Sports Motor Cycle Accessories

Sports Motorcycle Accessories are various additions that may be attached to a motorcycle or come as an integral part of a motorcycle from the factory. There are numerous accessories that can be attached to any sport motorcycle. These accessories are usually attached to benefit either the bike or the rider. Accessories are also mounted in a bike for certain safety reasons as well.

Some of the common sports motorcycle accessories are:

Fairing:
A plastic or fiberglass shell, known as a "fairing", is placed over the frame on some models to shield the rider from the wind, aid in aerodynamics and protect engine components in an accident.

Screens:
Screens, also called windshields or windscreens, can be built into a fairing or be attached to an otherwise unfaired bike. They are usually made from transparent high-impact acrylic plastic.

Heated hand grips/seats:
As motorcycles lack climate control or proper protection from the wind, some manufacturers offer heated seats or hand grips to relieve the discomfort of low temperatures experienced during night riding or the colder months.

Trailer hitch:
A trailer hitch or tow hitch is a device mounted on a motorcycle that enables it to tow a motorcycle trailer, usually to haul additional gear. No motorcycle manufacturer recommends trailer towing because it creates safety hazards for motorcyclists.
