Motorcycle Accessories for Night-time Rides

Nighttime riding offers excitement and fun for motorcycle riders. The freedom of riding through roads with little to no traffic is exhilarating for any motorbike enthusiast. It’s a great way to de-stress and forget about everything that happened during the day. Staying safe and looking good for your night-time ride can work together, with these accessories:

LED Lights

The most important accessory to have whenever you go on a nighttime ride is LED lights. These high-powered lights illuminate almost everything in sight. Riders see potholes, debris, approaching cars, people, animals, and anything that gets in the way of their motorcycle. Proper lighting also signals approaching cars that you are going to make a turn. There are different designs and sizes of LED lights available on the market.

Nighttime Eyewear

Some riders prefer wearing a helmet without a faceguard. For riders with this kind of preference, wearing goggle or glasses with an amber or clear lens not only makes one look cool, but also improves low-light visibility, protects eyes from incoming light, and improves light contrast. Amber lens or clear lens goggle or glasses are perfect with that leather jacket you just bought.

Motorcycle Reflective Jacket

Wearing a jacket is important whether you are riding at night or during the day. The best kind of jacket to wear while riding at night is a jacket that uses reflective material. Wearing a jacket while riding a motorcycle provides extra protection, maneuverability, and comfort. Choose a jacket that is clearly visible at night. The most common reflective jackets available come in neon colors. Neon colored reflective jackets are easily seen while night riding, but there are other colors that meet different wants and personalities.

Reflective Vest

If wearing neon colored jackets is not your thing, you can opt for a reflective jacket which is more subtle. Reflective vests add protection to any nighttime motorcycle rider. The vest can be your primary or supplementary apparel while nighttime riding.

Riding your motorcycle through the streets at night poses different risks that riding during the day. But with the right kind of accessories, you don’t just say safe, you can look great, too.
