What Are the Best Triumph Motorcycle Accessories?
When customizing or upgrading your motorcycle, you should always look for products that will be aesthetically good as well as functional and increase your bike's performance. With decades of experience under their belt, all Triumph luggage and accessories are engineered and tested alongside their bikes and, just like Triumph motorbikes themselves, they come with a 2-year warranty for even greater peace of mind. The right accessories are going to depend on what style of motorcycle you have and what type of riding you’re going to be doing. Here are some basic recommendations to get you started!
What Are the Best Motorcycle Accessories?
Having a windscreen on your bike is going to protect you from flying debris, such as rocks, pebbles, dirt, loose pavement, and bugs. Strong wind can also make it difficult for you to steer, thus making your journey not only uncomfortable, but very hazardous. Installing hand guards is also a great protective add on. In addition to being able to adjust the height of your seat, you may also want to consider a different, more comfortable option especially for touring. These aftermarket additions are easily installed by our team and make a world of difference especially on longer rides.
If you buy a new bike, it will come equipped with a roadside tool kit, ensuring that you always have the correct tools for your bike. A tire puncture kit should always be carried and include a CO2 canister so you can re-inflate the tire. You’ll need some sort of luggage to carry at least the basics, whether it’s a tank bag or a pannier, it’s important to ensure that your luggage is made to fit securely on your particular model motorcycle. Your luggage should provide storage that is adequate for your needs and the bags should be mounted with rails for maximum support.
In addition to navigation technology, the range of helmet communicators available these days is remarkable. Bluetooth communication makes riding, especially with friends much more safe and enjoyable. Triumph TFT Connectivity and SOS via the MyTriumph app provide Google integration, accident detection and an emergency alert system that utilizes a smartphone app to quickly connect you to the nearest emergency services in the event of an accident.
Which Accessories Will Work with My Motorcycle?
For the most part, accessories are either universal or tailored to meet the specific needs and dimensions of certain models. Other things to consider when outfitting your bike in addition to your specific model and riding style is the season and weather conditions. If you’re riding in a cold climate for example heated grips are going to make a huge difference. If off-road adventures are your plan then weatherproof luggage in addition to things like mud guards are important to consider.
Protective motorcycle covers are a necessary part of owning a nice bike to protect it from dust, rain, sunlight and scratches. Make sure your cover fits snugly, is breathable, and releases moisture. Adding a security system to your motorcycle can also be a good investment. Another worthwhile security device is a portable U-Lock which can be threaded through your wheel spokes and attached to an external anchor point.
