New Motorcycle Accessory Buying Guide

Are you looking for ways to upgrade your new motorcycle? The right accessories can both expand and enhance your bike’s functionality, creating a better experience overall. If you’re interested in learning more, check out this guide from the experts at Taboo Harley-Davidson®.

Storage Options

Since having additional storage is helpful both for short rides and long trips, it’s often one of the first things that new motorcycle owners choose to add to their bikes. Motorcycle storage accessories come in many different types and styles, including saddlebags and luggage racks, so you should be able to find something to match no matter what kind of look you are going for. There are even detachable options for when you only need the storage on certain trips!

Bike Cover

A bike cover will protect your motorcycle from dirt and grime while it’s in storage. Bike covers are available in all kinds of sizes and styles, though you need to make sure that whichever one you choose is made using breathable fabric. Otherwise, moisture can build up and eventually damage your bike.

Windshields

If you want a more comfortable ride, a windshield is the perfect accessory for you. These accessories protect the rider both from wind fatigue and from flying debris. If you feel like you’ll only want a windshield on certain trips, detachable models are also available.

LED Lights

While LED lights might be a bit more expensive than standard lights, they give off more light while consuming less power. They also last longer, which means that you can save money in the long run if you switch. If you want to personalize your ride a bit, you can choose to install colored LEDs.

GPS Navigation System

While many bikers just use their phones to navigate these days, a built-in GPS system means easier navigation with less risk of distraction. The last thing you want is to be caught fumbling around on your smartphone while at a traffic stop or on the highway.
