How To Make The Best Looking Dirt Bike | Dirt Bike Racing

Motocross and enduro bikes can take a bit of a hammering on the tracks and trails. Slides and spills, collisions with other machines, stones, branches and other debris, can all very quickly damage bodywork and other components, making you bike look very secondhand, very quickly

Thankfully motorcycle manufacturers design modern dirt bikes to have, mostly, easily interchangeable parts. Vulnerable bits, like body work and brake covers, are designed to be replaced when damaged. When this happens  - or even when it doesn’t - it's a great opportunity to add your own personal touch to your off-road bike. Be that simply a fresh set of graphics or a full bodykit, or even a set of colour matched braided brake hoses or control cables. 

Here’s a few ways you can quickly and easily put your own stamp on your dirt bike. 

Motorbike Graphics & Plastics

The quickest and easiest way to add your own personal touch to your dirt bike is with decals. From a single sticker to a complete kit, they're an instant way to change the look of a bike, and come in a myriad of options: from make-specific kits, to replica race packs, and even ones you can personalise and design yourself. 

You can go one step further by changing the whole exterior of your bike, with a bodywork kit. Swapping ‘plastics’ like the mudguards, fuel tank cover, radiator guard and brake disc covers can instantly change the shape, colour, and contours of your dirt bike. It’s also a great option for those with older bikes that they want to make look younger. Again, there's a myriad of choices, colours, styles and sets to choose from. 

Frame and engine protectors

Frame and engine protectors are a must for any bike tackling tough off-road trails and tracks, protecting vital parts of the frame and areas like the clutch cover from damage. Quick and easy to swap, and available in various eye-catching shades that can match or contrast with your bike’s paint shame, they are a quick and low cost way to add a splash of colour.  

Dirt Bike Seat Covers 

Dirt bike seats take a bit of a beating, from both the constant movement of the rider, and the amount of cleaning they have to endure; the cover can start to look tired very quickly. Replacement covers - and full seats - not only freshen up the seat’s feel and form, but are also available colour-coded to the standard bodywork or in custom designs. It’s a great way to add splash of colour.  

Specialised Dirt Bike Handguards

Another quick and easy swap or addition, if your dirt bike isn’t fitted with them as standard,  handguards can add an extra bit of colour or change the look of a bike. They can be colour coded to the bike or in a contrasting colour and come in various sizes, styles and designs. They’re also a very practical addition, keeping the hands and controls protected from flying dirt, debris, branches and from contact with other bikers. 

Off-Road Handlebars

Staying with controls, swapping handlebars can add a styling touch and tailor the riding position of an off-road motorcycle. Usually lightweight alloy or steel, handlebars can be either eye-catching shades like gold or silver, or more subtle tones such as black to blend in. Higher, lower, narrower or wider; the possibilities to alter riding position are also almost unlimited - bear in mind you may need to fit longer or shorter cables or hoses to suit your new bars.
