7 Best Motorcycle Aftermarket Parts For Beginners

​Riders share a special bond with their bikes that gets them from point A to B, like any other mode of motorized transportation. It’s not a surprise that motorcycles, just like cars, are regularly modified and customized. Motorcycles are often out in the open and easy to access. The relatively small size of a motorcycle requires smaller and fewer raw materials. 

Different styles and an endless array of aftermarket brands compete for your business. Knowing where to start upon upgrading might feel like a bit of an uphill battle. Here, we break down the best beginner’s motorcycle upgrades. 

1. Tires

Its ability to bolster grip and traction vastly improves a bike’s cornering abilities. At the same time, it instills relatively more confidence in the rider, evolving their riding abilities.
   
   
2. Crash Protection
   You can find various aftermarket outfits that sell crash protection pieces designed to protect different areas on the bike. These include the axles/wheels, tank, and frame, to name a few. This upgrade offers peace of mind and a cheaper alternative that requires less hassle than replacing torn plastics.
   
   
3. Rearsets
   A bike that properly fits your height is crucial for proper riding. Aftermarket rearsets, usually made of high-end materials, are performance-oriented foot-pages for sports riding. It undeniably improves your riding and adds a dash of race track aesthetic to your bike.
   
   
4. Tank Pads/Grips/Skins
   The technique for spirited sports riding is relying on your outside knee to hook onto the tank for support. Tank pads can increase a rider’s ability to support themselves by improving the grip around the tank. You can often see these textured skins on racebooks or heavily-modified sports bikes. Additionally, tank pads are easy to install and effective at doing their job.
