good christmas present--HELP

Hello, my father recently purchased a 1996 electra glide, he got it way cheap, anyway what would you guys recommend i could get him for a christmas present, i wouldnt like to spend more than $150, which i know is tough when we're dealing with harleys. the bike already has the s&s carb intake and air filter, and a set of pipes along with almost every chrome option. he says the radio sucks, it's just two speakers, any suggestions? thanks kevin.

There are a lot of goodies for under $150.00.........more HD clothing for one thing then you can buy in a lifetime. Might have him do for you what I did for my family. Go onto the HD website, get a log-in and fill out a "wish list." Pick from that as it would still be a surprise as to which item(s) and no guessing as to his personal taste for the his scoot.

The list could be endless.....I'd ask him in a casual conversation what he plans to add to the bike and this will give you an idea of what to get.

since he already mentioned it, you might consider finding out why his radio sucks and then upgrading the part(s) that will fix it for him, like antenna or speakers or wiring...or is it the radio itself? Radio will put you over $150.
