When it comes to gift-giving, everyone could use a little help. Maybe you don't ride yourself but you're buying for someone who does and you could use some ideas. Even experienced riders have a hard time keeping up with the new products on the market and choosing something for their riding buddies, because we all know how particular riders are about how their motorcycles look and feel.
That's where our annual gift guide comes in. Here are some new and interesting products to consider when you start doing your holiday shopping.
Arlen Ness Air Trax Grips For Harley
Ever since the introduction of rubber-mounted and counterbalanced Big Twins, excess vibration hasn't been much of an issue for Harley-Davidson riders. But the large-diameter handgrips that come stock on Harleys are another matter. Riders with smaller hands sometimes have a hard time getting good traction on them, and the relatively smooth surface that's a feature of some stock grips doesn't help. For Harley riders who want better grip, as well as better grips, Arlen Ness Air Trax Grips are just what they're looking for.
Air Trax grips are made with an aggressive yet comfortable rubber design pattern that provides superior hand traction with a reduction in felt vibration. The grips' end caps are CNC-machined from billet aluminum and come engraved with the Arlen Ness logo. Priced from $58.46 to $71.96, they're model-specific and are sold in pairs.
Vance & Hines 4" Eliminator Slip-On Mufflers For Harley Touring bikes
A big bike needs big sound, and Vance & Hines Eliminator slip-ons give Harley tourers a deep, aggressive exhaust note that announces your presence with authority. The massive four-inch round mufflers don't just sound great, they look great, too, with CNC-machined billet end caps and several finish options to give your bike the look you want.
Priced between $549.99 and $599.99, the USA-made slip-ons are sold in pairs. For use on bikes with fuel-injected engines, Vance & Hines recommends pairing the Eliminators with a Vance & Hines Fuelpak (sold separately). For maximum performance, Vance & Hines header pipes and air cleaners are also recommended. For the best in style and performance, don't leave home without Vance & Hines Eliminator Slip-on mufflers.
Battery Tender 5 Amp Power Tender 12V Battery Charger
For many riders, the holiday season also coincides with a long break in the riding season. Even worse, it sometimes means the death of batteries left in hibernating bikes without being hooked up to a charger. Keep your battery alive through the winter with the 5-Amp Power Tender Battery charger from Battery Tender.
The 5-Amp Power Tender is perfect for all lead-acid, flooded, or sealed maintenance-free batteries and it also has a separate setting for charging lithium batteries. It can even handle vintage six-volt systems.
It features four-step, fully automatic charging that automatically switches to a float/maintenance setting after the battery is fully charged. It's protected from damage due to reverse polarity and short circuits, and comes with a built-in 72-hour timer, a six-foot AC power cord, a 4.5-foot DC output cord, and a 1.5-foot DC accessory cord. The Power Tender sells for $128.66 and comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty.
Figurati Designs Magnetic Oil Dipstick For Harley Milwaukee-Eight Touring models
Modern manufacturing techniques have all but eliminated the danger of bits of metal and other debris running rampant in an engine during break-in and doing damage as the oil circulates. But as the miles pile on so does the wear, and fine metal particles can collect in the oil and be flushed out only with a complete oil change. Guard against that damage between oil changes on 2017-24 Harley Touring models with Figurati's Magnetic Oil Dipstick.
The Magnetic Dipstick by Figurati Designs is made of high-quality 316L stainless steel to enhance the looks of your Harley bagger. But there's more going on here than good looks, because the magnet collects and traps metal particles that contaminate the oil and can spread through the engine. The accumulated debris is cleaned off with every oil change — or more often, if you want — resulting in longer engine life. The Magnetic Dipstick sells for $159.95, cheap compared to the cost of an engine teardown.
Street & Steel Mission Moto Riding Shirt
You don’t have to sacrifice comfort and style to get protection with the Street & Steel Mission Moto Riding Shirt. The custom woven outer shirt has shoulders and elbows reinforced with aramid fiber knit, and comes with removable Axial® AX2 CE2-certified shoulder and elbow protectors. There's also a pocket with a non-CE back pad that also fits size MD AXIAL® AX1 and AX2 back protectors for riders who want to upgrade.
