Useful motorbike accessories for a better riding experience

You can't go it alone on a motorbike. We all understand the importance of good basic equipment such as motorcycle clothing and an approved motorcycle helmet. In addition to these basic necessities, there are also many accessories on the market. Not necessarily indispensable, but some accessories do make riding easier and more fun. We have listed a number of them for you.

Telephone holder

A phone holder is not essential, but it is very handy. Especially if you want to use your mobile as a navigation device. This way you don't have to stop every time to check your route. Choose a holder with a waterproof cover or with a charger, so that your phone is not only protected from the rain, but also stays charged. There are various types of phone holders on the market, such as holders that you can mount on the handlebars or holders that you attach to the tank.

Motorbike lock

It is important to properly secure your motorbike against theft, especially if you park it in a public place. A disc brake lock is a popular choice because it is small and easy to use. Make sure you purchase a high-quality lock that is difficult to break open. For example, choose a motorcycle lock from Slotenspeciaalzaak. It can also be useful to use a chain lock to secure your motorcycle to a pole or other fixed object.

Motorcycle cover

If you often park your motorbike outside, a motorbike cover is a good investment. A motorbike cover protects your motorbike against the elements such as rain, sun and wind. It prevents the paint on your motorbike from fading and rusting. Choose a motorbike cover that fits your motorbike and that is easy to store when you are not using it.

Action camera

Whether you are going on holiday or just discovering a new route, a camera is a great way to capture your memories. You can mount an action camera on your handlebars without it getting in the way while riding. Choose a camera that is waterproof so you don't have to worry about anything.

A handy place for your luggage

If you travel a lot on your motorbike, it is important to be able to transport your luggage in a safe and comfortable manner. There are various options available, such as top cases, tank bags, saddlebags and backpacks. A top case is useful if you want to take a lot of stuff with you. A tank bag is ideal for things you want to take quickly, and a saddlebag gives your bike a cool look. Always make sure you secure your luggage properly and distribute the weight evenly.

Motorcycle navigation

In addition to your mobile phone, you can also purchase a separate navigation system. These systems are waterproof and weatherproof and take into account sun reflection. This allows you to navigate safely and easily during your motorcycle ride. Choose a system that fits your budget and needs.

Communication set

A communication set is useful if you make long trips or ride in a group. With a communication set you can play music or talk to friends while you are on the road. There are different types of sets available, from simple headsets to advanced systems with noise-cancelling and Bluetooth. Choose a set that suits your needs and is comfortable to wear while riding.
