About Me
About this site

This page lists the products or accessories which you can get for you motorcycle.  For the revamp of this page I have tried to satisfy as many visitors as possible in terms of assisting people with finding that 'magic' product that makes bike ownership a more enjoyable place to be.

Some of the products are ones I recommended by myself as I use them and others by friends and associates.  Latest news: Thanks to Amazon.com I've been allowed to set up a various links to the stuff which bought.  Regardless of what you might think it is good for price comparisons apart from anything else!

Misc accessories

Hayabusa models & toys - Motorcycle models: For those who want their Hayabusa on the shelf there are now models available. Maisto Inc. makes a fully assembled   1:18 scale (Special edition) Copper/Bronze colour only.  I don't think they make them any longer but give them a try.  Tamiya and a few other now make them too!

Accurate speedometer (Instrument cluster ?) - There aren't too many ways of accurately measuring speed quickly and at a glance on a bike.  All speedos regardless of what they are in eg. car, boat, plane are not 100% accurate.  The accepted accurate is 95% over or number !  My solution for the car or bike is this: Uniden GPS301 Review or Tom Tom One.

Cleaning accessories

Mr Sheen.
Over the years I found this the best product for cleaning your motorcycles. This is the cheapest and simplest thing to use especially on painted fairings.  Leaves a nice glossy surface, however it doesn't last if is rained on.  Perfect for cleaning the rims !  Does the rubber bits too, like that rubber thing on the mirror stalks.  Mind you the usual 'plastic and rubber protectant' for car dashes work just as for the stalks.  Try this first before using any other cleaning product.

JIF - Household cleaner.
How to clean alloy wheels on a motorcycle? - believe it or not householder cleaners are pretty good on cars and bikes.  This week I had the problem of cleaning off brake and road grime of a set of alloys wheels.  They hadn't been cleaned for at least 10 years.  I tried everything including some CRC products and other brand name wheel cleaners.  They had no or very minimal effect what so ever much to my disappointment.  In desperation I tried Jif and WOW - with a little scrubbing it actually and noticeably worked.  (Not for fairings!)

Plexus - Plastic cleaner Protectant & Polish.
I'm sure everyone knows the heartache of seeing your Hayabusa's plastics deteriorate.  Hence to prevent and fix all those fine scratches try this product.   The front screen of my bike was looking a tad sad.  I used this stuff and now it looks almost new.  It doesn't do the really deep scratches but on the smaller ones it works perfectly - quite amazing stuff.

McGuire's wax and polish.
This cleaning system produces the best results I've ever seen.  Produces a fantastic gloss.  Special ingredient is Carbonra Wax.  Polish does not scratch the paint if surface is prepared properly.  But remember you don't really need to polish if the paint work is in good condition - just waxing will do.  Likewise on a new bike waxing is all that is needed for the next few years.

Specific Hayabusa accessories

Hard Luggage - Panniers.
Enable your Hayabusa to carry hard luggage or a multimedia package.  Check out the GIVI site.

The kit contains even longer hero blobs as the stand reduces cornering clearance.  The winged belly pan attachment also has to be removed.   The bike is raised a fair distance and if you are normal in height you may find it a tad difficult getting the bike off the stand !

Motorcycle covers

A lot of us need a decent motorcycle cover for our Hayabusa. It's a large bike so get the one that covers down to the wheels.  Consider getting a lined version, that is one with a soft layer underneath.  I've had both and personally there's not much difference.  Some say unlined version will scratch the bike I say if you're concerned just put down a towel first.  Regardless which type depends on how much you want to spend.

For Hayabusa owners I chose the Rjays BC5 - Large which is a non-descript grey thing with a lined interior.  Covers the bike perfectly.

General Motorcycle accessories

Rhino Car alarm.
Cheap, easy to install system 2 wire !.  Can be attached to a ignition cut-out.   Current sensing and in built multiple level shock sensor.  Of course use it in conjunction with a wheel or disc lock.  I use it when minimal security only required Ie. hearing distance. Read more about Motorcycle security.

Maxima Chain Wax.
Made in the USA it says it has a special formula Paraffin Wax.  Lube is required every about 600-700kms.  Darwin is a pretty hot place and this lube seems to last the longest.  Other brands tried PJ1.

EQUUS ECU code readers.
I don't know if this works for motorcycles but I know it definitely works for cars!  If your FI warning light come on you certainly want to know what's wrong.  The link to the best value ECU code reader I could find. Pls email if you've successfully got it to work on your motorcycle -Thanks.

Misc and tank guards

Tank guards.
There are so many of these things that have been released over the years that I don't really have to say much.  However those new to motorcycles this is an essential accessory if you want to keep your tank scratch free.  Plastic or carbon fibre take your pick!

Light guards.
I personally recommend the Ventura - Light guard because it's saved me replacing the head light cover several times over the years of not just the Hayabusa but any number of other bikes.
