a windshield replacement. I wonder what they would sock me if I had points on my license?
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
I'm about the same as you. Almost 64, retired cop, [Nassau County] no violations, no at fault accidents.
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
I just got my Triglide less than a month ago, and it increased my bike insurance $41 to $463/yr. with Foremost insurance. I'm in KC not NY, but I also had a ticket a couple years ago too.
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
I also have Foremost, premiums about same as yours Kansas Trike, If your purchases a new trike these policy come with a 2 year replacement. Any thing happens to your trike (totaled or stolen) They will replace it with a brand new trike. Also includes $3,000.00 for accessarys, even covers my pull behind trailer up to $3,000.
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
I have progressive and I appreciated then coming to see the Trike, varifing what they were covering. I'm at about $550 a year and that's because I went high on the value of accessories (Trike Kit Value) than I should have. There initial quote was 385. It's a 2007 Street Glide/CSC Daytona.
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
Thanks guys. I guess there is no set formula for the insurance companies to go by except for maybe the TriGlides or other "factory built" units. Any time we get into triking a 2 wheeler we enter into "custom built vehicle" territory. My agent said that I should keep good records of all the options and custom parts on my trike in case of a claim. No biggie as I have always kept good records on any of my bikes......
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
After going with Progressive, Foremost, and whatever else for my other Harleys, I finally went with Geico for $484 on my 2010 TG---which is cheap for my area. The previous two companies would jack up the rate over a hundred bucks after one year. I guess I'll see what Geico does after a year. No claims ever made on my part with any policy. Guess it's just a high-rate area here.
Re: Insurance on HD Trike?
There is a lot factored in to the insurance premiums depending upon the part of the country one lives in. I think the length of the riding season in a particular region has a big influence on the cost. I know for certain that the number of deer we have in West Virginia increases the cost. Progressive gave me a quote of over $800.00 a year. I called GEICO after seeing an ad on TV and got the identical coverage for $328.00 a year. I changed my auto to GEICO also and got the bike insurance down to $308.00 but only saved a couple bucks on the car. I told the rep. that my trike was a conversion and he said, "no problem"!! Progressive didn't seem to be able to wrap their mind around the conversion as being one unit and wanted to price everything out individually, ie; motorcycle, trike kit, easysteer etc. GEICO just asked, "what is your total investment in the trike"?
