Those who own performance racing bikes sometimes have the tendency to spend a lot of money on custom parts and accessories. While this is not necessarily a bad thing it is possible to over-do-it and get poor results. When asked "What is the most important motorcycle part to help these bikes achieve the ultimate in performance?" it is likely that there will be many different answers depending on who you ask.

Of course when you do ask that question there are several suggestions given on what custom motorcycle parts or accessories to use. For example, the suspension is one area that you can work on in order to increase the speed of the bike. Unfortunately, many riders, especially the more inexperienced ones, overlook this important fact. When you purchase a stock bike it may perform fine, but if you want that little extra and you push the bike beyond what is considered average, then it may not perform as you wish. That does not mean that you need to redo everything; just concentrate on the stock suspension and use the appropriate custom motorcycle accessory to accomplish this.
Another important motorcycle part to consider is the motorcycle tires, as they are an extremely important component, with regard to how the bike handles and maneuvers. Most experts suggest that you reduce the weight from the unsprung parts, such as the rotors, wheels, sprockets, etc., as this technique will help in how the bike handles.
Most people who modify these bikes for a living or even race them know that the way a bike handles takes priority over both cosmetics and power. An average rider may think that custom motorcycle accessories are the most important considerations, yet there are things that may not be visible to the inexperienced rider.
The things that are not always visible may include needing to install bigger or taller tires without adjusting or messing up the geometry involved, as this causes many riders to lose stability. In this case, the motorcycle part that needs to be adjusted is the triple clamps that are located on the bikes for evening out the difference in the tires. Most experts also agree that for maximum effect you should opt for the DOT slicks when it comes to choosing your tires for racing. This can be especially helpful for new riders who are trying to improve their lap times, as they heat up a little faster than most of the others.
