Harley Davidson Accessories Guide — Extreme Weather

If you are looking for Harley Davidson accessories to
protect your bike (and yourself) in extreme weather, there are
some great options for you. Mother Nature can present a threat to your
bike and to your personal well-being, but with the proper preparation
and accessories you can keep her best efforts at bay.

Motorcycle Cover

This is the original “must have” accessory if your Harley Davidson
has to sit out in the elements. Choose a cover that’s water resistant
and heavy enough to survive a beating. Make sure to get one that’s heat
resistant as your bike will surely be warm after riding. You also want
to look for a cover that has a secure system for keeping it in place so
that the wind doesn’t take it away. 

Even if it doesn’t normally stay in
the weather, it’s worth having for those times when you happen to have
it sitting out and a storm comes up out of nowhere. It’s also good to
keep prying eyes and hands off your motorcycle. It’s a good way to make
sure your seat is dry and clean when you get on, too.

Boots

You just can’t ignore Harley Davidson boots. They do a great job of
protecting your feet in good weather conditions, but when the elements
turn nasty, good Harley Davidson boots will also protect you from snow
and cold. As opposed to many other boots out there, Harley Davidson
boots are designed specifically for motorcycle riding. That means they
are built tough and designed to take punishment. One of their purposes
is to protect your feet should you dump your bike. This is another of
the “must have” accessories for riding your Harley Davidson, regardless
of the weather conditions.

Helmet

There are those who are diehards in their opposition to helmets. The
truth is, though, especially in extreme weather a full face helmet will
do the best job of keeping the rain, snow or sleet out of your face.
Even if you are a die hard advocate of sunglasses, if you must be out in
nature’s fury, make sure you have a full faced helmet available.

Face Mask

While a helmet will protect your head in the event of a crash, even
full face helmets allow the cold air to get underneath. When you are
riding at road speeds the wind can really intensify the effects of the
cold. Get yourself an extreme cold face mask and it will help to keep
your face warm.

Jacket

A good leather jacket will help to keep you warm. It will also
protect you from the chilling effects of rain and snow by insulating you
and keeping you dry. Leather jackets are accessories that are very
important in any type of weather. When the elements turn against you,
though, they become even more essential.

Gloves

Leather gloves are very important for protecting your hands from
debris while on the road. When the weather is cold, though, having some
insulation will help to keep your hands warm. If your hands get too cold
it can impair your feeling and that can make your riding skills suffer.
If you add precipitation into the mix, gloves become even more crucial
because they help to ensure you have a better grip.

It takes a special kind of person to enjoy riding their Harley
Davidson in extreme weather. Anyone can get caught out in the elements
when the weather turns quickly, though. Whether extreme weather riding
is your passion or a result of bad luck, you need to be prepared and
there are accessories out there to make sure you are.
