Whether you use a motorcycle for short trips, daily commutes or longer tours, one thing is for certain, you are going to want to be as comfortable as possible.

A standard motorcycle without any accessories is not going to provide the best level of comfort but luckily, there are a number of additional products that can be added to your motorbike to increase comfort and help make your journeys as enjoyable as possible.

So, here are the top five motorcycle accessories you can use to increase those comfort levels:

1. Screens

Anyone with even an ounce of motorcycle experience will be able to tell you just how much of a nuisance it can be to deal with the full effect of the wind during rides and thankfully, motorcycle screens offer a solution.

Many screens out there on the market, for example Puig screens, feature a tailored shape and smooth, rounded edges that effectively redirect wind away from the rider’s head and torso. This means they can enjoy their time with their motorcycle without being battered by the wind.

2. Tank Bags

When it comes to motorcycle tank bags, many people’s first thoughts would be that they offer convenient storage in an easy-to-reach location. However, their contribution to rider comfort is not to be overlooked.

Not only do tank bags sit within arms reach to offer quick access to essentials, they are also the perfect alternative to using a motorcycle backpack. In fact, in comparison to the often uncomfortable backpacks, tank bags are much less taxing on your body and do not cause fatigue.

3. Footpegs

Gain more comfortable foot positioning.

The comfort offered by the positioning of motorcycle footpegs is rather subjective and that is the problem with those that come as standard, they tend to have a fixed position and as a result, many riders turn to aftermarket footpegs.

That is where some of the footpegs available really earn their salt and the most notable of which is adjustable footpegs. These can be rotated to provide the best positioning for each individual and most are even available for the passenger too.

If that was not enough, some of these footpegs are also encased in rubber, dampening vibrations to take comfort levels up another notch.

4. Levers

Motorcycle levers are another potential addition to your motorbike that should be considered if you are seeking to maximise comfort, with aftermarket levers offering incentives that standard levers simply cannot compete with.

The vast majority of aftermarket motorcycle levers make use of a six point adjuster that allows you to fine tune the grab distance to best fit your hands while some even take it a step further with the option of adjustable sizes for a more permanent tailored fit.

5. Hand Muffs

Hand muffs are a universal product that are aimed at benefiting both convenience and comfort and while using them for convenience comes down to whether it is really needed, there is no doubting their comfort enhancement.

Although they are universally fitting, hand muffs tend to be used on scooters as a convenient alternative to wearing and having to frequently remove gloves. On the other hand, if it is comfort you seek, hand muffs really come into their own, sheltering your hands from wind, rain and anything else the elements throw your way.
