Motorcyclist Christmas Gift List

If you have a motorcyclist in your life that you need help shopping for this holiday season, here are some items that they can probably really use but may have put off buying themselves. These are items that great for him or her, but mostly the motorcycle. Find these items locally at motorcycle dealerships or shops.

 

Battery Tender Junior

This smart charger will maintain any 12 volt lead acid, AGM, or gel battery. Once you bolt on the pigtail, you can easily plug in your motorcycle everytime you park in the garage and it will maintain or “float” the battery for long periods of time. This will extend the life of your battery and always have you ready to ride.

 

EZ Air Tire Gauge

Use with an air compressor for quick tire inflation by clipping the gauge on tire valve stem to read pressure. No need to remove while inflating, and it has a push button valve to bleed air down to desired pressure, while providing continuous reading until the chuck is released from valve stem. It takes up a little more space than a normal pen gauge but it is accurate, easy and quick to use.

 

ROK Straps

Easy to attach, buckle, and tighten, the Motorcycle/ATV Adjustable Strap is rated to carry 100 pounds (200 pounds burst strength) 1 inch wide, adjusts from 18 to 60 inches long.

The elastic section provides tension; the webbing section adjusts for size, ensuring you have exactly the right length with exactly the right tension. Each section is attached independently around a luggage rack, frame tube, foot peg carrier, the luggage is placed between the attachment points, the two parts of the strap are buckled together, and the strap is tightened.  Designed specifically for motorcycle and ATV use. Unlike bungee cords these won’t injure you or your ride, and you never see them lying on the roadway because they don’t fail.
