As the title says. What is on your Christmas list for your bike?

rvcycleguy · 12-18-2012, 01:50 PM

I've already received our gifts this year. Ive written on other threads of the wife and I riding PCH next week for at least 7-8 days. We needed heated jackets, bluetooth GPS, 12v charging connector, Slime mini air compressor, Nelson Riggs luggage set, SS brake line, new rear shoes, and 2inch riser spacers. We are set and ready to go. Waiting a few more days to depart this Saturday at dawn. We've ridden Xmas through New Years for the last 3 years in different parts of the USA and Mexico.

Rich's custom seat. I just want something so comfortable I can ride all day without thinking about my a55. Mustang Touring just does not do it. Better than stock, but not by a whole lot.

that is my dream to ride from Frisco to LA on the PCH, have driven while working in Big Sur at Big Sur Lodge, but still want to ride it. And if you spent the night at Big Sur Lodge you are supporting a fellow member, my employer runs it.

Well, when I bought my '05 C50 in August, my wife said THAT was my Christmas present. But she has had a heart since then, (now that she has the riding bug!). So I am getting a Hawk modular helmet, Kuryakyn grips, and 7 " teardrop handlebar risers from Ebay. Oh and a leather vest. Not complaining.

That's good to know. The Lodge is on our list of stops. We are riding from LA to SF and return back to LA over 8 days. I've got pair of nephews in Willits and Laytonville so if the weather is cooperating, we may get north of SF, at least overnight. We rode A1A last year from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West, so we are checking off our bucket list of roads.

i would like Tip's for my Vance and Hines Pipes ,
alas i can't find them anywhere

Jendesigner · 12-18-2012, 03:41 PM

^ If you have the V&H Slash Cuts, I'm pretty sure they don't make tips for that pipe. At least they are not listed as an accessory on the V&H site.

Have a few very long trips planned for next summer so wanted to add another option for tunes (I have speakers in helmet and have used ear buds). I bought a JLP Flip Blue Tooth speaker, portable enough to remove from bike and lock in saddle bag. Trying to keep a clean look to the handle bar area so didn't want permanent speakers. Have a few days off coming up and will make a holder for it, probably attach to the windshield bag somehow. Need to take for a test ride, sounds good in the garage but will see how it does on the road at 80mph

A simple man with simple needs.

A set of Value Accessories lowers

A compact 12v compressor
&
A tube of Slime for just in case

I also want underwear and socks but that's not for the bike specifically.
