Enhanced Visibility: See and Be Seen
Picture yourself cruising on your motorcycle, visible to all around you while still turning heads with your unique style. Increased visibility ensures that you're seen by other drivers, reducing the risk of accidents. Consider these mods to make your ride both safe and stylish:
LED lighting: As mentioned in our main article, LED lights offer a perfect blend of style and safety. They provide bright, efficient illumination, making your bike more visible to other drivers.
High-visibility paint and decals: Custom paint jobs in high-visibility colors or reflective decals can increase your bike's visibility while adding a touch of flair.
Reflective gear: Wearing high-visibility or reflective clothing and helmets makes you more noticeable to other drivers and complements your motorcycle's style.
Tire and Wheel Upgrades: Ride with Confidence
Feel the grip of high-quality tires beneath you as you confidently navigate twists and turns. Upgraded tires and wheels not only enhance your bike's appearance but also improve its handling and performance, contributing to a safer ride. Consider the following:
High-performance tires: Premium tires offer better grip and handling, ensuring a secure and stable ride.
Wider tires: Depending on your bike, wider tires can provide increased stability and traction, boosting both safety and style.
Custom wheels: Personalize your ride with custom wheels that not only look great but also offer improved performance and handling.
Ergonomic Upgrades: Comfort and Control
Imagine yourself in complete control of your motorcycle, with every part tailored to your comfort and needs. Ergonomic upgrades not only enhance your bike's style but also improve your riding experience, making it safer and more enjoyable. Some ideas include:
Custom seats: As highlighted in our main article, custom seats provide both comfort and style, allowing you to ride longer distances without fatigue.
Adjustable levers: Customizable brake and clutch levers offer a personalized fit, ensuring optimal control and responsiveness.
Custom handlebars: Swapping out handlebars can significantly impact your bike's appearance and handling, allowing you to find the perfect balance of style and safety.
You've now explored the world of secure and stylish motorcycle modifications, proving that safety and style can coexist in harmony. As you embark on your customization journey, remember to prioritize your well-being on the road while expressing your unique personality.

30+ Years of Riding Strong. What Our New Logo Really Means
Our 30th Anniversary Logo isn’t just about Eagle Leather — it’s about honoring the riders who’ve kept us rolling since 1995. Every element reflects the...
I needed a new helmet and did not want to chance getting the wrong size by ordering online. The staff was very helpful in making sure I chose the right size and helmet for my needs from a very large selection and styles. The price was great for the helmet purchased.
I am a thick built woman with a short inseam so I always have trouble finding jeans of any style that fit me properly. These are dang near perfect! Very comfortable, have some stretch to them, and while they are a bit long on me, they aren't SO long that I can't wear them without hemming. I may do that eventually but for now, they are fine to wear as is. I may also get some hip armor later on but I'm happy with the kevlar lining. Really happy with them! Probably have to get a second pair as soon as I can afford to!
These do a pretty good job at letting you manipulate your phone or GPS using normal gloves. Only advice I have is to read the instructions prior to putting them on, I didn't and the first ones fell off. I followed the instructions and they work just fine. Crazy how that works. 🤣
I have a number of riding jeans and leggings. However, those are all quite thick and unfortunately stiff not counting the armor. A stop at Eagle Leather in Lakewood WA for other reasons led me to discover these leggings. They not only fit better but are more flexible and thus comfortable while riding. As a result I look less like a stuffed toy but more like myself. There is a huge selection of gear at this store and a range of styles and prices to match a budget.
A quality product. Sharp loking and built to provide some serious protection. I love this jacket!. The thermal liner keeps me toasty on chilly rides. The sip open vents add circulation and cooling when the day starts to warm up. Perfect fit, and being tall the sleeves are a great fit.(6'6").
Im impressed...
Thank you, Boyd! We’re thrilled to hear how much you love your new jacket and that it’s delivering on both comfort and protection. It’s great to know the fit and sleeve length work perfectly for you—especially for taller riders. The thermal liner and vents really do make it a year-round favorite. We appreciate your feedback and your enthusiasm—ride safe and enjoy every mile!
