Accessories for the BMW K 100 LT

The BMW K 100 LT is a touring motorcycle suited to covering long distances on the road. On a trip, braking matters well beyond the occasional emergency stop. You may be slowing for a village, approaching a bend after a long straight or descending a hill after hours in the saddle. That makes the feel of the brakes a useful starting point when considering accessories for this bike. Riding with a passenger or luggage can also change how the bike feels as you slow down. Rather than thinking only about stopping force, it is worth considering how comfortably you can control the braking throughout a journey.

What riders usually fit to the BMW K 100 LT

The accessories shown here focus on brakes. It is a narrow selection, but one closely connected to the way a touring bike is ridden, particularly when a day out turns into several days on the road.

• Brakes: on the K 100 LT, predictable braking is useful when you move between open roads, slower traffic and winding descents. If you regularly ride two-up, you may also pay closer attention to how the brakes respond with a passenger aboard. You can explore the available brake accessories for this model, including options from Braking, with those riding conditions in mind rather than treating every journey as a short solo ride.

Your usual routes provide a practical way to assess what you need. A relaxed run on familiar roads places different demands on your attention from a long tour with frequent changes of pace. Think about the braking feel you have now, too: if it has changed unexpectedly, the bike should be checked rather than assuming a new accessory is the answer. For a motorcycle used to travel, confidence comes from understanding both the parts you fit and the condition of the bike you ride.
