Motorcycle Merchandise

Purchasing motorcycle merchandise can be problematic.  There are so many makes, models, styles, shops and web sites that you have to be somewhat knowledgeable.  This is definitely one of those cases where one size does not fit all. Bikes & bikers are also from all over the country where certain types of equipment are either not allowed or not needed.

When you purchase motorcycle merchandise from your local dealer you’re usually assured of at least getting a part that will fit your make & model.  If you are purchasing a helmet or clothing you do have the advantage of trying it on right then & there.  Internet bike stores are where you find the bargains but you’ll have to wait for your item to arrive and if there are instillation or fit problems you are totally at the mercy of the web store.    I have purchased many items for my bike on line and have had my share of installation and fit problems but I have always managed to get things resolved quickly.  Quickly, in this case, means a few days.  If you’re leaving for a trip in the next couple of days you might want to visit your local dealer. 

Repair & customization parts are generally easy to buy on line just a bit of a pain to install.  Clothing, helmets and boots are probably the hardest because medium isn’t the same from brand to brand.  The easiest motorcycle merchandise to buy are key chains, wallets, mugs, t-shirts, patches and insulting skin care products.  It appears no one has ever taken the bikers skin exposure comfort into consideration.  I haven’t seen a line of lotions, salves, creams or anything else, specifically for bikers, that will help them cope with the elements.

Motorcycle merchandise has always been about bike parts like valves, chains, wheels, handlebars, risers and the like.  It has also been about things to wear like chaps, vests, leather jackets, gloves, etc.  There is even a category for other things like mugs, patches, key chains & t-shirts.  Now someone has come out with a line of skin care products and a sex cream specifically with bikers in mind.  Their products epitomize the new slogan “Sex, Bikes & Rock & Roll”!  The best thing about these products is their crazy names.

It appears we now have new items that we can consider motorcycle merchandise.  They are named in the vein of the motorcycling experience but they actually help protect the cyclist from their worst enemy, the elements.  It is good to see a product that can help with wind & sun burn as well as another that will protect us from the sun without making me smell like a coconut!

Motorcycle Exhaust/Mufflers question. Can you help me out?

I have 1974 Honda CB 550. It has terrible looking, aftermarket, short mufflers on it. I want to change them. I don’t like the original mufflers made for the bike either. I want big chrome Harley Davidson style mufflers. Can I but Harley mufflers and throw them on my bike? I want to buy some on Ebay but I want to shure they will fit. I can’t find out what size I need. Are they adjustable? Thanks, Ed
hay Ed, you will need to measure up the end of the head pipes, the you must match them to Type mufflers you plan to use. you will also need to take into consideration that you will need a collar to seal them( generally a asbestos type seal). you also need to know that any change to the system will most likely require that you re-jet the carbs. if it were me i would go to the Honda shop and buy a set of Kirkers but that is me . anyway good luck whatever you choose:)

What kind of motorcycle or sports bike should a girl get?

i plan on getting a motorcycle or a sports bike, i want a bike that goes fast but not too fast. what brand is suitable for me?
Everyone’s gonna say get a kawasaki ninja 250, which is a great bike to learn on. The number one thing to do is complete the msf course and then from there on see where you stand. OK now when you talk about fast even the ninja 250 is gonna accelerate 0-60 fast than almost any car, and a 600 cc sportbike WILL accelerate 0-60 faster than your corvettes lamboghinis, and maybe even the bugatti. The problem with the ninja 250 is that you’ll get tired of it and want a faster bike sooner than you know. SO I recommend taking the msf and seeing how you do in that. I was the only one in the class who had never ridden before and still got a perfect score. Also I am kind of an adrenaline junky( although I refrain from admitting this to mature people). So I got a 600cc bike. If you’re completely confident on a bike then weigh your options of getting a 600. If you’re short then I definately recommend getting the 250, so you can to learn to handle the weight. I had a friend at work that is a 33 year old strong guy but he’s 5′8” and he dropped his r6 because he had trouble reaching the ground on it. And usually the salesman will try to get u to buy a bigger bike because they make more money. Goood luck. There’s nothing sexier than a girl on a sport bike, be safe and don’t die=). Oh, and I know you talked about brand, but that really isn’t as important as Displacement. which is measured in cubic centimeters. the six bikes you should look at if you’re looking at new bikes are the kawasaki ninja 250, suzuki gs 500, honda cbr 600, kawasaki zx-6r, suzuki gsxr 600, and the yamaha r6. the last for are the fastest, yet basically equal, the only difference would be ergonomic fit.
