Best Garage Mats for Harley Davidson Owners?

Motorcycles

I’m looking to buy a garage mat specifically designed for my Harley Davidson and I could use some advice. There are so many options out there, and I want to make sure I get something durable and practical. Here are a few things I’m considering:

Key Features I’m Looking For:

  • Branding: Ideally, I want a mat that features Harley Davidson logos or colors. It should complement my bike and add to the garage’s aesthetics.
  • Durability: Since I’ll be using it for maintenance and to protect my garage floor, it needs to be tough enough to withstand oil spills, heavy bike weight, and frequent use.
  • Ease of Cleaning: I want something that’s easy to clean without damaging any features. Mats that resist oil and stains would be a plus.
  • Non-Slip Surface: Safety is crucial, so I’m looking for mats with a non-slip surface to prevent any accidents while working on my bike.

Questions for the Community:

  • Has anyone here found a garage mat that ticks all these boxes?
  • What brands do you recommend?
  • Are there any features I should be aware of that might help in my decision-making?

Any insights or personal experiences would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

Rubber mats are great for durability! They can handle oil spills and are easy to clean. I recommend them for Harley owners who want something long-lasting.

Absolutely! I also like how they add a nice grip to the floor, especially when working on bikes.

PVC is another option. It’s a bit lighter than rubber and can come in more designs. Just check how well it holds up under heavy use.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about PVC. Some say it can get slippery when wet. Anyone experienced that?

Yes, PVC mats can be slippery! I prefer using carpet mats simply for the aesthetics. They look good, but you definitely need to maintain them regularly.

I get that! But what about spills? Doesn’t carpet get ruined easily?

8

Absolutely! Carpet can absorb spills and smell. If you go that route, just be prepared for regular cleaning. A good mat can really enhance the garage vibe!

Speaking of aesthetics, does anyone know if there are printed designs that look cool with Harleys? I love custom looks!

Check out some online retailers! I’ve seen mats with flames and vintage bike themes that are awesome!

Rubber mats tend to last the longest, but PVC can be quite stylish if you find the right design. However, remember that style shouldn’t compromise safety.

It’s true! Safety first, right? But if you have to choose, what’s the better option: durability or aesthetics?

13

Honestly, I’d say durability wins! A broken mat is way worse than a boring one.

14

You won’t be laughing when your pretty mat gets destroyed by oil! But hey, if it looks cool, at least it’s nice to look at. Balance, I guess!

15

A reflective mat could actually be beneficial! It helps with visibility in the garage while still being functional. Win-win!

16

Great point! Illuminating the area while working on my Harley sounds like a smart idea.

I’ve been using rubber mats in my garage for years. Regular vacuuming and a gentle soap solution keeps them looking new! Just don’t use anything too abrasive.

18

That’s great advice! I also like using a diluted vinegar solution for deeper cleaning. It helps remove oil stains effectively!

My Harley mat is made from polypropylene, and I find that a pressure washer works wonders. Just be careful not to damage the edges!

Interesting! Do you use any specific nozzle, or just the standard one?
