Accessories for Your Motorcycle

After you’ve spent some time breaking in your motorcycle, you might come up with a few ideas for accessories to make it even better. Whether you want to improve your overall comfort, safety, style, or all of the above, there are plenty of options to choose from. If your bike is your main method of transportation, then accessory upgrades are probably even more important to you. You’ll be enjoying the open road with easier travel and the ability to stay on the road longer thanks to your upgrades.

At Family Powersports Odessa, we encourage riders to check out accessory options that might benefit them. For more information or for help finding and installing upgrades, stop by our dealership today! We’re located near Midland, Andrews, Pecos, and Fort Stockton, Texas.

Heated Hand Grips

If you’ll be riding a lot when it’s cold out, you might want to invest in some heated hand grips. The colder your hands are, the more they’ll struggle to manipulate the controls on your bike. Heated hand grips are easy to install and will keep your fingers comfortable so you can easily make those quick responses on the road. Your heated hand grips will shut off automatically when the ignition is powered off, so no need to worry about it draining your battery after you’re done riding. There are different styles to choose from so you can match it to that of your bike. Heated hand grips are self-contained so they won’t clutter the appearance of your motorcycle.

Storage Options

You’ll need a place to store your gear when you ride your bike. Even for shorter rides, you’ll need to have access to a first aid kit, tool kit, and waterproof outer layers. If you plan to go on overnight trips or long tours, then you’ll need to pack clothing, medications, toiletries, and so on. It’s not likely that your bike will have space for all of these items.

Fortunately, there are many different storage accessory options available, like saddlebags and luggage racks. Better yet, some options are even detachable and portable. You can add the accessory to your bike when you need it and remove it when it’s not in use. Smaller storage choices, such as windshield mounted bags, can store small tools, your phone, and the like. All of these accessory options are designed to fit with the style and frame of your motorcycle.

Motorcycle Cover

Let’s face it, your bike needs protection. When you leave our motorcycle exposed in the garage or sitting outside, it can quickly lead to damage from dust and grime buildup. Considering that you’ve already spent a good amount of money on your bike it’s worth it to spend a bit extra for a cover that’ll keep it performing and looking great. Quality covers are made of breathable fabrics that work to prevent moisture buildup. You’ll want to use your cover whenever you store your motorcycle for a period of time. Whether you’ll be away for the weekend or storing it for the winter, you should always make use of the cover.

Windshield

While some motorcycles come with a built-in windshield, there are some that do not. A windshield is a key accessory that can improve the quality of your ride. A windshield blocks some of the harsh winds that would otherwise pound against your body and cause rider fatigue. When you invest in a windshield, you’ll be able to ride longer. It also prevents bugs and debris from hitting you or your clothing.

You can choose to purchase a permanent or removable windshield for your bike. The detachable style allows you to attach it for long trips and remove it for shorter ones, which is also helpful for storage purposes. Popular material options include acrylic, which is more affordable and won’t yellow with time, but it can scratch more easily. Polycarbonate is the more durable option, but it can yellow over time and tends to cost more.
