Harley Davidson Accessories FAQ's
What are the must-have accessories for a new Harley?The "must-haves" are all about making the bike yours. For most riders, this starts with comfort: a
new seat and
handlebars or grips that fit you perfectly. After that, a
sissy bar or
luggage rack for carrying gear and a
fresh exhaust for that signature Harley sound are at the top of the list.
How do I know if an accessory will fit my Harley model?The best way to know if an accessory will fit is to use the "Fit My Bike" filter on J&P Cycles. Harley models, like a Sportster and a Street Glide, use very different parts. Always check the exact model and year to ensure the most precise results. Still have questions?

What's the point of adding engine guards or highway bars?Engine guards (or crash bars) are a great investment for two big reasons. First, they protect your engine and leg in a low-speed tip-over, saving you from expensive repairs. Second, they're the perfect place to mount
highway pegs, giving you a second foot position to stretch out on long rides.
What's the difference between OEM and aftermarket Harley accessories?OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) accessories are the official parts from Harley-Davidson. Aftermarket accessories are made by other brands (like
Kuryakyn,
Arlen Ness, or
J&P's own house brands). Aftermarket parts often give you a wider range of styles, features, and price points to choose from.
