Motorcycle Accessories Buying Guide
If you’re interested in enhancing your motorcycle riding experience, consider purchasing a few accessories. These accessories provide an easy way to change up how your bike functions while still being relatively inexpensive. To learn more, check out this guide from the experts at North County Indian Motorcycles®.
Additional Storage
Whether you use your motorcycle for grocery shopping or cross-country trips, there are all kinds of situations in which a little extra storage might be helpful. Options to expand your bike’s storage capacity include saddlebags and luggage racks. If you only think you’ll be using the extra storage every once in a while, try a detachable storage option. As a bonus, these kinds of accessories are available in various styles, meaning you won’t have to worry about finding one that doesn’t clash with your bike’s look.
Bike Cover
A bike cover is a must-have accessory for anyone who plans to store their bike outside. Covers are available in many different sizes and styles. Choose whichever cover best fits your bike, but make sure that it is made of breathable fabric. Otherwise, moisture buildup can damage your bike.
Windshields
Windshields can go a long way towards making your ride more comfortable. They both cut down on wind fatigue and help protect you from insects and flying debris. If you only want to use your windshield on certain rides, try a detachable windshield. Windshields are available in both acrylic and polycarbonate. Acrylic is cheaper and easier to scratch but doesn’t yellow, while polycarbonate is tougher but costs more and does tend to yellow over time.
LED Lights
While LED bulbs are slightly more expensive than your standard lights, they are also more efficient, meaning they use less power while giving off more light. They also last longer, meaning you can save money in the long run. Some bikers choose to customize their bikes by installing colored LEDs.
GPS Navigation System
While many modern bikers just use their smartphones to provide navigation, the last thing you want is to be caught fumbling with your phone on the highway or at a traffic stop. Installing a built-in GPS system eliminates the chances of you getting distracted mid-ride while still providing you with navigation.
