Harley Davidson Accessories, Boots & Clothing

Let's say, hypothetically, that you're the type of person that really likes to keep adding accessories on your bike. Heck, that's why you keep coming back to look at reviews about accessories that you might be somewhat interested in right? What if you ran out of items to install on your ...

There are motorcycle covers, and then there are motorcycle covers. What's the difference, you ask? Well, I've seen "covers" that are made from a 10-year-old bed sheet. Not really going to protect that investment of yours, right? Another common "cover" is the good ol' 10'x10' blue tarp. Sure, it'll keep the rain ...

You know what kind of inventions are the ones that make life easier? The ones that combine necessities together to make life easier. Take the beer bottle opener/key chain for example. The key chain keeps all of your keys in one place, and the beer bottle opener makes it so you ...

Where I come from, there's almost a mandatory law that states that if you don't have stickers or other accessories on your truck or car that states exactly what your political views are, or the brands of vehicles you enjoy, it's weird -- because if you don't have a bumper sticker ...

"Now, Franklin, why don't you tell me where your fixation on license plate frames came from?"

"Well, to be honest, Doc, I don't really know. I mean... my Pops always used to switch out the ol' plate frame on the family Bonneville. Ya know, one month we'd have one that said ...

Before all this GPS being able to get mounted to the handle bar nonsense, the only way I had a map of where I was riding to was by taping a MapQuest printout to the inside of my windshield and hoping that it would stay put. Actually, now that I ...

The evolution of motorcycle apparel has been an interesting thing to witness, especially as I'm just a casual observer. In the past, the only items for safety that were usually made were made for men, because it was something like 1% of the riders out there were women, so not really ...

One of the most bizarre things that I ever saw riding down the freeway was pulling up past a couple on a big touring Harley-Davison and seeing the woman on the back asleep. Not only was I dumbfounded that someone could feel comfortable enough on a bike to catch some ...

No saddle bag is created equal to another. With all the different sizes and materials out there, it can be hard to find the pair that will compliment your bike as well as have all the room you need. These Willie and Max Black Magic Compact Slant Saddlebags ...

"It's not so much of a problem having to deal with helmet hair as it is trying to deal with not being able to ride my bike because of the weather." This was told to me by a seasoned woman rider who I noticed pulling off a Harley-Davidson half helmet after ...

The Sportster Fuel Gauge Kit, made by Harley-Davidson, is designed to give you a little bit of stress relief, because there's nothing like the added frustration of getting just a couple of miles out of town only to start sputtering and run out of gas. After installing this bad boy, ...

The Kuryakyn Informer LED fuel gauge and LED battery gauge replaces your boring gas cap for something that can give you invaluable information, like knowing how much fuel you have and how much juice your battery is pumping.

The fuel gauge has a series of LED bulbs that show you ...

Part of the reason for owning a Harley-Davidson motorcycle is having the ability to bling it up with accessories that help define and separate your bike from the rest of the herd. Though there are several thousand different accessories that will chrome the crap out of your cruiser, ...

The Harley-Davidson Men's/Women's Rain Gaiter Lug Sole is designed to keep you dry during those times when you're out on the road and a mysterious rain storm hits you. Well, actually these will work even in a small sprinkle too. They're compact and can easily fold up and fit into ...

There's a big difference between riding a bike, and riding ON a bike. For those of us who are seldom the passenger, you've probably never really thought of what goes through their minds when you take off at lights or hug the corners through windy roads. I can tell you ...

Repeat this mantra after me: "I will not let the rain keep me off of my motorcycle." Now all you have to do is believe it. Instead of thinking that the rain will keep you off your bike, you should be thinking that you're going to keep the rain ...

Sometimes the most important things in life seem to be the things that you take for granted, like the kinds of T-shirts you have in your closet. Looking at someone's vast collection of "T"-shaped shirts can tell you a lot about them, sometimes better than they can tell you. ...

There can be a lot of prejudice in the motorcycle world. People who ride Hondas tend to buy gear with Honda's name on it, where the same could be said for Harley-Davidsons or Kawasaki. Though, riding jackets all have the same goal in mind, basically saving your skin. If a jacket comes ...

Harley-Davidson puts the same kind of care into sewing up some fabric as they do building a road monster. Which is why, when you buy this sweatshirt for your wife or girlfriend, they'll be sure to shower you with affection. They'll know that you spent the extra time and effort doing ...

Sporting a Harley-Davidson sweatshirt is just another way of expressing the love you have for your bike when you're not out riding it around the city. It can also be a simple way to meet new people who also have Harleys and might even introduce you to new riding partners. ...

Growing up in the Northwest, I've owned my fair share of pullover hoodies. Heck, sometimes that's all you'll find in my closet. Though they're not waterproof, the rain never seems to fully soak through the impenetrable comfort of the hoodie. You can always tell who the transplants are, too, because during the ...

The side stand on your bike is probably one of those things you don't really think about. It's always there, ready to help hold your bike up when you're away. But there is a danger to always relying on this important item, and it's not in the side stand itself, ...

Sometimes it's not enough just to have a way to see behind you on your bike. Sometimes, you've got to add a little personality, or maybe even a little bit of attitude to your beast. If you've seen as many bikes as I have, you start to notice the subtle ...

Part of the love of owning a motorcycle for years is being able to dress it or add a little of your own character to it. I don't think I've known a single person that has truly ridden a bike for an extended period of time and decided to keep ...

Part of the timelessness of Harley-Davidson is the fact that even though technology has made leaps and bounds, Harley bikes dedicate themselves to preserve the feel of the old glorious days of motorcycledom, which is my word for the beginning of the motorcycle revolution. They don't need to put fancy ...

