Motorcycle Parts Fitment Help: Will This Fit My Bike?

Found a motorcycle part you like, but not sure whether it fits your bike? Before ordering an exhaust, air filter, screen or accessory, check the exact application and any fitting requirements. A familiar model name alone is not enough to confirm compatibility.

At Motorcycle Performance Store, you can browse by motorcycle make, model and year. If anything is unclear, contact our team with your bike details and the product link before placing your order.

Check these details before you order

  1. Motorcycle make and exact model: include the engine size and full model name, not just the manufacturer.
  2. Model year: check the bike's model year rather than relying only on its registration date.
  3. Variant or specification: include details such as SP, Adventure, Rally, R or S where applicable.
  4. Product application: read the listed model years, fitting notes, included components and any exclusions.
  5. Existing modifications: tell us about aftermarket parts that could affect installation.

Model year and registration year can be different

A motorcycle first registered in one year may belong to an earlier model year. Manufacturers can also change mounting points, bodywork, engines and exhaust layouts between generations that share a model name.

If you are unsure which version you own, check your motorcycle documentation or ask your motorcycle dealer to confirm the model specification. Let us know if the bike is an import or differs from the standard UK specification.

Check the requirements for the part you are buying

Exhaust systems and silencers

Confirm whether the product is a slip-on silencer, a full system or a component intended to work with another exhaust. Check the required link pipes, headers, brackets and other components in the product listing. Tell us if your bike already has a modified exhaust or ECU setup.

Air filters and intake upgrades

Check the exact filter application and whether you are buying a replacement filter, an airbox cover or a kit. Different intake products are not interchangeable simply because they are listed for the same motorcycle family. Follow the manufacturer's fitting and setup guidance.

Screens and wind protection

Check the model year, screen mounting arrangement and whether original or additional brackets are required. Existing handguards, mirrors and accessories may also need to be considered.

Protection, luggage and other accessories

Check mounting points and any restrictions involving other fitted accessories. Let us know about existing crash bars, luggage racks, tail tidies or other parts that may share the same mounting area.

Does selecting my bike confirm that every part will fit?

Use the bike finder as a starting point, then check the individual product description and fitting notes before ordering. A product may apply only to certain variants, year ranges or configurations. If the listing does not clearly match your motorcycle, please ask us to check rather than assuming it will fit.
