3 Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Bike with RC Components

Jul 21st 2016

Now that you’ve been riding your bike around town for a few months, you may notice some performance issues with your factory parts. Why not change them out and start customizing your ride so you can better enjoy your weekend cruises down the highway and backcountry roads? Today, we’ll look at three simple ways to upgrade your bike and improve your ride’s performance.

Upgrade the Wheels

Factory wheels are often incredibly heavy. While this can result in a smooth ride, it can also slow your bike down. Adding our custom motorcycle wheels will let you upgrade your look. All of our wheels are produced in-house and plated in high quality chrome or sleek black powdercoat. Our custom wheels provide you with excellent ride without adding unnecessary weight and drag to your bike.

Change Your Exhaust and Fuel Management System

Factory parts are not designed to give you the best performance possible. They’re designed to meet the requirements outlined by the manufacturer. Upgrading your exhaust system will increase your horsepower, and replacing your fuel management system will make your engine more efficient, letting you go on longer, faster rides, without burning more fuel than necessary.

Get the Right Accessories

While factory grips may be fine for short rides, you’ll want something a bit more comfortable for long cruising sessions. Look for grips that are cushioned to minimize the vibration your hands feel on the road. If you’re going on long treks, consider adding saddlebags with our custom latches to make hauling gear easy.
