Default Birthday Present Ideas

Ok, I'm drawing a blank and really don't want to give my buddy a gift card. I'm looking for ideas. Want to spend about $50-$75. He rides a '13 limited. Any ideas in that price range?

I think a gift card is a pretty good idea myself. Then he can get what he really wants. I wouldn't want somebody buying something for my bike that i didn't really want. Or another idea get with him sometime and bring up in the conversation what ideas he has planned to do to his bike and you may come across something that way.

How about an oil change kit? Oil, a filter and o-ring.

That's a good idea! I knew somebody would come up with something I hadn't thought of. We've done the shirts thing and gift cards. He's like me I don't need another Harley shirt and I'm not going anywhere good this weekend to get something different. I was hoping to figure out something else. Keep the ideas coming!

Put together a clean up kit. Micro fiber towels, best waxes, the SP-100 all that type stuff.

How about tools? Preferably something that you don't have and don't need often so then you know where you can borrow one and he can store it...
