5 Ways to Make Your Used Motorcycle Look Brand New

If you're like most motorcyclists, you take a lot of pride in your bike's appearance. Unfortunately, as a motorcycle starts to accumulate more years of use, it can start to get further and further away from that beautiful, shiny appearance that it had when it was new. The good news is, there are plenty of steps you can take to counteract your bike's aging process, and make it look like that shiny new motorcycle once again. For more information, come see us at our Augusta, Georgia location, also serving Atlanta, Georgia.

1. Get a New Paint Job

It's very common for the paint of a used motorcycle to become dull and faded over time, and that can really worsen the overall aesthetic of the bike. Additionally, scratches and nicks tend to accumulate, even if you're very careful with your motorcycle. However, a new paint job will solve this problem immediately, and just might fool your friends into thinking you went out and purchased a new bike.

2. New Tires & Rims

In many cases, once your bike's tires have taken on a certain amount of wear, there's just no realistic way to have them looking new again. If the tires on your motorcycles are worn-down and ragged looking, and you want to improve the bike's overall appearance, consider investing in a pair of new tires, as well as some shiny new rims.

3. Wash & Wax

It's pretty simple and a bit obvious, but the benefits of a good wash and wax for your motorcycle really can't be overstated. Nothing makes a bike look newer than washing away all of that dirt and grime, and adding a nice new gleam with some wax.

4. Get Rid of Old Accessories

If your motorcycle is still sporting accessories that you purchased years and years ago, whether it's the old, dirty windshield, torn up saddle bags, or frayed tassels, it won't be doing any favors to the bike's overall appearance. To have your ride looking new again, think about getting rid of those old accessories and replacing them with some nicer, newer things.

5. Get New Seat Covers and Grips

The more often you ride your motorcycle, the more wear and tear you're putting on the bike's seat covers and grips. Over time, it's inevitable that they're going to become worn and old looking. Switching them out for new ones can really give new life to your motorcycle's appearance.

Nothing will make you more excited to hit the road than having your used motorcycle looking brand new again, so think about giving these ideas a try. To learn more, visit us at Timms Harley-Davidson of Augusta, located in Augusta, Georgia and also serving Atlanta.
