If its causing you a head ache buy a standard end can on eBay they are 10 to the dozen and can pick em up cheap. I think most bikers ride with race cans on but choose not to tell the insurance.

it come with originals but i would like to insue it with termis if possible, as i guess if u put it on and have an accident the insurance wont pay out

thats exactly it. either declare it and pay, or dont and run the risk.

But this is the OP's problem: if he declares the cans it's not that they'll charge extra, it's that they won't cover at all because the cans are marked as not road legal.

Have a word with Nick at Ducati Insurance he was very helpful with me and a grand chap to boot

hi have insured with ducati insurance, i had 2 double check a few times to make sure i had it correct. I declared to them that it had termi exhaust that was stamped for race use only. they will insure the bike, but in the event of an accident they would replace them with standard exhaust but the bike is fully insured with them on comprehensively, although the police is another matter if they stop you !
