5 Great Motorcycle Accessories
While your motorcycle comes with plenty of excellent features, it may not have every single thing you want it to have. Fortunately, you can address this relatively easily by considering the many aftermarket accessories available to you. From unique lights to covers to additional storage options, you have a wealth of options before you when it comes to customizing your motorcycle.
Indian Motorcycle® of Orange County is your SoCal motorcycle dealer, located in Westminster. Below, you’ll find a list of the best motorcycle accessories to outfit your bike with for improved comfort, safety and customization.
1. LED Lights
The standard halogen lights on your motorcycle might not be bright enough to really illuminate the way ahead at night or in dim lighting conditions. Swap out those bulbs for brilliant and long-lasting LED lights. While these lights cost a little more up front, they end up lasting longer and burn brighter, which saves you money in the long run. You can even choose different colors and opt for adding additional lights to your motorcycle to make it really stand out.
2. Protective Cover
No matter whether you store your motorcycle indoors or outdoors, you should always cover it up. While you might have a simple tarp that does the job, the truth is that a well-fitted motorcycle cover will do a much better job of protecting your bike. A snug motorcycle cover that’s water-resistant will keep out the rain and prevent sun damage while also reducing the chance of pests sneaking into your exhaust pipe or thieves scoping out your ride.
3. Storage Options
Your bike may have some storage options on it, but you could always use more, right? Check out sturdy leather saddlebags or top-side boxes that can hold your cargo securely and safely, keeping it protected from the elements. Lockable storage options mean you can stash your helmet and other riding gear on your bike without having to carry them around wherever you go.
4. GPS Unit
If your motorcycle doesn’t already come with its own navigational system, you may want to invest in a GPS unit of your own. Knowing where you’re going and how to get there quickly and efficiently is important. GPS units are better than using your phone because they won’t be distracting and they’re easy to access and program.
5. Windshield
This accessory is extremely useful and practical for anyone who commutes or rides long distances. A windshield will help reduce the wind fatigue you may feel after bracing yourself against the breeze for hours at a time. Windshields also prevent you from being splashed by puddles or hit with bugs as you ride. Choose between removable and permanent options.
