Phone Mount

Directions don’t come naturally to many motorcycle riders, and the amount we get lost is a testament to that. Sometimes getting lost is part of the adventure, and sometimes you just want to get home. Either way, it couldn’t hurt to have a map within eye reach while you’re on the move. And thanks to Quad Lock products, that’s now possible.

Quad Lock makes a huge variety of phone mounting products and motorcyclist-specific products are some of the most popular. This particular unit, the Quad Lock Motorcycle Handlebar Mount, includes everything you’ll need to install it on any motorcycle and allows for your choice of mounting angle. You’ll also need to get one of QuadLock’s sleek phone cases to complete the package.

Work Sucks Let's Ride Snapback

This distressed trucker hat makes a great gift for any motorcycle rider. It’s ideal for throwing on when the helmet comes off, or just for wearing around the garage.

If you don't like this one, Hot Leathers has plenty of styles and colors available; t-shirts too. Check them out here.

Tech-Air 5 System

The Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 System is tuned for street riding and can fit under just about any textile jacket. How does it work, you ask? Three gyroscopes and three accelerometers monitor the rider’s speed and body position to identify when major abnormalities (read: crashes) are happening. The vest will inflate to protect the shoulders, chest, ribs, and full back and is proven to reduce impact forces by 95%.

It’s the single best investment you can make in your personal safety as a motorcyclist.

UltraDri Riding Socks

These Harley-Davidson UltraDri 3 Pack Poly Blend Riding Socks are made of 75% ultraspun polyester, 20% nylon, and 5% spandex. UltraDri moisture wicking keeps feet cool and dry, while the embedded arch support reduces foot fatigue during the ride. They also feature reinforced heel and toe protection and a ribbed “stay-up” top for a secure comfortable fit.

This 3-pack of men’s size large fits shoe sizes 9-13. Best of all, they’re made in the USA.

Gift Decanter For Wine & Whiskey

This 750ml hand-blown glass decanter is shaped in the form of a sport bike and boasts surprisingly intricate detail. No matter if your favorite motorcycle rider uses it as a display or actually fills it with booze, it’s sure to make a statement. It measures 11.97 x 8.66 x 5.71 inches.

Roadside Tool Kit

The Stockton Roadside Tool Kit has a massive selection of tools to aid in almost any mechanical motorcycle emergency. The tool organizer rolls up to fit in most saddlebags and storage areas.

Need help deciding which kit is right for you? Harley riders are going to want the Standard (SAE) toolkit, while nearly all other vehicles will use the Metric kit.

Moto Original Earplugs

Tired of rolling up those foam earplugs and stuffing them in your ears? Try Earpeace Moto. Get it, Ear Peace? I was skeptical about these when offered, especially at $29.95, but for that price, you get a number of them, along with a handy carrying case.

They work as advertised to block out unwanted noise on a long ride and they don’t get your ear canals sore as those foam plugs do after a daylong moto. You can also wear them discreetly at concerts without looking like an old person. Perfect stocking, or ear canal, stuffer.

Vintage Motorcycle Bottle Opener

Die-cast from zinc alloy, this charming bottle opener is durable, compact, and rust-resistant for long-term use. It’s small and easy to carry, but works best in the kitchen or garage. It’s great for the shop.

It also comes in a cool gift box. If you’re looking for an inexpensive gift for a motorcycle lover, you’ve found it.

Unbreakable Jacket

Sa1nt's Unbreakable denim jacket with its snap-on/off faux-shearling collar (both black and white collars come with the jacket) is back, and more protective than ever. The classic denim styling now features internal pockets for D30 armor (sold separately) in the back, shoulders, and elbows to keep you even safer should things go south.

PackTalk Edge Helmet Communication System

Hand signals from your riding buddy can only go so far, especially when a waving arm could mean anything. Communication systems go a long way toward enjoying group rides and Cardo’s PackTalk Edge is the perfect communication system for individual and group use. The waterproof model includes a Mesh network Bluetooth connection for phone calls, directions, and music while also allowing for rider-to-rider communications.

That’s right, you can conference with up to 15 riders directly, though we’d recommend keeping it to three or four max. JBL speakers are included in the package and make communications and music crystal clear. Best of all, you can set up voice commands and speed dial to make sure those eyes stay on the road.

Stormrider Rain Suit

Do you trust Nelson-Rigg to cover your motorcycle? We do, and you should, too. But do you really trust them to keep your arms and legs dry in a torrential downpour? Again, we do, and you should, too.

The Nelson-Rigg Stormrider Rain Suit is the perfect rain suit thanks to its modular construction and high visibility. It’s a two-piece suit with pieces that can be worn individually, making it usable in a light drizzle or monsoon.

Two large outer pockets are joined by a full-length zipper with a self-fastening storm flap, meaning it won’t leak despite being a two-piece. A soft corduroy inner collar keeps it comfortable. The price varies depending on size, and it comes with a two-year warranty.

Compact Air Compressor with Light

Correct tire pressure is crucial to safe riding and long tire life, but checking the pressure, finding a gas station with a working air pump, and filling the tire is a chore that many of us ignore. Harley-Davidson's Air Pump is designed to simplify this necessary procedure by being small enough to carry with you.

This all-in-one pump plugs into your bike's battery charging harness and features a built-in 0-160psi pressure gauge and bright LED work light. The 11" air hose and 6-foot fuse-protected power cord easily reach the front and rear wheels, and are stored in convenient compartments when not in use. Kit includes pump, valve stem extension, and nylon carry bag

R20 Backpack

Kriega is the leading brand in motorcycle baggage, and its backpacks are no different. Waterproof inside and with 20 liters of storage space, the R20 backpack is perfect for commuting and it features Kreiga’s harness-style fasteners. An innovative technology pioneered specifically for motorcycles, the chest clip and straps allow the bag’s weight to be pushed forward, making sure that the weight stays centered on the back without disturbing your riding balance.

It’s the perfect motorcycling backpack, as far as we’re concerned.

Staten WP Motorcycle Boots

The Chelsea boot is a classic, inspiring a host of variations from dressy versions to rugged hiking models. And now you can wear a pair on your motorcycle, thanks to Italian boot manufacturer TCX. By adding a side zipper to the otherwise elastic slip-on boot, TCX has made a classic silhouette safe for motorcycling and stylish too. A proprietary waterproofing lines the inside of the boots, keeping your feet dry and serving as an insulator for winter riding.

Safety is the utmost priority when riding, and these Staten WP CE-certified boots live up to the task, with a reinforced malleolus area, toe, and heel.
