Track-Inspired Motorcycle Accessories: Upgrade Your Ride with Performance Parts
If you’re a serious rider looking to get the most out of your bike, track-inspired motorcycle accessories are a must. At Bike-Shop.com.au, we offer premium parts designed to improve your bike’s performance, handling, safety, and aesthetics—perfect for track days, spirited rides, or simply making your bike race-ready.
From grips and sprockets to rearsets and crash protection, here’s a complete guide to track-inspired motorcycle upgrades.
Premium Motorcycle Grips for Maximum Control
Your connection to your bike starts with your hands. Upgrading your Grips provides superior traction and comfort, reducing hand fatigue during long rides or aggressive riding. Grips come with many different patterns which can cater to different riding styles. Generally racing motorcycle grips are typically thinner which allows for better feedback and control, however they are also softer allowing for a better feel, while road motorcycle grips are often thicker to absorb more vibration for rider comfort over long distances, which also allow them to last longer.
For riders who experience hand numbness or discomfort during high-intensity track riding, adding bar-end weights can make a noticeable difference.
Bar-end weights help reduce the small vibrations that travel through the handlebars when the bike is at high revs. By minimising these micro-vibrations, they improve comfort, reduce fatigue, and allow you to ride longer and more confidently without discomfort. Below you will notice that Evotech performance offers 3 styles of bar-end weights.
Whether it’s for track days or spirited street riding, upgraded grips paired with bar-end weights are an essential upgrade for better control, comfort, and safety. Hearing it from our customers
Optimised Chain and Sprocket Upgrades
A smooth, reliable drivetrain is key to high-performance riding. Upgrading your chain and sprockets with brands like JT Sprockets ensures better power delivery, durability, efficiency and weight reduction.
JT Steel Sprockets VS JT Alloy Sprockets
- Alloy Sprockets: Lightweight and ideal for track performance, lighter on brakes, improved acceleration.
- Steel Sprockets: Comes on most bikes from factory - Durable and long-lasting, better for street riding
Sprocket calculators are a great tool to utilise when trying to determine sprocket sizes allowing you to maximise your bottom or top end gains.
Mirror and Tail Block-Off Kits
For track use, mirrors and pillion pegs are unnecessary. Gilles Tooling and Evotech Performance offer mirror and tail block-off kits that streamline your bike’s profile while giving it a race-ready aesthetic. These kits also help reduce weight and improve aerodynamics, giving you the edge that you need when pushing these machines to the limit.
Adjustable Rearsets
Track performance is all about ergonomics. DBK and Gilles Tooling carry Adjustable rearsets which allow riders to customize their foot controls for comfort and precision during aggressive cornering. Ensuring you can switch gears and access the rear brake as quickly as possible without having to do big shifts in foot positioning, saving you milliseconds, critical for any high performing racers. The Gilles Tooling MUE2's provide superior grip and quickly accessible adjustability.
Clip-On Handlebars
For bikes that don’t come with factory clip-ons, adding clip-on handlebars improves control by transferring more weights over the front wheel and replicates a true race position. Barracuda, DBK special parts and Gilles tooling offer clip-on handlebars for those looking to achieve a more aggressive riding position. With Increased adjustability, riders can now fine tune their hand controls to match their riding style.
Lever Guards
Close-contact racing requires safety. Lever guards protect brake and clutch levers during tight track riding, preventing accidental engagement. Evotech performance, DBK and Gilles tooling provide lever protectors depending on the style you are going for.
Adjustable Levers
Meanwhile, adjustable brake and clutch levers allow riders to fine-tune reach and responsiveness for their preferred setup, just another small consideration that will go a long way when piloting these machines at high speeds.
Pillion Foot Peg Delete Kits
Pillion pegs are unnecessary on the track. DBK and Evotech Performance provide foot peg delete kits that reduce weight, clean up the bike’s appearance, and give it a more aggressive stance and finished look. Cheap and easy way to get rid of the access weight and clean up the rear end of your bike.
Crash Protection and Frame Sliders
Protecting your bike during track riding is critical. Evotech's Crash protection kits and spindle bobbins safeguard essential parts during low-side crashes, saving you repair costs and keeping your bike looking pristine.
Aggressive Windscreens for Improved Aerodynamics
High-speed stability and aerodynamics are essential for track performance. Upgrading to aggressive windscreens from DBK, Zero Gravity and Puig improve airflow over the rider, reducing drag and enhancing comfort during long straights.

Tyre Warmers: Consistent Grip from the First Lap
Tyres are one of the most critical performance components on a motorcycle, and tyre warmers are essential for any serious track rider or racer.
Tyre warmers bring tyres up to optimal operating temperature before you leave pit lane. This ensures:
- Immediate grip from the first corner
- Reduced risk of cold-tyre crashes
- Consistent tyre performance across sessions
- Less heat cycling, which extends tyre life
Without warmers, riders must spend multiple laps cautiously bringing tyres up to temperature—costing valuable track time and increasing the risk of mistakes. For racing, tyre warmers are non-negotiable, and for track days they dramatically improve confidence, safety, and lap consistency.
Paddock Stands and Bobbins: Stability and Safety in the Pits
A proper paddock setup is just as important as on-track performance. Evotec's Paddock stand bobbins coupled with Barracudas paddock stands provide a safe, stable way to support the bike in pit lane or the garage. For single sided swing arm bike models please ensure you select the correct paddock stand.
Why they matter:
- Allow quick tyre changes and warmer fitment
- Make chain adjustment and maintenance easier
- Keep the bike upright and secure
- Essential for race-day efficiency
Bobbins protect the swingarm while offering a solid mounting point for rear stands, while quality paddock stands ensure stability when working on the bike—critical in fast-paced race environments.
Race Switch Blocks: Fast, Intuitive Control at Speed
OEM switch blocks are designed for street use, often featuring bulky toggles and unnecessary functions. DBK offers a Race-style switch blocks replace these with compact, button-based controls that allow riders to make quick adjustments without removing their hands from the bars.
Benefits include:
- Faster access to essential functions
- Reduced cockpit clutter
- Improved focus during racing conditions
- Easier operation with race gloves
Switch blocks are commonly used to control ignition maps, pit lane speed limiters, traction control settings, and other race electronics. In competition environments, the ability to make instant adjustments can be the difference between maintaining pace and losing positions.
Chain Adjuster Blocks: Precise Alignment and Reliable Drive
Accurate wheel alignment is crucial for handling, stability, and drivetrain efficiency. DBK's upgraded chain adjuster blocks offer far greater precision and reliability than standard OEM units.
Key advantages include:
-
More accurate chain tension and wheel alignment
-
Reduced chance of adjustment slipping under load
-
Improved rear-end stability during acceleration
-
Faster, more consistent adjustments during race weekends
In racing, even small alignment errors can affect corner exit grip and straight-line stability. High-quality adjuster blocks ensure repeatability and confidence every time the wheel is refitted.
Why These Components Matter in Track and Racing Environments
At race pace, consistency, precision, and reliability matter just as much as outright speed. Tyre warmers, billet master cylinders, race switch blocks, paddock equipment, and chain adjuster blocks all contribute to:
-
Reduced risk
-
Improved rider confidence
-
Faster, more consistent lap times
-
Efficient pit lane and race-day operation
These upgrades may not always be the most visible, but they form the foundation of a truly track-ready motorcycle.
