11 MUST HAVE Motorcycle Accessories! 

Seconded + Disclock. Spend the money on good protective gear not the weird stuff on this vid.

I agree with you, these things aren’t needed at all, I like the concept of a HUD but it’s more of a gimmick at this point I could write a list 4 pages long of things I want and need 😂 gets expensive

Can you explain pinlock visor?

@@kris54241 a pin lock visor is an insert that goes inside your helmet visor to create an air barrier that keeps fog out of the helmet and off the visor. Some pin locks are helmet specific, like Shoei. Others are generic. The pinlock brand is highly regarded as the best version.

Frame sliders? You mean my clutch lever and rear blinker? Mine slid across an empty parking lot on those. Stay in school, kids. Don't do wheelies on Harleys. It's an expensive hobby, and money spent on fixing a dropped Harley could have been spent on safer hobbies like doing drugs.

It feels like your statement was made by someone that doesn't ride a motorcycle... or doesn't have a job to afford any of this stuff.

@@baconoverlord7982 what's up with you? The majority of riders cannot afford any of this, many of us are on a budget

@@baconoverlord7982 i say that cause these are some of the dumbest "gadgets" for motorcyclist. They're a cliche.

@@baconoverlord7982 Because it totally makes sense for riders to spend 600+ on a helmet hud instead of 50-80 on just securely mounting your phone to your handlebar. You can get mounts that put it well within your field of vision so you don’t have to look away from the road. And that is only one example from the video. Having a job has nothing to do with it, it’s a complete and utter waste of money. Even if you added all the fancy hands free Bluetooth and other features to that phone mount package with a cardo it’d still be half the price and be equally viable.

@@michaelm.3641 I just stopped watching when the first thing that he showed was a friggin HUD for your helmet. I mean that has to be the worst possible gadget to get that I can imagine. Something that clogs your field of view and distracts you. No sane motorcyclist would get this. Jose is absolutely right in his statement. And as you say, having a phone on your mount is both cheaper and better.

Fortnine did a video reviewing the different air-bag vests available, including costs and re-use, replace.

If you can afford a 5k motorcycle then you can afford these

none of these are must haves and all of these have far better solusion that are cheaper excpet the vest if you want procteion you spend the big bucks cell phone on a ram mount covers like 75% of these gopro solves the other 25 cause you can track gopros nowdays

@@steve00alt70 Right now, my $1400 bike that I purchased in 2005 with an income tax refund because I could not find a car I could afford, is sitting in the parking lot of my apartment complex. The bike needs a new ignition that I can't afford right now because I have other bills to pay. It's a good thing that I live in a place with public transportation because I'll be on the bus for the next two weeks. See, having a tax refund of $1400 back in 2005 does not mean that I currently have stacks of cash laying around. Money just doesn't work that way.

Same

No no first must have is money to buy a bike

Pretty sure you forgot mind-altering drugs... for your list.

Stop using Fossil fuels we are destroying the Planet

And a condom for any case

My bike has ‘spirit of a free human being’ as a preset rider mode. It won’t switch on unless you’re wearing a bandanna.

especially adding more lights for better 'visability' Cars won't see you because of unintentional blindness, more lights doesn't help the situation, driving habits do

More like a bunch of stuff we got paid to put into a thinly disguised promo video.

but you don't need and can't afford

11 things that don't really work an you won't use

11 kickstarter gadgets that have gone nowhere.

🔥yuy

yes you are correct

Yea. Some are things that I need but some it's ok for not to have

I agree with you except for the fobo. I have it and "need-ish" it lol

About 70% of these are honestly pointless. The computer helmet would be unbearably hot in traffic, and anything lighting up on your body like that is an unneeded distraction.

And you need a car after that lol

Not really, A Hud provides useful information without you having to remove your attention from hazards. You are 100% correct about talking on the phone while riding though, just don't do it.

Well said

Survivor bias

@@DonaldMohrMusic Survivor ? Its not war its just riding a motorcycle. Its attitude that kills more than anything thats why accident percentage wise women are safer riders than men . They think consequence,too many men have a Im an expert attitude

been riding 40 years, africa, asia , europe... never needed any of these

@@Lee-70ish survivor bias is a logical fallacy. it describes the problem with the "well I never had a problem with/without ________"

back then didnt have people driving around staring at a phone instead of the road lol

@Chris Reagin right lmao. The phone thing is stupid but some of these are pretty cool.

