However, everyone has different purposes and habits of riding a motorcycle, and their body posture is also different. Therefore, proper modification can actually make the bike more suitable for your needs, more personalized and better able to show your own style. Today, Helmet King has sorted out seven popular modified car parts for you, including parts that can improve riding comfort, and there are also parts that can improve driving safety.

Goggles

  • Avoid strong winds and improve riding comfort
  • No longer need to fight against strong wind for a long time, reducing riding fatigue
  • Improved aerodynamic spoiler effect
  • Enhanced Visual Effects

Generally, the original goggles of Boche are designed to be low-key and smooth, and the design is too low, which also makes the actual effect of the goggles very small. Then, whether it is a sports car or a street car, by modifying and adding a higher goggle, the goggle can play its own wind-shielding effect, allowing the rider to ride comfortably behind the goggle when riding at medium and high speeds, without having to fight against wind pressure , reduce riding fatigue. Compared with the original factory goggles, the modified goggles are more curved and designed, which can improve the visual effect of the whole vehicle and enhance the visual effect.

Modified handlebar

  • Adjust the riding posture to make the posture more in line with the knight's posture
  • Make motorcycles more competitive/comfortable

As mentioned above, the settings of the original factory car are not necessarily suitable for every rider. For some riders, motorcycles are a passionate tool for them, and they may hope that the riding posture of their street sports car will be more combative. But for another group of riders, they may want their street bike to be more comfortable and ride without any burden. Regardless of whether the purpose is to make the car more competitive/comfortable, the riding posture plays a very important role. To improve the riding posture, it must be achieved by modifying the handlebars and the pedals that will be introduced next. As for the handlebar, car owners can increase the height of the handlebar by adding a handlebar base or modifying the handlebar to be higher than the original factory, so that the car becomes more comfortable and oriented. And car owners who want a more aggressive style can achieve a lower and stable riding posture by modifying the split handle.

Modified pedals

  • Adjust the riding posture to make the posture more in line with the knight's posture
  • Make motorcycles more competitive/comfortable

Like the handlebars, the main purpose of modifying the pedals is also to adjust the riding posture of the rider. Owners who want their bikes to become more aggressive can choose a foot pedal setback kit to make the riding posture more aggressive, and the inclination limit of the motorcycle will also become higher (the pedals are less likely to grind to the ground). Many modified pedals will provide a certain range of space, allowing the owner to further fine-tune the height and position of the pedals, so that the position of the pedals is almost completely set for you, even if you are not satisfied after the first installation, you can still There is room for fine-tuning, which is different from the fact that there is no way to change much after the handlebar is installed. In addition to adjusting the pedal position, modified pedals usually have knurled grooves, which can provide better anti-slip effect and avoid operating errors. Finally, the "foot feel" of modified pedals is usually better than the original one, which is why many riders love to use modified pedals.

Brake lever (Horn)

  • Fine-tune the position of the tie rod to better meet the needs of the rider
  • Improve the visual effect of the car
  • Improve brake feel

The brake lever (horn) is the first part that many riders will choose to modify soon after the new car lands, because the brake lever provided by the original factory usually cannot adjust its position, which is especially unfriendly to riders with relatively small palms. The modification of horns usually mentions the multi-stage adjustable function of the lever position. The rider can adjust the position of the lever according to his favorite feel to improve the brake feel. In addition, many refit brands on the market will provide car owners with a variety of colors to choose from, and many car owners who want to improve the visual effect of their cars will also refit horns accordingly.

Bow Guard

  • Avoid damage to the brake lever in case of an accident, making it impossible to operate the brake
  • Prevent the front brake from being touched by mistake, causing the car to fall
  • Enhance the competitive sense of the car

Riders who watch the MotoGP electric car race must be familiar with the bow guard because the bow guard has been a must-install part on MotoGP racing cars since 2011. The purpose of the bow guard in the arena is to prevent racers from accidentally touching the front brake of others during close combat, which may lead to serious accidents. After all, it is very dangerous to press the front brake in the middle of a bend. It is more difficult for similar situations to happen in daily life after leaving the racing field. The function of the bow guard is mainly to protect the brake lever when the car is accidentally dropped, to avoid damage to the brake lever and the inability to operate the brakes. The original accident with little damage leads to troubles such as dispatching a tow truck Condition. There are also many car owners who like the passionate feeling of factory racing in the MotoGP field, so they choose to add bow guards to enhance the competitive sense of the car. It is a modified car part that many sports car and sports street car owners love.

Engine Cover

Compared with the car parts introduced above, the function of the engine cover is relatively simple. The main function of the engine cover is to prevent the engine from being damaged due to friction with the road surface when the car falls, causing secondary damage such as oil leakage, which aggravates the damage. car damage.

Tire

  • Top priority option for improving motorcycle performance
  • The better the performance of the tire, the higher the limit, and it is less likely to cause accidents under limit conditions
