How to customize and upgrade your Harley without breaking the bank

There are a number of various hobbies and pastimes in the world that although are able to provide us with entertainment and enjoyment, can also be pretty expensive and can take quite a toll on our bank accounts and personal finances too for that matter. Ever since the worldwide recession a few years ago, it seems as if the cost of living has been increasing day by day, yet unfortunately wages and incomes have stayed firmly where they were several years ago. For these reasons, every penny counts so we can’t always afford expensive luxuries, no matter how much we may desire them. If you happen to own a Harley Davidson motor cycle for example, you will probably have been tempted to customize and upgrade your bike several times in the past, yet when it came to ordering that brand new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) piece of equipment, you simply couldn’t justify spending that amount of money in one go. The good news however, is that there are numerous ways of customizing and upgrading your Harley, without bankrupting yourself in the process. Here are a few examples.

Aftermarket Harley Davidson parts –
If you’re looking to upgrade and customize your Harley, then aftermarket bagger parts for baggers, or simply just Harley Davidson motorcycle parts in general, which have been purchased via aftermarket suppliers, will save you an absolute fortune in the long run. If you own a Harley bagger bike, aftermarket bagger parts can easily be sourced online from trusted and reputable suppliers, can easily be fitted, they cost a fraction of the OEM parts, and they look absolutely fantastic. Harley Davidson motorcycle parts don’t always necessarily have to be expensive, and if you know where to look I.E trusted and reliable Harley Davidson aftermarket specialists, you can achieve the look you want, for a fraction of the cost.

Fit the parts yourself – Ok, say you did manage to find some fantastic aftermarket bagger parts for your Harley for a very reasonable price, one common mistake that people tend to make is to rush to get the parts fitted as quickly as possible, and so will rush out to the first mechanic or garage they can find and get them to fit it. These garages will be all too happy to take your money because for them it is an extremely easy and simple job. Some people often end up paying as much for the labour as they did for the original Harley custom parts. If you happen to have the right tools and feel confident enough to fit the parts yourself, doing so will save you a great deal more cash.

Stickers and graphics –
Another great way of helping to enhance the appearance of your bike, for very little money at all, is to pick up some stickers and graphics for your Harley. You can find a variety of different styles and designs from Harley specialists as well as online, so do some browsing and see if you see something you like.

Chrome mirrors – Many Harleys are painted in that trademark glossy black finish, and they look pretty great it has to be said. Another style and finish that goes great with black, and one that is still very much in fashion on Harleys is a chrome finish. There are a number of Harley custom parts you can source online, but a set of shiny chrome mirrors can really enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bike and can really bring it crashing into the 21st century. They’re not too expensive, are simple to fit, and they work great with pretty much all colours.
