Do not buy a helmet-mounted AC/cooler because it adds around 1.5kg to your helmet and strains your neck.

Handlebar speakers should be avoided because they disturb other motorists and affect handling. A Bluetooth helmet headset is a better and safer option.

A helmet wiper is completely unnecessary since you can simply reach your visor to wipe water or get a hydrophobic film for the visor

Strobe lights provide no benefit and distract oncoming traffic, and that's why it should be avoided.

Helmet wig is simply not worth it, as it ruins aerodynamics, strains your neck at speed. Also, the adhesive fails over time and ruins your helmet

Freeflow exhausts cause noise pollution, and can do more harm to your engine than improving the performance

There is no justification for installing a loud horn; horns provided by the manufacturers are sufficient for every condition.

Cheap aftermarket alloys are poorly made and might break on bumps or at high speed. Aftermarket wheels should be bought from trusted brands only, and are often not so cheap
