ATV, Motorcycle & Snowmobile Accessories
Are your grips slipping, is your handlebar sitting too low, or do you need more room for gear on the trip? This category brings together accessories and spare parts for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs and snowmobiles – from grips, handlebars and footpegs to plastics, protection and luggage. It is for you if you want to adapt your vehicle to your riding style, terrain and season.
Grips, handlebars and controls
You control the vehicle with your hands and feet, so small changes can be clearly felt. Grips come in different compounds and patterns, e.g. Renthal MX Grips in medium or firm with a waffle or diamond pattern. A softer grip can dampen vibrations, while a firmer one typically gives a more direct feel. For cold rides there are heated grips, e.g. BikeMaster 7/8in Heated Grips with an LCD switch. Under handlebars and handlebar parts you will find, among other things, handlebar risers and clamps that change the height and position of the bar.
How to choose the right accessories
Start with the vehicle and how you use it, then check the dimensions:
- Handlebar diameter: grips and clamps must fit the handlebar, e.g. 7/8in or 28.6 mm, and clamps can have different offsets that affect the handlebar position.
- Model and year: plastics, protection and lights are often made for specific models, so check the fitment for the specific part number.
- Use: track, touring and winter riding place different demands on grips, protection and luggage.
- Power: heated grips and LED lights load the electrical system, so check what your vehicle can supply.
Protection, plastics and luggage
A crash or a stone from the front wheel can quickly crack a fender or hit the engine and radiator. Protection parts can shield exposed areas, while plastics for motorcycles and ATVs replace damaged fenders and panels. For longer trips, bags and luggage systems can give you room for your gear. In this category you will find brands such as Cycra, Kuryakyn, Burly Brand and Mustang Motorcycle. For UTVs there are also LED lights and whips, e.g. DragonFire Racing Whips. Whether lights or a fender eliminator kit may be used on the road depends on the product and vehicle, so check approval such as E-mark for the specific part number.
Installation and maintenance
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and torque specifications, especially on handlebars and clamps. Route cables and wires so they are not pinched when the handlebar is turned – cable holders, e.g. from BikeMaster, can keep them in place. Re-tighten bolts after the first rides, and regularly check grips for wear, plastics for cracks and connectors for lights and heated grips for dirt and moisture.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between soft and firm grips?
A softer grip can dampen vibrations and give a comfortable hold, while a firmer grip typically gives a more direct feel of the handlebar. The choice depends on your riding style, gloves and how long you ride at a time.
How do I know if a grip fits my handlebar?
Check the handlebar diameter, e.g. 7/8in, and whether the throttle requires a specific type of grip. Some grips need to be glued or secured with wire, and heated grips require space for wiring and a switch.
Can I ride on the road with a fender eliminator kit and extra lights?
It depends on the product and vehicle. The license plate position and lighting as well as extra lights must comply with the regulations, so check approval, e.g. E-mark, for the specific part number before riding on public roads.
Why fit a handlebar riser?
A handlebar riser can give a more upright riding position and better control when you stand up in the terrain. Check that cables, hoses and wires are long enough for the new handlebar height.