@@fuckthepopulation8109 Actually I agree to this some of them were scrap but the riding jacket and rear light was the best among the lot

@Chris Reagin that air vest will do very little.

The phone thing is not bad aswell, having your speed, rpm and other dash information at eye level is a good thing, but of course if you start making phone call and listen to music, it's différent

@@ChaoticMartian That is so wrong of you to say, many riders, me included, have crashed with a Helite airbag vest and without a doubt it saved my life in the one time I did have an accident, that thing is crazy strong and immobilizes your neck and helmet. without a doubt Helite is one of the most if not the most important necessity for a rider after a helmet of course.

I did 200 km, never had skid plate except for off-road and never had issue.

do you have research to back those claims up?

Gear/protection is not an accessory, it's an essential. ;-) The rest, except no.5, are just something you'd need on an off-road bike as you can't even mount them on sportbikes.

How about simply turn your head and use mirrors?

No, you need to work first and collect the salary to buy one

@@arifhakimi7224 kind of a pointless remark kid.

He ment all he needs is the bike not all the aftermarket gadgets.

Felt it

@@arifhakimi7224 or just still one

U are soo poor😢😢😢

@@jdvlogs6235 Ur name is Rahul sounds gay for me

Depends on how you are using your bike. For shirt travels within city it's fine. But what if you need to travel around the country for some road tour. The uncertainties are too high for an ordinary stock bike to help us with

@@jdvlogs6235 look at your haircut buddy😂

What's the battery life of the gizmos?

@@ctrlaltdelete200390 Well this comment is 9 months old and it's still going. I'm guessing it has the same battery life as a watch battery since that's what it takes.

I bought Fobo bike 2 because of this video too. I agree with you. Wish I could customize it a bit more. Realized early on that I need to logout each time I stop riding because the program runs constantly in the background and is a drain on my cellphone battery. It's super convenient to check tire pressures. Never need to remove the stem caps. Just login on my phone and stand near my bike. Instant pressure readings. :-)

I bought cheap aliexpress things that were similar. Invaluable. Long battery life. Life on the commute got way easier. No more air leakage catching you off guard.

​@@michiganborn8303 Well maybe stupid question. But doesnt it disbalance your wheel because of its "weight"? After all, ordinary cups weight nothing.

Agree. Riding a motorcycle is about escape not distractions

Yep!!

My must have at all times is cameras. Be it GoPro or other. I was sandwiched between a Honda and a Jeep in a hit and run a couple years ago and ever since then, ive always had some form of video device on my bike or helmet.

It also adds upwards of 200g to your helmet, with the bulk being at the back making it both straining and uncomfortable.

The more people buy, the less it'll cost. Production cost to demand usually drives the price up or down. So buy one, and have all your friends buy one, so one day I can get it for less. Lol

@@MrKinghuman yeah, it’s going to need another planet to pump demand up enough to drop the price via scaling. Chances are any spikes in demand will result in raised prices for the foreseeable future

@@MrKinghuman yea. I don’t think cost to demand works like that. As long as people are willing to pay top dollar, companies won’t lower their price.

@@getrippt it dosent work its trash

@justan idiot Yes and a saddle is also nice ofc.

the accessory is a significant other on the pillion

What gives it away is that the dual intercom and cameras are trash, let alone the HUD for helmets complete trash as well but these sure sound like cool ideas

The helite airbag is actually legit.

@Carreidas yeah I like those and am actually getting one for this coming riding season but overall list was very uneducated in terms of product performance beyond what they advertise the products as

the most useful thing in the whole video, the dynamoto bike stands, isn't even to be found anywhere..

Absolutely right...