What would Danny Tanner say if he came over and looked at your Harley sitting in the garage with his white glove? Would there be dust and oil, or dirt and grime that he discovers while he slides the perfectly bleached white glove along the chrome pipes and gas tank? ...

With all of the products out there for motorcycles, and even accessories for the accessories that you can get for your motorcycles, it's sometimes hard to think that there is a practical use for them all and feel like you're not just wasting your money on items that aren't really ...

How loud is too loud when it comes to the roar from your monster, which lays quietly in the garage until you disturb her slumber? In most cases, I'd say to let the police or your neighborhood alliance make the call on that. Until then, you should try and ...

"Essential" is a word I would most often use to describe something that is necessary to survive. Water, I think is a good example of something that is essential to everyday life. Food, of course is another essential, as well as a daily dose of laughter. But, it was unbeknownst to ...

What's the worst kind of thief? The one who mugs you in the back alley with a dull Swiss army knife and demands your empty wallet? He may be a little crazy, but I think there are far worse types of thieves. But I know who the most scandalous, heartless, ...

It's hard to deny the fact that more and more women are riding bigger cruisers and sport bikes more than ever. No longer just sticking to the Honda Rebel or the smaller Suzukis, I'm seeing women handle Harleys just as well as their guy counterparts. This is a ...

If you're on a Harley, you've probably got a nice leather jacket and a stylish helmet already. Those seem to go with the whole package. The problem with the leather jacket, though, is that on those really hot days, it's almost like sticking yourself in an oven. If you still want ...

It's that time of year again, finally. It's time to go out to the garage, take the cover off of your ride, pull it out of the garage, and put the ignition key in it. The warmer weather means that fair-weather riders will be getting their rubber on the road, and to ...

Have you been watching the weather forecasts this winter? I mean, it's freaking cold out there. New York was hit with a thunderous blizzard. The Northwest was seeing abnormally low temperatures. It was snowing in Vegas. Well, with all this cold weather around, it kinda just makes me want to find ...

Hang on a second. Listen really closely when you go over that speed bump. Can you hear that scraping sound of your center stand or rear fender hitting the asphalt? Come on, don't even pretend you can't hear it. Everyone behind you and around you can. I know you've checked ...

One of the things that I've learned living in the Northwest is that you never trust a sunny day. There are a couple of reasons, like the rain storm that is just hiding over the mountains to the west, but mostly it's because in the morning it might look ...

My co-worker and I are different in a lot of ways, but if you saw our bikes sitting next to each other, you would be able to tell right off the bat which one of us spends more time tinkering. I typically tend to keep things relatively stock, not ...

Every rider knows that in the right circumstances, heated gear is the bomb.  There are various types of heated gear options including coat, gloves, pants, and socks.  There are even heated sleeves you can attach to your handlebar grips so that if you don't want to ...

This Harley Davidson specific windshield is a nice combination of classic cruiser styling and modern aftermarket convenience. To me, it has a feature that trumps other windshield options.

The styling includes a substantial profile and chrome lateral and vertical support bands. This look fits the timeless lines of the American V-twin. ...

Bolt-on parts are fun. You pick out an after-market option you like, remove the original or previous after-market choice, and bolt on the new. Quick and easy, and all of a sudden your bike takes on a whole new look. You never knew it could ...

There are plenty of bike covers to choose from now that it's bike covering season. Trikes, however, are often neglected the comfort of a well-fitted cover and instead don a frumpy tarp for the winter season. A tarp traps moisture that will contribute to rust and degradation, which is not what you want ...

A few springs ago I went on a long ride with some friends, heading south about 75 miles to take part in a parade. Against all odds in the great Pacific Northwest, it rained buckets the whole way down. When I was just about completely fed up with the rain, ...

Just when you think you can't say anything else about motorcycle mirrors, Willie G goes and does it again. It's easy to over-do with skulls. Too many skulls, skulls that are too big, skulls that are ridiculous, skulls in the shape of kitty heads with bows on them -- yeah. ...

Bikes across the northern parts of the country are spending more and more time sitting still in driveways, garages, parking lots, and the occasional living room. The hazards of sitting may not be quite as high as those of the road, but they're more universal. Wind, dirt, theft, moisture, and moisture's ...

Last year I went riding with my brother-in-law. He had just gotten a used KLR that shook some very important bolts free. He felt a dangerous wobble and pulled over. Fortunately I had my handy-dandy tool kit with me, otherwise he would have been doing a lot of pushing.

A single loose ...

A friend of mine has just finished dishing his own seat. He actually made a mold of his own rear end and then dished a piece of metal to fit his unique posterior. He's yet to add the padding, but says it's the most comfortable seat he's had yet. I'm not about to go ...

Having a backrest is only beneficial if it doesn't cause you more grief than comfort. Passengers don't get the solo rider's benefit of being able to shift around to get comfy. If they do wiggle about, it irritates the person who actually has to control the machine, so a proper rest that you can ...

Hanging onto the throttle for hours on end can really take a toll on a rider's wrists, arms, and even shoulders. And if you have any kind of complication, like carpal tunnel, or arthritis tendonitis, or even a prior injury, then you can find yourself really hurting after a ...

Even when you're in love, there are still things about the object of your affection that you'd like to change. Don't read too much into that... I'm talking about bikes. People name their bikes (mine is Julian), and they spend their hard-earned money and free time customizing them. The bike becomes ...

Cycle Shack has a terrible web site. I don't know if that's how they deliver their slip-fit mufflers so inexpensively, but try not to let the poor web design throw you. They do supply decent OE replacement mufflers for a bargain.

The MLX-130 is advertised by Cycle Shack as having "traditional ...
