And, if you’re considering upgrading to a new bike before your next trip, visit our dealership to explore a few models in person. Biggs Harley-Davidson is in San Marcos, CA, and we’re happy to welcome our customers from San Diego and Oceanside, so reach out today.
1. GPS Unit
You’ll want to explore new places with your touring motorcycle. Though the unfamiliarity of the route might sound thrilling, you’ll want to ensure your safety, too. That’s why we recommend having a tracking device to help you stay safe and find your way to your destination without any difficulties.
A motorcycle-specific GPS unit ensures you reach your destination without having to ask for directions, even when you’re out of cellphone range. These motorcycle accessories are rugged, waterproof, and glove-friendly, making it easy for you to install and use during your long-distance trips. If you want, you can pick a GPS unit with voice-guided navigation via Bluetooth®.
2. Bluetooth® Helmet Communicator
Another accessory you’ll want for your Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle is a Bluetooth®-enabled helmet communicator. This piece of gear helps you relax by playing your favorite music tracks while you ride. To use this accessory, just fit it inside your helmet, and you’re ready to play music or hear GPS navigation commands when traveling.
3. Flat Repair Kit
Even after tuning your touring motorcycle before undertaking a long-distance trip, you might encounter various issues on the road—a flat tire is one of them. That’s why you’ll want to prepare yourself for the unexpected by having a handy flat repair kit with you on your bike.
This compact and lightweight kit will help you fix cuts and punctures so you can safely use your motorcycle to get to a repair shop. The best part of using these kits is that they work perfectly on both tube and tubeless tires.
4. Rain Suit
Rain can ruin a long-distance trip. It can delay your journey and even make you cold or, worse still, cause you to fall ill. To prevent this, you’ll want to bring along a rain suit to stay safe, at least until you find someplace to take shelter. It’ll be a good idea to invest in a good quality rain suit and remain prepared for unexpected weather.
You can consider buying a one-piece or two-piece suit in bright colors to ensure other motorists on the road can see you, even when visibility is low. You can also get a pair of slip-on rain boot covers and waterproof gloves to keep your feet and hands dry.
We hope this guide helps you find out the accessories you’ll want to purchase before your next long-distance outing.
