New motorcycles come in their most pristine and optimized condition. However, you can still improve your overall riding experience by getting a few aftermarket accessories for your bike. Keep reading this guide to learn more about the items to buy before your next ride, and for more information, contact Timms Harley-Davidson® of Anderson.

1. Helmet Locks

The helmet is the most critical safety accessory for motorcycle riders, and you should never ride your bike without wearing yours. You will also want to keep your model safe from crafty thieves trying to steal it when you leave it unattended in the parking lot. Carrying the helmet around is cumbersome, so lock it on your motorcycle as you go about your day.

Invest in a good quality helmet lock to keep your protective gear safe and enjoy peace of mind when running errands or commuting to your workplace on your new motorcycle.

2. Ignition Lock

Another handy accessory to buy for your new motorcycle is an ignition lock. This item replaces traditional key ignitions and offers a secure and keyless mechanism to start your engine.

An ignition lock uses a unique code programmed into the key fob to start your motorcycle engine on demand. It uses radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to establish contact between a key fob and the receiver. This advanced mechanism helps prevent theft and provides you with the safety you need for your bike.

3. Saddlebags

We often recommend that our customers buy saddlebags to keep their belongings safe and in place during a ride. Whether your new motorcycle has a saddlebag or not, you can install one that perfectly suits your needs. If you need help selecting a model that complements the aesthetics of your new motorcycle, let our friendly staff guide you.
