Accessories For Your Motorcycle
Your bike is obviously pretty great as it is, but you can make it even better with some carefully selected accessories! There are dozens of different types of motorcycle accessories out there that can improve your comfort and safety as you ride. Arizona Honda, serving the Holbrook and Show Low, is your Copper State motorcycle dealership, so we’ve highlighted a few of our favorite easy-to-install motorcycle accessories below to give you some ideas.
Additional Storage Options
If you regularly ride for very long distances or go motorcycle camping, then you may want to invest in extra storage spaces on your bike. Even daily commuters may want more space to store extra clothing or their briefcase or purse. And every rider has a number of items that need to be kept on their bike, from first-aid kits to tool sets to waterproof outerwear. Installing some saddlebags, luggage racks or windshield-mounted bags can give you more places to stash all your stuff conveniently and securely as you travel.
Bike Cover
If you park your bike outside or even in a garage for a while, you’ll likely notice a build-up of dust over time. A good-quality cover will protect your bike from damage due to precipitation, sun fading and grime build-up. It can even help keep out pests! Breathable fabrics that prevent the build-up of moisture are best. Make sure you get a well-fitting cover designed for your particular type of bike for the best results.
Windshield
Tired of feeling the ache of long hours of balancing on your bike, bracing against the wind? Reduce or eliminate wind fatigue entirely by installing a windshield on your motorcycle. Windshields not only block out wind, but they also reduce the amount of precipitation that hits you, as well as flying debris like dust, pebbles and bugs. You’ll stay cleaner and drier with a windshield and you won’t have to fight against wind gusts. Options include removable or permanent windshields, and you can choose between acrylic and polycarbonate materials.
GPS Unit
Do you find yourself struggling with your cardinal directions once you leave the city? A GPS navigational system will keep you from getting lost out in the desert. Use it to look up the most efficient routes between home and your destination. It’s much easier to access than your phone and less likely to distract you. You can choose from a wide array of different GPS units to find one that is compatible with your particular motorcycle.
LED Lighting
Sometimes the lights that come factory-issue on your bike just aren’t bright enough to illuminate the path ahead, and you always want to make sure that you can see and be seen when riding your motorcycle.
That’s where brilliant and bold LED lights come into play. Their super-bright beams ensure that you’ll be able to see more clearly and they last for a very long time. While LED lights cost more initially to purchase and install, they’re more economical and you won’t have to replace them nearly as often as standard halogen lights.
If you want to express your personality, you can look into getting colorful LED lights to install along the edges of your bike. No one’s going to be able to miss you on the highway when you’re a veritable high-speed rainbow of illumination!
