The knee pad kit is essentially grip pads on the sides of the fuel tank which should help in locking in your knees on the tank. The grab rail is angled upwards, and fits on the rear rail so that the rider can hold when maneuvering off-bike. The tail rack and cushioned backrest should make the Gold Star a more comfortable touring motorcycle, especially when carrying luggage and a pillion. Note that the windshield kit is essentially a small flyscreen that will only help in slightly minimising wind blast. For better wind blast protection, you might want to invest in a larger windshield. These accessories should help buyers customize their BSA Gold Star to give it a unique look that suits their taste, and also make it more practical.
Additionally, the motorcycle also features a crash guard and an exhaust heat shield (to prevent the rider’s shoes from melting when it comes in contact with the exhaust), both of which improve the overall safety of the motorcycle.