"Price tag" - Jessie J

The jury is out for me on an airbag. I have been riding since the early 80's crashed many times (enough to loose count). At least 3 times over 100 mph (on a racetrack). No such thing as an air bag back then, pretty thin 2nd or maybe 3rd hand Bates leathers with no armor for the first crash. And for the second another thin set of Vanson leathers. The crashes consumed those thin leathers but not my skin! And the for the third fast crash a much thicker set of Z Custom leathers with armor and a back protector for the third. I have also had numerous street crashes including being rear ended on the freeway at 55 MPH (wearing jeans and a nylon jacket, not even a scratch . . a miracle . . actually I think I surfed the bike for a bit and rolled out of it to stop on my feet). They say off-road is safer . . guess again . . no rules out there, in the dirt I had a head on collision (me on a 2000 CR250) with a VW dune buggy both going 45 mph at impact. . . . Ouch! but no broken bones ever. But I can say with the back protector on the 100 mph crash, and this is the original Dainese protector, so anything on the market now is better than that. With that protector it was downright comfy sliding along up and over turn 6 at Willow Springs. I have never been injured in the area that the airbag covers . . . except maybe with the head-on with the dune buggy it would have worked nice there. . . but so did the cheapest chest-back-roost protector from cyclegear (nothing broken despite ejecting and flying 30 feet onto my head / back . . u but it did hurt really bad!). Leather was enough for all my road crashes (std mx gear for the dirt crash). . . . That doesn't mean it can't happen a different way next time for me or completely different for you . . . but once I'm on the ground I have my techniques and tendencies so I am willing to take that risk with the equipment I have since it has served me well and has been fully tested. I have hit my head hard enough to see static and have demolished numerous sets of gloves so I tend to make sure those bases are covered with the best I can get my hands on. That and protect your extremities that can flail around and slap the ground hard . . .hands, knees, elbows and feet . . . at least that's what gets torn up on me nearly every time I crash . . No airbag helmet, gloves, knee, elbow or ankle protection yet. . . . which is why the jury is out for me.

Genuine question: Is a Garmin device better than using Google maps on a smartphone? If so, how?

Hi , I find the Garmin system works no matter where I am so long as it can register the satellite network (so long as I’m not under metal roofs) also it has my topographical map card in it. Cheers.

@@sn5953 Also if you lose the Garmin or get in an accident in the middle of nowhere you're not stranded!

It’s only a selling point to people who don’t ride motorcycles lol

bicycle-r ahahah

legs and arms need more protection than torso most bike injuries are to limbs

Or not

You don't need any of those.

@@rudolfmajcen5349 wonder how many lives could have been saved with the jacket. Problem is they expensive.

Please don't encourage these people anymore than necessary. They just do it to get attention and brag about all this expensive tech they have.

oui mais surement pas le cosmo qui ne fonctionne absolument pas en mode "feu stop" et ne tient pas assez la charge en mode feu rouge. testé 15 jours et renvoyé

@@vguedouani Merci pour l'info 😁😁😁

Yup. LIGHTS and Stuff to make you VISIBLE are Definitely THE most important thing. I got into a bike accident over 30 years ago from an idiot unlicensed driver taking daddies car out for a joyride and blew through a stop sign at 40mph. Still have back muscle cramps from it to this day despite working out, stretching, massage therapy, etc. As a drive I've seen how small bikes are even when close. Today I ride my Ebike and I have six headlights, two tail lights with one fast flasher on and numerous large pieces of reflective tape on the front forks, rear and side frames of my ebike., I wear a DayGlo reflective vest, helmet and gloves and I hit the horn for everything and of course ALWAYS ASSUME a driver does NOT see you. Hell I've had drivers coming right at me even while flashing my high beam right at then and hitting my Loud 120DB motorcycle 12v Horn I adapted for my ebike and STILL they barely swerved 7 feet from me. People are just MENTALLY looking for BIG objects like Cars and even with Dayglo stuff, Bright LED lights, etc... you still have to constantly watch out.. though I've found that people overall now give me a WIDE birth when I'm passing. In fact many are Afraid to pass me even when I'm hugging the curb on my bike until I Wave them past. If I ever get another Motorcycle I'd jazz it up the Same way with MORE lights, Reflective tape all over and wear my Dayglo colors, Body armor etc.. If I had Armor back in the day My Back would be fine right now.

That’s what they say in most cases. If more motorcyclist were aware of the fact that most of us are struck by cars that are turning left, we might prevent some accidents by riding cautiously through intersections. I see so many of my fellow motorcyclist that ride obliviously through intersections or do not pay attention to cars at t-intersections. Ride safe my friends.

