Motorcycle & Powersports

For riders: chain lube, cleaners and brushes, paddock stands, waterproof covers, disc locks and chains, helmet and visor care, tank bags and tail packs, phone mounts, heated grips, battery tenders and the small maintenance items that keep a bike on the road through a wet British year.

What to look for: a chain lube matched to your chain type (O-ring/X-ring safe); a cover with vents and a soft lining so moisture does not sit on the tank; a lock that carries a Sold Secure Gold or Thatcham rating if your insurer asks for one; and a battery tender rather than a plain charger for winter lay-up. Anything fitted near the exhaust should state a heat rating.
