So my wife tells me yesterday that my kids (7 and 11) want to buy me something for fathers day for my new harley. I tell her no I dont want them spending their allowance on me but she said they insisted and she would help them with the purchase. I dont want them to spend too much so does anyone have any ideas? I have looked in the catalog and just cant decide. I have grips, shifter pegs, brake pedal, Highway pegs.
Remember they want something I can use on the bike so they can see it all the time and maybe $50 max of shich my wife will pay half or so

Thanks

 

Gift certificate maybe? How about a HD knife, coffee mug, something like that? I'd suggest something that you'll always use so that they can see their gift in action...

 

Shift linkage? Light visors? Brake fluid resevour covers?

 

How about a laydown license plate, or a derby cover out of the HD catalog? Both are inexpensive high-visibility items that your wife and kids would see every time they looked at the bike.

 

So far I like the shift linkage idea. They sell a cover deal I think for like $50. Also like the laydown plate idea

Keep em coming

 

Since I change my mind everyday on what the next thing I want for my bike I would say a Guardian Bell and a GiftCard. Bells are usually around 12 bucks. That way they can give you something personal and the GC can be used for what ever you want. Everytime I come home from riding my daughter runs outside to see me and make sure my bell is there and daddy is ok. Its nice way to bring things important to you close together.

You can check out some examples here: http://www.guardianbell.com/bells.php

This is one of the most recent forms of the legend:

Many of us have heard the story about Evil Road Spirits. They are little gremlins that live on your bike. They love to ride, and they’re also responsible for most of your bike’s problems. Sometimes your turn signals refuse to work; your battery goes dead, the clutch needs adjustment, or any of several hundred things that can go wrong. These problems are caused by Evil Road Spirits. Evil Road Spirits can’t live in the presence of the bell, because they get trapped in the hollow of the bell. Among other things, their hearing is supersensitive, so the constant ringing of the bell and the confined space drives them insane. They lose their grip and eventually fall to the roadway. Have you ever wondered how potholes are formed? The bell has served its purpose. If you pick up a Guardian Bell of your own, the magic will work, but if your bell is given to you, the power is doubled, and you know that somewhere you have a special friend helping to look after you. So, if you have a friend who doesn’t have a bell, why not give them one? It’s a nice feeling for the recipient to know you care. The bell, plus a good preventive maintenance program by the bikes owner, will help eliminate Evil Road Spirits.

*Disclaimer* - to each their own if you believe it or not......

 

One of the best father's day presents I got was from one of my boys. He got me a real nice HD shirt, snaps in lieu of bottons, and snaps on the collar to keep it from slapping you in the face when riding. You can wear it casual out at night or for riding over a tee. I've got a lot a miles on that shirt, and every time I put it on, I think of my boy. I've seen the same one for $50-60. It's got a subtle HD Logo on the pocket, and comes in black, grey, or white. I got black, of course. Good Luck, CCRyder

 

+ 1 on the bell. IMHO, the best one from the kids, my wife and son bought mine when I got the bike....

 

If you register on the site and start a wish list, it's pretty cool.

I leave stuff there all the time and it shows up on birthdays, Christmas and such.

My vote is for a bell, it's good luck!

Hey Ugga, Nice Rocket III.&nbsp\\; I sold mine to get my Ultra EG.&nbsp\\; Sometimes miss that throttle, but I love the Harley too.
