Motorcycle Accessories

Motorcycle tires come in several varieties: off-road, sport, touring, sport touring, track and sport street. Off-road tires are constructed to withstand rough terrain such as gravel and mud. Performance sport tires are built to have a stronger grip than other tires. Touring tires are built for durability and cruising while sport touring tires work on country roads. Track tires, also known as "slicks", are used in motorcycle racing. However, sport street tires have more traction and are used by street riders.

Tire rims are another motorcycle accessory. They can either be solid or spoke. Solid rims are constructed from one metal casting. However, spoke rims are made from interlaced metal spokes.http://www.motorcycleparts-accessories-andmore.com/motorcyclerims.html
