The New Africa Twin Gets Farkled with Factory Accessories
Honda releases long list of factory accessories for the new Africa Twin.
Honda’s marketing team seems to be releasing information about the new Africa Twin in batches in an effort to keep a steady stream of news in the press. In the latest announcement, Honda provided more details about the factory accessories that will be made available for the Africa Twin. While the list includes all the usual accessories you’d expect like a touring windscreen, heated grips, hard luggage and fog lights, there are also some on the list that are a bit more unique.
Some of the more interesting accessories include a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) foot-pedal shifter for customers who want a traditional feel, rubber pillion pegs to make your passenger’s ride more comfortable, wind deflector attachments that smooth the airflow around the bike, and visual enhancements like a smoked windscreen and wheel stripes. No official word yet from Honda on whether a centerstand will be standard equipment but only the fully-accessorized Africa Twin photos show the bike with a centerstand installed.
The jury is still out on how the Africa Twin will match up with the competition but one thing is certain, the new Africa Twin looks enticing when it’s fully-farkled out.
List of Africa Twin Accessories:
- Top Box
- Hard Panniers
- Smoke Windscreen
- Tall Touring Windscreen
- Upper and Lower Wind Deflectors
- Rubber Pillion Pegs
- Fog Lamps
- Accessory Bars (Crash Bars)

What an awesome list of options! Can’t wait to throw a leg over this bike!
Would look even better if Honda brought over the red white and blue colorway to the States!
I admit, I want one of these in a VERY bad way. HOWEVER, I want it with cruise control, and the special 3-color paint job ONLY! Please Honda, make that happen!
Comes with a Frequent Sipper Starbucks card. Not for real offroad use.
It’s outrageous to me, that a motorcycle of this size and cost, doesn’t even come with a centerstand.
So basic crash bars, passenger pegs, and a centerstand (!) are all extra cost options? How much heavier than a KTM will it be after these items (standard equipment for other brands) are installed? No thanks, too heavy and too lame on power.
I want to purchase the centrestand right now. Where do I order it?
Hi Salihin. The 2016 Honda CRF1000L accessories don’t appear to be available yet. You might be able to order it through your local Honda dealer or keep an eye out for it here…

Ride by wire throttle but no cruise control. Luckily we have self cancelling turn signals, we all know how important they are. Tubeless tires and cross-spoked wheels would be nice, maybe a few more years of evolution are needed before this bike gets serious.