In addition to a comfortable mesh liner, the shoulder gussets are designed for an easy reach to the handlebar. One chest pocket and two zippered hand-warmer pockets are standard, along with loops to attach to your favorite riding jeans. The snap-down collar prevents flapping at speed, and the YKK front zipper is hidden behind snaps that are rubberized to protect the paint on your tank. Mission Moto Riding Shirts are available in men's sizes (in three colors), women's sizes (in white/black only), and the dark twill Moto Union Riding Shirt. They're all priced at $119.99.
Sedici Strada 3 helmet
There's a lot going on during the holiday season so you want to keep your head together. The same goes for the street any time of year, and for those occasions there's the Sedici Strada 3 helmet. Its shell is made of a proprietary blend of fiberglass, nylon, DuPont Kevlar, and military-spec resin, and has 3D-modeled aerodynamics to reduce drag and turbulence. Three intake and three exhaust vents keep the interior cool, and a two-position chin vent moves air across the shield to prevent fogging.
The face shield is Pinlock-ready and has a stainless-steel latch point for secure closure. A drop-down internal sun shield is standard. The interior padding has two 45 mm speaker pockets, and the cheek pads are removable to allow a customized fit. The Sedici Strada 3 meets or exceeds DOT and ECE 22.06 standards, comes in four shell sizes and six EPS sizes, and sells for $279.99.
Cardo PackTalk Edge headset
Whether you’re riding with a group or with just one friend, communication on the road is important to coordinate gas stops or warn following riders of hazards ahead. The Cardo PackTalk Edge headset has a rider-to-rider range of one mile and a group range of up to five miles. The second-generation Dynamic Mesh Communication (DMC) features superior intercom sound quality and easy pairing, and uses the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology that allows you to pair with any other Bluetooth intercom headset. Auto-reconnect ensures you don't have to manually repeat the pairing process if you ride out of range from your group.
Natural Voice Operation allows for "Hey Cardo" functionality instead of using buttons. A full charge (in up to two hours) gives you up to 13 hours of talk time and 10 days of standby. The Cardo connect App works with iOS and Android and there are two Bluetooth channels to connect with a phone or GPS. The Air Mount system provides secure magnetic mounting to the mount kit on your helmet. The waterproof Cardo PackTalk Edge headset sells for $359.96.
Reda 1 Gallon Saddlebag Gas Can
Hitting the open road is great but sometimes there aren't as many gas stations on that road as you'd like. If fuel range is stopping you from exploring, you need the Reda 1-Gallon Saddlebag Gas Can for extra range when it counts. It's made of six-ply HDPE NANO plastic for a vapor-proof barrier that doesn't leave your other luggage smelling like hi-test, and its shape fits a variety of saddlebags. The Generation 3 spill-proof spout is the easiest you'll ever use and won't dribble gas on your tank or engine. The Reda Saddlebag Gas Can measures six inches wide by seven inches long and 10.25 inches tall and sells for $57.95.
Drag Specialties Center Jack Scissor Lift Stand
Working on your own bike is not only a money-saver, it's also therapeutic, helping you forget the troubles of the day. But as good as it is for your mind, working on a bike on the garage floor can take its toll on your body. For those jobs that would otherwise strain your back and knees, get the Drag Specialties Center Jack Scissor Lift Stand to raise your bike up to a more convenient level.
The Center Jack Scissor Lift Stand has a heat-treated hex drive that runs a robust worm gear to adjust the height. At its lowest, the stand sits just 3.5 inches off the floor; fully extended it's 14.5 inches high. Two deck sizes are available — narrow (15 inches by five inches) and wide (15.25 inches by nine inches) — and the lift's maximum weight rating is 1,000 pounds. Priced at $191.95 or $200.95, it'll lift your spirits as well as your bike.
Kuryakyn Road Thunder Bluetooth Sound Bar Plus by MTX
The speakers on touring bikes don't always have enough power to overcome wind noise at speed. If that's your problem, check out the Road Thunder Bluetooth Sound Bar from Kuryakyn. It hits 300 watts at peak power, pushing your music through a pair of two-inch-by-three-inch speakers and four one-inch silk dome tweeters with N42-grade magnets. It comes with 3.5 mm input and output jacks and an integrated 3.0 Bluetooth receiver with automatic pairing via NFC.
The articulating mounting clamps fit virtually any handlebars between 7/8 and 1.25 inches in diameter, and the power, ground, and ignition wires come with connectors for easy disconnection. All-weather construction, a built-in heat sink, and circuit protection mean the Road Thunder Bluetooth Sound Bar Plus will crank out your favorite road tunes for years to come for just $539.99.
