Eventually after many days of searching managed to get it insured fully comp,. 3000 mile limit, no NCB ( as previous entitlement had expired as over 2 years ago) with only £100 excess for £210 by a company that is part of the Zurich Insurance Group. All the Battistini modifications accepted, documented and pictures of paintwork supplied so no misunderstandings. It is noted on the policy as a custom bike.

Must admit I was very surprised and pleased, so the legwork proved invaluable. I would pay far more than that for a similar value much newer Harley, so bike age does have its benefits. Not that I'm complaining but it demonstrates some of the insurance criteria for assessing risk is a bit of bunkum, as I'll only ride 'the bike' be it a newer Harley or this one, in the same manner and for the exact same journeys.
