Custom Harley Bagger Parts


There is no better time to tour America than the summer. The weather is beautiful, most companies allow for longer vacation time and prices go down for hotels as there are plenty customers to go around. When you are touring America there is no better way to do it than on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. These custom bikes give you a different and much more surreal vantage point of this beautiful country. Touring motorcycles might be the best Harleys for long trips because they are built to carry more cargo as well as allow for more “rider friendly” use. A touring or “Bagger” motorcycle will have a larger fairing as well.

It is important that you double check the quality of your motorcycle, specifically the parts on it, before you take any long road trips this summer. Have a check list where you go over each part, maybe even having a mechanic take a look at it wouldn’t be a bad idea. This would be especially useful if you haven’t ridden your motorcycle much over the past few months, especially if the weather has been poor. You want to make sure that parts like; handlebars, saddle bags, latch covers, mirrors, hand controls and others are working well. These are the little parts that may not seem like they will break, and admittedly it is more important that your wheels are in great condition than your latch covers, but you will be amazed how much of an issue broken parts can be on a long trip.


This is why you want to check out your Harley weeks before your trip, so that if something does need to be replaced you have plenty of time to find parts to replace them. Beyond your parts checklist you want to make sure you pack everything you need for the trip. This again is why a touring motorcycle is more of a help on longer trips. The saddlebags are bigger and there is more overall storage space on the bike. An added bonus is that bagger parts are not more expensive, you just need ones you probably wouldn’t need if you had a sportster or other type of motorcycle.

Another important tip is to make sure that you have your trip planned. Even if you plan on taking some back roads or a more scenic route, you need to plan accordingly and have a route that you know is reliable or at least know where you are. But in all, it is the freedom we get from riding a Harley that makes us want to take as long a trip as possible. If you are taking a touring Harley Davidson on a long trip you are probably going for the journey as much as you are for the destination. That’s great, but before you go it is important to take the time and examine the bagger parts on your bike to make sure everything on your Harley is in great condition and you are ready for an amazing trip.
