Get ready to dive into the world of secure and stylish motorcycle modifications that will not only make your ride look incredible but also keep you safe on the road. Let's create a masterpiece that's both stunning and secure!
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

No "test" of the protective ability of the armor yet :)
No "test" of the protective ability of the armor, thank goodness! But I will say it was really difficult to get it into the pockets on the sweatpants. And one of the hip ones I never could get to lie flat.
I love feel and weight of the vest while trying it on. It fits snug but feels a little stiff, which can be remedied. Overall love the quality for the price.
Even though the advertising depicts women with not a small behind, I found that the pants were a bit short in the rear when sitting on the bike, not terrible, but could be better. And I don't have an unusually large butt. Also, when on the bike there was quite a bit of fabric wrinkled up in the front. Like I said, maybe it fits someone perfectly, just not me. It's not so bad that I want to send them back. Also, I wear Forma boots which are pretty tall and fitted to my leg, so those big zippers have to be arranged perfectly inside the boot so they don't rub. Again, not something I will send the pants back for, but smaller zippers would be appreciated. With my regular riding "tennis" shoes, they're fine. In addition, the velcro on the Forma boots tears the fabric of the pants if it contacts them, which initiates a pretzel-like contortion of my arms to keep it from doing that while putting on said boots. Sounds like a lot of issues, but you asked. :)
Overall, I like the pants and won't be returning them.
Thank you so much for all of this feedback! Our goal is to have a perfect fit for everyone, so this review gives us lots to work with for our upcoming projects.
We're glad that you like the pants enough to keep them. We hope they serve you well in always riding protected.
These pants are AMAZING! Fit is flawless, they are so comfortable and look great on. They are stretchy in all the right places, no fabric bulging out at the waist, etc. I can’t think of a single flaw on these pants, I’ll definitely be buying more!
