Must Have Modifications for Your Motorcycle
No matter what time of year it is, motorcycle enthusiasts are always looking for an excuse to ride. The cold months make it hard for even the toughest riders to find ways to use their bike. Fortunately, winter is the perfect time to start tinkering and getting your ride ready for spring. Aside from the usual cleaning and tweaking of the engine, there are quite a few ways to take your bike to the next level.
Ruder Exhaust
Depending on what you are looking for, a new exhaust can amp up a bike’s performance and create a lasting impression. The two main variations are stealth exhausts or loud and rude ones. Silent exhausts never fail to stun people when you show up from seemingly nowhere, and, of course, a beefy exhaust always makes a bike sound tough as nails.
Battery Tender
Sometimes, motorcycle batteries have a mind of their own. With one handy installation, the life of your bike’s battery will be less of a struggle. No more surprise dead batteries! This handy and inexpensive box plugs into the battery and helps maintain it while your ride is in storage. While it is not the most bragworthy upgrade, it really is a must-have modification for your bike. It can save a lot of money and frustration.
Lightweight New Look With Fairings
A serious must-have modification for your motorcycle is fairings. They are lightweight shell components added to a bike to reduce air drag. Some thought should go into the right kind of fairing for your bike, naturally. But once you have that nailed down, the difference that fairings can make is stunning. Not only will your bike instantly look like a pro racer’s, but it will feel like one too. Fairings come in a variety of materials, designs, and colors that make upgrading your motorcycle’s look a cinch.
New Look, New Windshield
One totally understated way to modify your bike is with a new windshield. We are way beyond the days of a hunk of glass sticking straight out the top of a bike. These days, there are many more interesting options that offer an array of benefits, from short low-drag sweep styles to broad scoops and various degrees of sun tinted shields. There is no shortage of cool and useful looks for your bike when it comes to windshields.
