A new motorcycle may initially seem exciting enough, but once you’ve seen some of the incredible bikes out there, it’s easy to feel like something is missing. Whether you’re looking for an aesthetic boost or performance enhancements, we’ve compiled a list of the essential modifications for your motorcycle.
Tank Pads
Tank pads are all about maintaining the sleek and sexy look of your bike. When you’re decked out in safety gear, a stray zipper can easily scratch your paint and change your perfect ride into a chipped disaster. With some expertly placed tank pads, you won’t have to worry about this any longer. Plus, a little extra comfort on your bike never hurts.
Brake Pads
At the other end of the spectrum are brake pads. This addition won’t turn any heads— in fact, no one looking at your bike would even know they were there. However, many new riders forget that speed isn’t everything. Great brake pads contribute to a fun and safe riding experience—and stopping on a dime is a pretty cool party trick, too.
Exhaust
An upgraded exhaust system is easily the coolest modification your bike can have. The first benefit is also the most obvious: aftermarket exhaust systems look way better than stock options. Even people who know nothing about motorcycles will see your exhaust system and think “Wow.” On top of the sleek new look, upgrading your exhaust system has a major effect on the sound of your bike.
If you want to feel like a genuine biker, take a motorcycle with an aftermarket exhaust system out for a spin. Plus, there’s even a safety benefit that comes with this upgrade. Namely, a louder bike is more difficult to miss on the road, preventing accidents that arise when drivers don’t notice motorcyclists.
Now that you know the essential modifications for your motorcycle, do yourself (and your bike) a favor and take your ride to the next level.
