What Are The Best Motorcycle Accessories?

Motorcycle accessories can give your bike a unique flair, equip it for work, and make it easier to secure and keep safe from theft. But the best motorcycle accessories play an even more important role: keeping you safe every time you take a ride. At Riva Motorsports Miami, we offer a wide range of top-quality motorcycle accessories and equipment, allowing you to enjoy your motorcycle while also protecting yourself. 

Ride Smarter and Safer With the Right Motorcycle Accessories

Wearable accessories, such as helmets and gloves, help you stay safe in the event of an accident or collision, protecting you from abrasion or physical force. But these accessories aren't just useful in an emergency. They can also be comfortable—helmets can block out sharp wind and bright sunlight, and leather wearable gear can keep rain and wind at bay. For many bike riders, accessories also provide the right aesthetic appeal. Whether you want to stay warm and dry on long trips or you want to make sure you're protected on busy highways, Riva Motorsports Miami has a large inventory of different motorcycle accessories and an experienced team of riders and enthusiasts who can help you pick the right products. 

When shopping, it's essential to start with the basics—gear that gets you road-ready and safe. After that, you can check out exciting add-ons and optional gear that make riding even more enjoyable.

Before You Hit the Road – Gear for Every Rider

The best motorcycle accessories prioritize safety. Start with these four essential motorcycle accessories: 

Helmet

Helmets are the most important accessory you can buy. Motorcycle riders must have a DOT-certified motorcycle helmet that meets minimum safety standards for street-legal driving. At Riva, we stock motorcycle helmets that meet DOT standards for impact attenuation, penetration resistance, and more. For even more protection, consider Snell-certified helmets. Snell is an independent third party, and while you aren't legally required to wear a Snell-certified helmet, it offers more rigorously tested protection against impact and penetration.

There are two main types of motorcycle helmets: full-face helmets that are lightweight and fully cover your face, and modular helmets with a liftable visor. Both types of helmets can have extra features like vents and Bluetooth integration. 

Riding Gloves

Riding gloves protect your hands from wind and rain on casual drives, but—depending on the materials and features—they can also protect your hands from scratches and broken bones in an accident. Breathable mesh gloves are flexible and comfortable, but offer limited protection. In contrast, reinforced leather gloves are durable, warmer, and provide more protection.

Motorcycle Jacket

Motorcycle jackets can protect you from impact and bad weather. With the right visibility features, they can also help other drivers see you in dark or crowded roadways. Consider which materials make the most sense for you. Leather is more durable and waterproof, while textile is more breathable but generally only water-resistant. Both can have armor sewn into the jacket for impact protection. 

Riding Boots and Pants

Just like a jacket protects your torso, riding boots and pants protect your legs and feet. Consider all-weather, waterproof boots and pants to protect against cold rain and wind. For boots, look for comfortable options that have ankle support and harder, reinforced soles, not just abrasion resistance, so that you can stay comfortable during hours of riding.

Useful and Cool Motorcycle Accessories

Once you have the essentials covered, you can start to explore different accessories. Some useful but non-essential accessories include earplugs to protect your hearing from wind and loud engine noise, a phone mount to easily check your map, and a motorcycle lock to protect your bike from theft. You can also look into fun accessories, such as patches for your jacket, tank bags, and aftermarket grips.
