Gifts for your Motorcycle

We already covered Gifts for Him and Gifts for Her. What about gifts for your motorcycle? Your bike takes you places all season, carries you in comfort, and never complains. Let’s do something nice for it this holiday season by adding some power.

Exhaust

Nothing makes a motorcycle happier than when it can breather easier. It runs cooler, it makes more power, it sounds better, and it it definitely looks better.

The Vance and Hines Pro Pipe is one of my all time favorites. I have run different versions of this over the years and it never fails to deliver the most of any pipe. The 2 into 1 style is not everyone’s favorite – but if you want the most HP out of your HD this is our choice.

Intake

If it gets the exhaust out faster then it makes sense to get more air in. Not too mention better airflow equals a better running motor and maybe more MPG. Let’s be honest we only add performance parts to increase the fuel mileage.

Here is a new product from Kuryakyn, the Crusher Maverick air cleaner.

Kuryakyn carries everything you would ever want or need to bolt onto your motorcycle but we are sharing the gift giving love with multiple manufacturers.

Tuner

There is an endless debate about whether changing exhaust requires a tuner. We aren’t going to argue it here but merely suggest this. If you want the most performance out of that exhaust and intake a tuner is the way to get it.

The Fuelpak FP3 will revolutionize fuel management for all new Harley-Davidson models now using the HDLAN (CAN Bus) system. Connecting wirelessly by Bluetooth to iPhone or Android Smartphones, Fuelpak FP3 uses Flash technology to recalibrate engine parameters and mapping for exhaust systems and other performance upgrades downloaded from the expansive library of calibrations developed by Vance & Hines.

Also standard for the Fuelpak FP3 is an Autotune feature, making use of all factory sensors to add another layer of precision tuning for specific requirements, whether tuning for unique components or different grades of fuel.

So why did I use Vance and Hines twice? The F3 FuelPak is the most advanced tuner on the market and it syncs to a smartphone to use it. It’s small, easy to install and packs more features that anything else you can buy.

Seat

The top says power but the bottom says ouch. You added all that performance but can’t ride more than 20 minutes without a sore back or uncomfortable seating. The best way to enjoy that newfound power is to improve the seat.

A seat like the Saddlemen LS Road Sofa is perfect for piling on miles for both you and a passenger. Comfort, and good looks with quilted stitching and quality materials.

That’s our performance gift list for you special ride. Tell us what you think or what you are getting your motorcycle for the holiday.
