Is Modifying Your Brand New Bike an Investment

June 26, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

There’s no better feeling than getting a brand new motorcycle. The single-digit odometers, fresh smell of new tires, and seeing your ride in your garage are just some of the perks of bringing your new motorcycle home from the showroom. But as great as it is to be the proud owner of a flawless motorcycle, there are some things that you don’t love about your new ride.

You may want to make some modifications. But you may also feel unsure about whether it is a worthy investment. There are plenty of upgrades you can make that are worth the money even if your motorcycle is fresh from the factory. Here are some easy and sensible ways to personalize your new bike with the best genuine motorcycle parts.

Air Filter

One of the easiest and effective mods is simply getting a new air filter. This allows your motorcycle to breathe more easily. Go for an aftermarket, performance-oriented air filters. They’re slightly more expensive than the stock paper ones, but they’re a worthy investment and will last a long time with the right maintenance.

Tires

If you have brand new tires, you may not want to waste money on new ones. However, stock tires are substandard and can negatively impact your riding experience. OEM tires can hinder your motorcycle’s handling, personality, and appearance. Thankfully, it’s easy to order new tires and other motorcycle parts online.

Frame Sliders

The last thing you want is to damage your new frame due to a crash or unexpected tip-over. Investing in some frame sliders will protect your frame from any unsuspecting damage.

Engine Guards

If you have a cruiser or big twin, you may need an engine guard too. An engine guard is simply a steel bar that safeguards the engine from the ground if something happens. A guard will help keep your engine free of scratches and dents.

Fender Eliminator

Eliminating OEM fenders is probably one of the most common upgrades of brand new motorcycles. This is because stock fenders tend to be bulky and unappealing. When purchasing a fender eliminator kit, make sure it complies with your local law.

Battery Tender

A battery tender may not be the most exciting modification, but it’s one that will save you from the dreaded “click” when your motorcycle won’t start. Keep your battery in peak condition with this simple upgrade.

Windshield

Manufacturers tend to just slap on windshields that are adequate enough to get it out of the dealership. But they tend to fall short depending on your height, speed, and personal preference. There are various windshields that direct airflow differently. If your windshield is too small or causes the air to hit your face, it may be worth it to get an upgrade.

Exhaust System

Upgrading your exhaust tends to be fairly expensive, but it’s one of the most exciting modifications. If you’re not ready for a completely new system, you can get a new muffler. This gives you some extra performance and a satisfying sound.

You can find aftermarket and OEM motorcycle parts for your new ride online.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
