5 Must-Have Motorcycle Accessories

Motorcycle riding gives quite a high for its users. After all, it gets a person from one point to
another in a short period while providing good, clean fun.
Beyond that, motorcycle riding provides several opportunities for people interaction and for
communing with one’s surroundings. It gets your adrenaline pumping and gives you a sense of
freedom while riding.

However, for responsible motorcycle riding to commence, one needs the appropriate
accessories.

Being responsible is especially true and vital in ensuring that oneself and the bicycle have
protection – especially if a crash, slide, or fall is inevitable.
One who thinks ahead and purchases the right accessories avoids thousands of dollars worth of
repair costs.

Check out these badass motorcycle helmets for a quick sneak peek to get you started and our
suggestions for must–have accessories below.

1. Eye Protection Accessories
A helmet is an essential gear, and eye protection is a crucial accessory. After all, not all helmets
come with visors.
One needs to secure other eye protection accessories like sunglasses or goggles. These
accessories protect motorcycle riders from catching various forms of debris – such as dust and
gravel fragments – in their eyes.
With the right eye protection accessories, one saves oneself from the trouble of experiencing
itch, discomfort, and unnecessary blinking.
The rain, sunlight glare, bugs, and wind also stand limited chances against you if you have eye
protection.
Also, how can one ride a motorcycle properly if there are deterrents to having a clear vision at
the end of the day?

2. Knee Guards or Pants
Knee guards or motorcycle parts are also vital accessories for motorcycle riders. The sad news
is that most riders tend to forget these accessories.
Advice from expert riders includes purchasing abrasion–resistant, windproof, breathable, and
waterproof riding pants.

Wearing motorcycle pants also comes with securing the proper visibility (which means that one
should equip knees with protective armor and that the pants must have reflective panels).

3. Ear Protection Accessories
Other than eye protection accessories, motorcycle riders must secure ear protection
accessories.
These accessories are essential because motorcycle riders experience several noises regularly.
Note that how the helmet’s sound travels through engine noise, bumpy roads, and excessive
wind may impair hearing in the long run.
Just one ride may cause permanent hearing damage.
Riders need to secure earplugs that easily fit under the helmet and ones they can easily insert
and retrieve.
These earplugs help lower decibel levels without annihilating other important sounds like sirens
and horns.

4. Motorcycle Multi–Toolkit
While the ideal situation for riders is not to use any toolkit when riding a motorcycle, it is still a
good idea to come prepared.
Having a multi–toolkit in the bike always comes in handy if one needs to render repairs on the
roadside.
Each basic motorcycle kit must have the following components, more or less: Tie wraps, cement
putty, essential wrenches, electric tape, hex keys, pliers, and T–bars.
The case for these tools must also fit snugly either under the motorcycle seat or on the luggage.

5. Motorwear Accessories
Not all motor gear is required, but it is only proper to consider accessories like gloves, boots,
and jackets whenever needed.
Even if some of these are expensive (like jackets), motorcycle riders can use them to reduce the
impact of injuries.
For example, some riders have shared the experience of crashing but only having a few bruises
due to having a protective jacket.
Motorcycle boots also add protection by providing better traction on rougher surfaces. As they
are oil–resistant, designers kept in mind that the shoes must work well with pegs, shifters, and
breaks.