I would not splice into the ignition. Bad idea. Mess that wire you're in trouble. Instead use a powered relay and tap into the rear break light power wire, so when the bike powers the light (aka ON) then the device is powered.

Dont forget a popcorn maker

Why not an "Ashtray" to?

Vibrates your phone to death though

i swear..if u wanna make a call while riding pull over to safely thats what should be done

@@Vishakh1733 Opinion on music When riding? Gonna be getting motorcycle later on. First time rider and wondering thoughts on listening to music while riding, later on down the road once i been riding for while.

how are phonecalls different to intercom?

So which accessory, in the video, exactly makes a motorcycle safer???

So motorcycles are always going to be more dangerous. There is nothing that can be done about that. I just think it's cool to see technology advancing. This guy was getting a lot of hate from people in the comments, I just wanted to help his day. :) There is some tech like abs and things that helps with motorcycles. Have a great day

@@rudolfmajcen5349 Airbag vest, Light shoes.

@@rudolfmajcen5349 well if i hit the ground i would rather have the inflating vest on the not, and no i dont own one, yet.

i feel ya my man. i feel ya

Or having a bike 😄

And a great knowledge of curse words

Lol nice

Yeah, just stop in the side of the road, check the map and go ahead again

@@n0b0dy07 What did people do before smart phones / GPS / internet I agree with you

I could see using the airbag many times doing motocross. The frequency of falling off would be much higher.

I can't find it.... it's not a thing yet...

That is, in fact, a fun fact. Well done :).

Ah, but did you find that fun fact while googling at highway speeds?

Fun fact I dont give a shit, neither do they , cause there are no flowers that high!

True and the added weight on the valve at speed will cause to leak your tyre anyway, that's why they tell you not to use LED lit caps.

@@will4may175 so what would you guys recommend?

I could be wrong, but I bet that the manufacturer thought of that. Ya know?🤔

@@dixiekayaker805 If that were the case this product wouldn't exist. Maybe if it replaced the entire stem it could be OK. Then the seal isn't the cap. It would still be prone to damage and the weight may fatigue a rubber stem causing premature failure though. Fundamentally it is a bad design when it can instead just be placed in the tire where protected and doesn't risk leaking, or problems with the stem.

@@freshsodaa7023 If you really want tmps on a motorcycle get one that is in the tire. It isn't that hard to pop the tire off the bead and insert it. I would guess that you can do it without taking the tire off as well. It is going to mess up your wheel balance though, and IMO doesn't really increase safety unless factory installed. Maybe you could put a bead locker on the opposite side to help balance it. This one relies on bluetooth, which means it must be on, it must connect (which I have enough troubles with headphones, let alone a safety device), the app has to be running in the background draining battery, when it indicates you have to somehow notice it on a generally loud vehicle and if it does tell you the pressure is dropping it would have to be a slow leak to be able to react in enough time. The times I have had a flat on a motorcycle it was always a puncture by nail or screw. The tire deflates somewhat slowly and starts feeling mushy, ie it feels/handles wrong. This causes you to look down and see the flat. There are just too many things that have to go right for these devices to help, so I cannot see the value. If flats were the big concern, I would foam fill the tire. That probably isn't done on high speed bikes though as it likely messes up the way the tire rebounds.

Prices vary by country and retailer. Duh.

If you have to ask... you can't afford it. 🤑

I was thinking the same thing :). Still, they are great for moving your bike in your garage. A baseball bat is great for smashing someone's skull in, but they're also great for playing baseball.

Good thinking :o

You wouldn't use these in situations where theft is a possibility, they are really convenient to put your bike into a storage area with tight corners

@@Robin-ox2mz think about it instead of lifting the heavy bike and put it in the van they use this. Also there are a lot of people who own bikes think by locking the front fork prevents theft 😆

@@kings8217 oh yeah its a good tool for thieves too, for sure. Nothing can protect your bike if the thief has enough time, no matter how secure it is. Just locking front is bypassed in seconds, no need for a van a simple tool is enough.

'Literally the perfect way'? That's as opposed to figuratively the perfect way, is it? Moron.

Well... its the UK so not much is legal. Its a bit of a nanny state.
