10 Best Father’s Day Gifts for Motorcycle Dads

May 30, 2019

It’s that time of year once again, time to show those larger-than-life figures we call “Dad” how much we appreciate them. If your dad happens to ride motorcycles, then gifting him some fresh gear, a new gadget, or an accessory for his ride is guaranteed to put a smile on his face. I know it’d put one on mine (hint, hint Harley kids!).

That being said, we’ve put together this handy “Father’s Day Gift Guide” for that special motorcyclist in your life, the majority of them under $100. Do us a solid and take a picture of pops when he opens up his gift and post it to our Facebook page. We’d love to see all of the dads out there who J&P had a hand in making their day super special. Better yet, take a picture of him with his Father’s Day gift along with his motorcycle. Bonus points for burnouts!

Father's Day Gift Guide

Ram Mount Tough-Claw Mount with X-Grip Cradle.

Ram Mount Tough-Claw Mount with X-Grip Cradle for Large Phones $60.99

Cell phones have become an integral tool for motorcyclists. We can run nav through them, stream music, connect them to helmet communication systems, and even check diagnostics. That being said, we need them accessible, preferably mounted on the bars, not stuffed in a pocket. The trend lately though seems to be bigger is better, and some cell phones are borderline notebooks. Luckily, Ram Mount makes a motorcycle handlebar mount for large phones. It features an easy-to-use Tough-Claw mount and Ram’s signature four-armed X-Grip Cradle that expands to fit mobile devices ranging from 1.875 to 3.25 inches. The mount rotates 360 degrees and tilts so riders can dial in the view. (J&P Part #901-632)

UltraGard Black/Charcoal Bike Cover  $49.99 - $74.99

Help dad take care of his prized possession with an UltraGard Bike Cover. It’s water-resistant, will keep dirt and dust off his motorcycle, and has a scorch-resistant heat shield so it won’t melt onto his pipes. An elastic hem and bungee cord make sure it straps down tight and doesn’t blow away if winds kick up. It folds up nicely so it can be stuffed in its compact storage pouch and easily packed up for the ride. The UltraGard Black/Charcoal Bike Cover comes in medium to extra large and J&P’s got a handy sizing chart with a long list of bikes it fits at the bottom of the product page.  (J&P Part #308-368)

Our Dixxon Men’s J&P Cycles 40thAnniversary Flannel is red and gray and comes with our signature logo stitched succinctly on the left chest pocket.
