3 Dangerous Motorcycle Mods You Should Avoid

12/1/2022

Picture
​Many motorcycle riders take great care and pleasure in their vehicle and many like customizing it with aftermarket parts. Most times, this can improve the bike's outward appearance and safety, although certain alterations are riskier than others. 

Most people don't recognize the risks associated with these typical changes because they are unaware of them. The changes to motorcycles that are the most dangerous and that raise the possibility of a motorcycle crash are listed below.
  1. Customized Grips For Handlebars
    As you'll see, there's a tendency for personalizing handlebars, which raises the risks associated with driving. The replacement of the grips is the same. Most people believe that changing something as straightforward as the handles would have minimal impact on how the bike handles, but studies have shown that this is not the case. 

    To give your motorcycle a new look, it can be tempting to replace worn-out grips with new ones of a different style, but you must always purchase OEM replacements.

    Many aftermarket alternatives are overly soft, which can significantly impair your ability to steer the bike when navigating congested or more hazardous roads.

  2. Removing Important Parts
    Some motorcycle riders opt to remove their rearview mirrors, even though doing so is exceedingly dangerous, usually to achieve a more streamlined appearance.

    Thanks to your rearview mirrors, you can see traffic both in front of and behind you without moving your head. This is crucial when driving because a brief moment could determine whether a motorbike accident victim survives or not. Simply put, taking down your mirrors is not worth the danger.

    Some riders think applying the back brakes alone will stop a motorcycle safely. However, this is incorrect. The front brakes have more stopping power than the rear brake, contributing to the remaining 1/4 of the overall stopping force.

  3. Aftermarket LEDs
    There's nothing wrong with replacing your factory-installed turn signals with LED ones, but you must ensure that the other drivers can see them well. Viewing your turn signals at night and during the day can be more challenging if some people choose form over function.

    Some riders dislike how huge turn lights appear, but you must keep in mind that they are designed in that manner for a purpose. It's essential that other motorists can see where you intend to travel. Inherently smaller and closer to the floor than most vehicles, motorcycles are more prone to collisions when their intended direction is not made obvious.

Conclusion
To ensure you obtain the greatest safety for your motorcycle, ensure that you customize the ride without jeopardizing your safety.
