Anti-theft devices add a layer of security - these range from simple wheel/disc locks to full GPS-based tracking systems.
A dash cam records real-time footage that can serve as crucial evidence in case of an accident, dispute, or insurance claims.
A phone mount can allow you to use your phone as a navigation display
Some phone mounts also include a USB charging port or wireless charging to keep the phone from running out of battery.
Comfort accessories like aftermarket windshields, handlebar grips, seat cushions, and pillion backrests improve comfort on long rides for both rider and pillion.
Storage bags/boxes like saddle/pannier bags, tank/tail bags, and top boxes are useful since most bikes lack built-in storage, unlike scooters.
A helmet Bluetooth intercom is useful, especially for group riders, letting them communicate even where the phone network is weak.
A basic toolkit can help riders handle small issues like loose bolts/wires and flat tyres without needing a workshop or mechanic.
Recommended toolkit items include an allen key/socket wrench set, screwdriver, pliers, puncture repair kit, duct/electric tape, and a multipurpose pocket knife.
