Christmas List

[felizcortez]

Well this might be a little early, but I need to have a list into the family by tomorrow for a Christmas list.  Anyone have any ideas on motorcycle accessories for under 30 bucks?

So far all I have is a crampbuster.

[R.Markus]

There aren't many motorcycle related items that you can buy for under $30.  

Do you need any RAM arms/mounts/cradles? There's always cleaning or maintenance items such as oil filters and other things, although people don't really like to give that stuff for x-mas.


I'm still trying to make my Halloween list.

Fog City Liner for your helmet
New oil filters
Small roll of 3M reflective tape
Books such as the Peter Egan essay collection
Tire irons
Cable luber
Valve stem remover
LED replacement lamps
Spare headlamps
Battery Tender
Brake disc lock
Slime (or other) 12v tire inflator
Tire patch kit

Helmet hanger
Kickstand coaster
Reflective wheel tape
New grips
Oil filters

Reflective wheel tape

I wasn't aware of that product, great idea.

Balaclava......so you can go for a ride on Christmas.

Guys thank you for the help.. There are some great ideas on here.... Keep em coming

Pin stripe from streetglo or other places that sell reflective pinstripe work well for wheels too.  Then you can use the rest on your helmet.    I've put pinstripe on 2 sets of wheels, works fine if you use a little soapy water so you can move it around a little.

I'm going to ask my parents for an industrial size box of earplugs, or a half decent set of earbuds that I can have molded into custom ear plugs.  have not decided.

I'd ask for a bottle of all kleer and rejex, but I don't think I'm going to be able to wait on those.  I want to see how well the all kleer works for fog.

Stop and go tire plug kit if you don't already have one to keep on every bike.

Metal or other hard lunch box, keeps your bananas and fig newtons from becoming a gooey mess during day rides.

If I told my family I wanted a crampbuster they'd toss me bottle of:

If you don't keep luggage on the bike all the time, I would highly recomend some kind of packable storage. I have backpack that wads up pretty small and it was well with in the $30.00 limit.

There it is tucked under my pillion seat behind the toolkit and on top of the patch kit and owners manual.

I wasn't aware of that product, great idea.  

I made my own out of 'prizmatic' reflective tape.... in the '80s.
If I were to do it again, I'd do them half white, half red.

Silk glove and sock liners
Riderwarehouse LED brake light bar
LED brake flasher   http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm  $6
Duluth Trading cheater sunglasses (makes it easier to read the GPS)

[4krysia]

09 cbr1000rr abs

shoei x-11 white

that should just about do it, for now

[Kat-Rider]

To keep it under $30 I would go with 3 or 4 oil filters.
You know you will need them.

How about the Service Manual for your bike if you do not have one?

I get by well enough with my slime digital gauge I got for $10.  Funny thing, I like the slime tire gauge and 12v pump but not the actual crap you spray in the tire.  

[JReazor]

Got another one. A small dry bag is a great place to stash your cell phone to keep it dry if you get caught in a downpour.

[mtrider16]

How about one of them headlight modulator thingy's.  Hear they're the rage nowdays.

1 bottle of all kleer and 1 bottle of rejex are $26.40 shipped.  I'll post a review once they arrive.  Cheaper than buying a new "everclear" visor that'll start fogging in a couple months anyway.  

[stefrrr]

A Buff. Keeps your hair tidy under your helmet.  

You can also use it as a neckwarmer and hat.

Heated Grips!!!  

BEST EVER for under $30
