Find suggestions for last-minute motorcycling gifts at CycleSoup.com.

Give some holiday cheer with a great motorcycle-inspired stocking stuffer. Most are available at you local dealership.

  • Membership in a motorcycle rights organization -- Give a gift that defends motorcycling freedom. Every state has its own version (in many states it's called A.B.A.T.E.) and on the national front there's the Motorcycle Riders Foundation and the American Motorcyclist Association.
  • Helmet freshener -- No one likes a stinky head. There are a variety of formulas on the market, and they’re sure to take the smell out of that sweaty skid lid.
  • LED headlight conversion -- Help your loved one see and be seen with an ultra-bright LED conversion kit. Plug-and-play technology makes the upgrade as simple as swapping out the headlamp bulb.
  • Repair manual -- There's a book for every make and model, and considering how expensive shop fees can be, a repair manual can quickly pay for itself and is sure to be appreciated.
  • Hydrophobic treatment -- A special spray that turns just about any kind of fabric into a water-repellant surface, this space-age stuff will keep the rider in your life dry and comfy.
  • Biker bell -- Tradition says that a biker bell hung low on a motorcycle will keep the road gremlins away and keep you safe while riding. While we can’t prove they work, why take a chance?
  • Leatherman multi-tool -- With so many models of this versatile little tool available, you're bound to find the perfect one. They fit easily into a jacket pocket or a windshield or tank bag, and they're the ideal little emergency roadside lifesaver.
  • Helmet communications -- If you're tired of yelling over a shoulder to be heard, or if you and your loved one ride your own bikes, a helmet communications system is just the ticket to keep you connected. Manufacturers such as Sena and Cardo make a variety of systems to fit any helmet.
  • Headlamp -- Available in sizes as small as a golf ball (such as with Petzl's Zipka), an LED headlamp frees up the hands for other things like holding tools during roadside repairs. Throw it in a windshield bag and you’ll always have emergency illumination.
  • Kickstand plate -- it may seem simple, but a kickstand plate is a thoughtful stocking stuffer that can keep a bike from sinking into soft asphalt once summer temps return.
