Originally made as a spare tire lock for pickups and SUVs, this is a fast deploying and easy to carry cable lock that's ideal for moto-travel. Although the thick 12mm cable and Ace cylinder lock does not provide the ultimate heart-of-darkness bank vault security, this lock is so easy to use it’s perfect for everyday lockups.

When traveling it can be quickly stored as a straight length of cable…it lays perfectly along-side your duffel or your bikes frame. Has an o-ring sealed lock mechanism that keeps moisture out of the internals.

It is possible to enjoy warm, dry hands while being plastered and hammered and hosed. Made from 3.5 oz/sq yd 40d three-layer breathable-waterproof ripstop nylon. The thin ripstop nylon laminated fabric breathes enough during rain conditions so your skin won’t become clammy. The oversize gauntlets slide on easily and allow a secure grip when used over your regular (crash protective) gloves. An elastic drawcord with a tethered cordlock keeps them in place. Hook & loop wrist cinches are ergonomically reversed and easier to use.

They pack very small, so you’ll always have them ready. There’s Scotchlite reflective for nighttime hand signaling, and a left thumb visor squeegee. To work best, size to fit over regular crash protective gloves. For glove sizes S or 7-8, use a size M. For glove sizes M/L or 9-10, use a size L. For size XL or 11+, use size XL. Orange, Black, or Yellow. M–XL. Specify color.

For tube tires. 6 patches and rubber cement.

This is the ultimate compact emergency tire service kit. Packs small, and includes everything you need to make quality repairs on the road and refill your tires when you are finished. Includes cement, patches and plugs for repairing both tube and tubeless tires, a rasp and needle tool for installing the strip-type plugs into tubeless tires, and five 16g CO2 cartridges with an adjustable air chuck that accepts a flexible valve adapter hose to refill your tires. For tube tire repairs, tire irons are needed to remove the tire from the rim (Aerostich Tar Arns (#3564), available separately). Zippered nylon pouch. 7"×4"×2", 18 oz.

Small enough to take on all your road trips, these pack into a built-in self-storing pocket about the size of your hand. Overall, it’s half the size of the next smallest full-coverage cover because it’s made from a thinner, lighter fabric. The strong opaque 2 oz siliconized ripstop nylon is plenty tough and keeps water and dust off your bike... it’s widely used in parachutes, sailboat spinnakers, kites and skysails.

The integrated elastic cinch cord tightly snugs all covers close to your bike so it won’t blow off during a breeze, and additional grommets allow for further binding or tying down. The Aerostich label is purposefully placed at the front bottom center, right on the hem, so it’s easy to find the front of the cover.

For improving overnight security at the seediest, darkest motel parking lot, the self-storing pocket on the hem of the cover also doubles as a portable battery powered motion-detecting alarm holder, to scare the pants off of whoever wants to take a peak at what’s below.

Large size covers loaded GS1100’s, Gold Wings and other dreadnought sized machines. Medium fits all sportbikes, standards, dual sports, and sport touring bikes with smaller windshields. Small fits scooters. Seat Saver model fits all bikes, covering vital areas of instrument pod, handlebars, gas tank and seat. Black.

Made from 2oz/sq yd silicone coated Cordura® 33d ripstop nylon.

This is a simple, functional piece of rider’s clothing. The Face Fairing has a hook & loop closure tab that adjustably fits most neck sizes. It can be worn in two positions: like a cowboy outrider, draped low around the neck to warm and protect the chest; or drawn over the nose and mouth when protection from the elements is needed. We now make them with a softer and more comfortable windproof/water resistant WINDSTOPPER® fabric. Hypotenuse 24", Base 16". (XL version hypotenuse is 26".) Black or red.

Here’s a handy, inexpensive way to easily mount switches, accessories and other such farkle to your motorcycle. Find the desired mounting location and zip into place with the included heavy-duty mounting strap. (You may also use a worm-type stainless hose clamp, not included.) Includes 4 mounts, 8 straps and 8 pieces of shrink tube wrap. Place the shrink tube near the lock and it will grip your handlebars a lot tighter. 1/4" diameter mounting hole.

You’ll quickly become addicted to this face shield squeegee. Made of a stretchy silicone material that easily conforms to the thumb or index finger of your left hand, VeeWipes make riding in the rain safer. Pack contains two sizes (one each) to fit most glove sizes and thicknesses. Trim with a scissors for a custom fit.

The two little .5 oz bottles are a nice flat, oval shape so they pack flat in any pocket. These won’t leak or spill like tiny pump sprays can, either. One’s got a windshield cleaner, the other is “Protectall” (#4796), a fabulous all-purpose cleaner and polish. Also included are a microfiber cleaning cloth and a compact 3"×5" Cordura carrying case. An indispensable shield cleaning kit that packs small enough carry along on every ride, ready for use at a moments notice. No excuses.

