A MOTORS genius has revealed ten motorcycle mods that can upgrade your bike as he shouted “I’m a big fan of this gamechanger”.
YouTuber FortNine took to the platform to share game-changing tips.
MOBILE MIRRORS
Broken mirrors are a common concern among bicycle enthusiasts, especially off-road cyclists.
FortNine says, “When you go off road too much, they’re just disposable.”
But luckily, he found a “terribly effective” solution in the form of Doubletake indestructible motorcycle mirrors with RAM mounting components.
The mirror’s hinges being on a bracket means it can take “a good knock” and also “swivel out of the way.”
LIGHTWEIGHT BATTERY
FortNine’s next The trick is to lose weight from the bike’s center of gravity and says riders should be “salivating at the performance gains”.
He suggests buying a lithium battery that is “one-fifth the weight” of the battery that comes with most bikes.
They are also “half the size and easier to fit onto custom bikes.”
DIFFERENT ROUNDS
Typically, the driver must choose between steel or aluminum sprockets, but FortNine reveals that Moose dual rear sprockets are the best option.
“Less weight for the engine to spin means more power,” he said.
He added: “The game changer is having lightweight aluminum on the inside and strong steel on the outside for use in the chain.”
WATER FILTRATION
Sawyer Mini Water filtration will allow you to safely drink from the nearest stream, according to the YouTuber.
He said the filter is good enough to stop almost anything and “should last up to 100,000 gallons, meaning you can purify all your daily drinking water while driving.”
DIGITAL PANELS
The next way to upgrade your motorcycle is through a TrailTech Digital Dashboard.
FortNine said most new bikes come with a fancy dashboard, but “anyone on an older machine is getting tired of looking at the ravages of time.
“TrailTech makes tiny gauges to replace the stock setup on any bike.”
SEAT HEATING
“If you’re looking for a heated seat, you’re looking at a £30,000 motorcycle,” says the YouTuber before adding: “Not quite.”
“Saddlemen makes a universal kit that will turn your rusty piece of shit into a Lux tourist spa.”
He adds: “The element is located under the seat cover and is made of carbon fiber so that heat distribution is even.”
SECURITY SYSTEM
FortNine’s latest luxury mod is the Scorpio SRX-950 hands-free security system.
“You can add this to any bike for a few hundred dollars and it will rival the system on a $30,000 motorcycle.”
RISERS
FortNine believes you need this feature for “basic comfort” while driving.
He says the Rox risers are “the biggest thing you can do to tune your bike.”
He adds, “The stock bars just tilt back and forth, the rRx risers fill the stock clamp and hold the bar above, so now I have two pivot points.”
WARM HANDS
To prevent your hands from freezing in winter, FortNine recommends the Givi Universal Semi-Rigid Hand Cover.
He says, “I’ve used these on snowmobiles in the past and, boy, do they keep your fingers warm. Anything that looks this silly should work just fine.”
TIRES
The last tip given by the petrolhead is to invest in Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross AX41 tires.
This is a “cosmetic” mod that can replace “flat donut” tires.
“This was designed as a scrambler tire that looks wild,” he says, but added that it is actually a medium tire and is available in medium sizes, meaning anyone can “install a set and start turning heads.” .
