Night driving or riding is highly risky, not just because the roads are less populated and help isn’t as readily available unlike the day time, but also because visibility drops drastically which amplifies the risks and chances of an accident.
The best thing to do in such case is to modify your motorcycle with such gadgets and accessories which make it more visible for others. So in the article below we short list some bike accessories which will make you and your bike more visible to other vehicles on the road.
1. Reflective Rim Tapes
Reflective rim tapes, as the name says, are taped to the tip of the motorcycle wheel. These are very common in motorcycle aftermarket and can be bought at a very reasonable price. These tapes reflect the direct oncoming lights and hence make the motorcycle and the rider fairly more visible. It is always advisable to use reflective rim tapes if you ride more often at night.

4. Aftermarket LED headlights
Stock headlights sometimes may not be very effective and hence not provide the best illumination when the day light goes down. The solution is thus to equip the motorcycle with aftermarket LED supporting lights which light up the front view by as much as 50%. Thus potholes and broken tarmac are more visible which adds to the overall safety at night.
Also, the brighter the lights are, more visible your motorcycle will be.

5. Additional tip: Wear reflective vests
Reflective vests make the rider more visible during dark hours. These vests are best used as an external layer on riding jackets and work by reflecting lights which strikes on them. These are available in abundance in the market place. These reflective tapes and vests can also be used to cover luggage which further enhances visibility factor.
