The Top Spare Motorcycle Parts to Keep Handy

Harley-Davidson® motorcycles are complex vehicles that require a plethora of parts and accessories to keep them running smoothly. A single part could be the difference between an hours-long cruise down the highway and sitting at home. That's why it's a great idea to maintain a small inventory of replacement parts and accessories so you can safely maintain your bike at all times. We've put together a list of the top spare Harley® motorcycle parts every rider should own, so read below to find out more! Once you know which parts and accessories you need, head down to our gear shop at Antelope Valley Harley-Davidson® in Lancaster, serving Bakersfield and Ridgecrest, CA!

Parts You Can Keep On The Motorcycle 

These are parts you can easily travel with, so we suggest keeping them in the storage compartment of your bike! 

Basic Toolkit

Removing parts with just your hands can be a challenge, that's why we suggest bringing along a spare toolkit filled with screwdrivers and other items that make removing pieces a breeze! 

Headlamp Bulbs

Losing your headlamp during a night drive can be incredibly dangerous. To avoid this safety hazard, we suggest packing a few extra bulbs so that you can quickly replace a dead light and continue riding during the night. 

Extra Fob Batteries 

Since most new motorcycles have keyless ignitions, it's a good idea to keep your fob active at all times. Pack an extra battery in case yours dies during a long road trip! 

Spark Plugs

We've heard plenty of stories of motorcycle spark plugs dying during a long or stressful ride. Be sure to pack a few replacements so you can quickly swap them out and keep your bike running smoothly.
