Oil Can Glass Set — Harley-Davidson — $30
This is a set of four glasses decorated to resemble vintage Harley-Davidson oil cans. They’re a great way to enjoy just about any beverage. They glasses hold 16 ounces, which means there’s plenty of space for a 12 ounce can of soda and a couple ice cubes. Speaking of ice cubes…
Bar and Shield Ice Cube Tray — Harley-Davidson — $15
What’s even cooler than Harley drinking glasses? How about ice cubes shaped like the famous bar & shield logo, complete with the lettering? This silicone ice cube tray makes ten ice cubes. If you’re planning a party, we’d suggest picking up a pair — these are sure to be a hit, and everyone’s going to want one in their drink!
Moto Pumps Mini Pro Standard — Moto Pumps — $70
Nobody likes being stranded on their motorcycle, waiting for roadside assistance due to a flat tire. On the other hand, there’s not a lot of space to fit a small air compressor, even on a full dresser touring bike. Moto Pumps were designed by a motorcyclist to suit the needs of motorcyclists.
This pump is tiny, measuring just 2″ x 4.7″ x 5.75″ and weighing in at a scant 18 ounces. Don’t let the small size fool you — the Mini Pro Standard features a powerful pump, a high-quality air hose, and a backlit pressure gauge. It can hook up to a cigarette lighter outlet or a battery tender plug, and even has an on-board LED flashlight. Every motorcyclist should have one of these with them at all times.
Motorcycle Lift — Harbor Freight — $100
We’ve been using one of these motorcycle lifts in the garage for years. It’s an indispensable tool that makes all kinds of work much easier, from changing fork seals to replacing a rear tire. In the long run, it saves money and make motorcycle maintenance more fun. Every motorcyclist needs one of these in the garage.
Husky 30 Piece Ratcheting Wrench Set — Home Depot — $60
Motorcycles are usually easier to work on than cars. However, there are plenty of times when there is just not enough clearance to get a ratchet and socket where you need it. It’s times like those when a ratcheting wrench comes in handy.
This Husky ratcheting wrench set comes with 30 wrenches, in standard and metric. Best of all, there are stubby ratchets in common sizes that will come in handy when space is even more limited. Despite the bargain price, these are some very high quality tools — we have a set ourselves out in the garage. They’re also backed up by a lifetime warranty.
H-D Snap-On Tool Kit — Harley-Davidson — $220
Harley-Davidson builds the best motorcycles around, and Snap-On makes the best tools. It’s as simple as that. This officially licensed tool kit rolls up neatly in a pouch. Keep it in a saddlebag or under your seat be ready for any roadside repair at any time. It’s certainly not cheap, but it would make one heck of a gift when only the best will do.
Mothers Power Cone Precision Polisher — Advance Auto Parts — $27
Harley-Davidson motorcycles are covered in chrome and aluminum. If you want your bike to look its best, those metals need to be polished to a mirror shine. Unfortunately, doing it by hand takes a long time, and some areas are tough to reach.
Simply chuck the Power Cone into your drill, find your favorite chrome polish, and go to work. The Power Cone can do in minutes what it would take hours to do by hand, and with superior results. Spend less time polishing, and more time riding!
HOG Blaster Motorcycle Dryer — Harley-Davidson — $125
Ask ten motorcyclists how to wash a bike, and you’ll get ten answers. However, we assume that once everyone sees the awesome drying power of the HOG Blaster, they’ll at least all agree on how the job should be finished.
It’s a cool tool with a fun name that makes a tough job easy. This may be the perfect gift.
1947 Harley-Davidson Servi-Car 1:18 Scale Model by Maisto — Amazon — $18
Just about every one of us has some shelf space dedicated to Maisto’s 1:18 scale Harley-Davidson model motorcycles. We’ve got quite a few ourselves, and at this point, it’s going to take something really special to get our attention.
We’ve certainly found it here. We have a real appreciation for the Servi-Car here at H-D Forums. They’re an important piece of Harley history, and they’re super cool to boot. Now, your favorite Harley fan can add one to their collection.
LEGO Creator Harley-Davidson Fat Boy by LEGO — $100
We’re sure there are quite a few moms and dads reading this that secretly enjoy helping their kids put together LEGO sets. Well, here’s one for the grown-ups. The kit contains over 1,000 pieces, and when built, measures roughly a foot long. It’s packed with authentic details, and will look simply awesome on your display shelf — that is, if you can keep the kids from salvaging parts for castles and space ships!