Made in America 

Yes, I do use our little face shield kit. And for some reason don’t miss the ’spray pump’ component. Over the last few years I've become more squeamish about using the filthy windshield cleaning tools in the dirty water out by the gas pumps. I was fine doing that for years but now what I do is take some of the paper towels off the pump island and jam them into my helmet and use the sink in the rest room to clean my helmet. This takes a little more time but at least I’m getting clean water. I don’t use the Protect-All wax (one bottle has windex and the other Protect-All) during the day. I usually apply a fresh coat at night after the day’s ride is over. My last trip was six road days and four motel nights (to-and-from NYC the slow way) so I did the wax treatment four times. When it rains on a Protect-All’d face shield it’s almost as good as Armor-All, and bug splats are also easier to remove.

These seam sealed waterproof containers provide great lightweight storage and instant access to tents, sleeping bags, sweaters, road food, or anything else. They’re the fastest way to carry items in a “bedroll” shape without having to fight a long, narrow drybag or stuffsack. Full length Therm-a-Rest pads lay right inside with room for a pair of sandals on the side. The end-to-end waterproof zipper makes them dry enough for all-day torrential rains yet super easy to access. 160 Cordura fabric makes them super durable. All-time favorites. Specify Medium (4"×22"×4") or Medium Long (4"×26"×4") and Large (6"×22"×6") or Large Long (6"×26"×6"). Choose Black or Hi-Viz.

A functional merging of the style and waterproofness of Waxed Cotton, with the exceedingly useful features and detailed quality of Aerostich Messenger Bags. All sizes are constructed with a seamless bottom for maximum durability. Inside each bag is a usefully sized organizer pocket and “clip-on” key loop.

This continues to improve with use.

More than common and generic ‘outdoor’ fleece jackets, these are both tailored and engineered for riding. Each Aerostich fleece jacket is made right alongside the Roadcrafters and Dariens, and is designed to work perfectly within all of your riding gear. It’s a warm, draft-blocking, comfortable, lightweight layer of insulation perfect for three and four season rides. They wear wonderfully off-the-bike, too.

The details make a difference you can feel. We start with genuine Polarfleece (The original…there are many inferior copies) and YKK zippers. Each collar is tapered for more comfort with a helmet strap and the sleeve diameter is trimmed down for less bulk under riding gear. Sleeves are more forward rotated, too. And the long underarm ventilation zippers match Roadcrafter suits. Durable Lycra/nylon bindings at the hem and sleeves are comfortable and stop drafts without absorbing water.

The torso is also a bit shorter in front and longer in back for a better fit, and the sleeves are usefully a bit longer than you’ll find in typical fleece jackets. Zippered inside and outside chest pockets secure valuables like wallets, and zippered side pockets are placed slightly forward for easier access. A quick-draw inner chest pocket is ideal for sunglasses or a bandanna.

A high-warmth, low-bulk jacket that will become your favorite the first time you put it on. Machine wash. S–XXL. Made in USA

A more packable version of the original fleece electric vest. Like that model, this version is also a most reliable, comfortably warm, hard-wearing electrically heated vest.

You'll appreciate its warmth, ultra-compactness and draft-stopping efficiency the minute you slip it on. It's also the least restrictive to wear beneath a closely fitted jacket or riding suit. Two pockets: one for storing the power cord and one that the entire vest stuffs into, forming a neat, compact pillow. Includes: fused, lighted coil cord hookup and power switch. 45 watts / 3.3 amps (works with all BMW standard power outlets). Specify QuiConnect 2, SAE or BMW connectors.

WINDSTOPPER® fabric is 100% windproof and half as thick as TLTec Wind Blocker fleece. Black. S-XXL.

If you’ve ever encountered the charmingly termed “evaporative recovery nozzles” at gas stations, you know what a semi-spastic wrestling match with one of these flammable-spewing horses appendages can be like. All you’re trying to do is refuel your motorcycle, right? However, for those of us so afflicted, this nozzle key artfully retracts the corrugated... forepart of said alloy proboscis and allows you to gas your bike with a minimum of fuss and splatter.

It also provides an immediate ‘aaaahhh-oooohhh’ skin relief on (or after) tough rides.

This all-in-one leather treatment restores and protects your smooth-leather footwear against harsh conditions. Its durable formula replaces lost tanning oils to maintain flexibility, while forming a water-resistant barrier to keep feet dry even in severe weather. Easily applied with the included dauber, it’s ideal for work boots, hiking boots, motorcycle boots, western boots, and more (not for suede or nubuck). Expect some darkening—always spot-test first—and reapply as needed to sustain protection and suppleness.

These are not one of those Amazon-cheap crappy tripod stools from some nameless company in China. This stool comes from Sweden, where timeless engineering, function and decades-long durability are a priority. Introduced more than thirty years ago, this is the smallest, strongest, most lightweight, versatile, take-it-anywhere high-tech sitting tool available. Its comfortable seat area is made of ripstop nylon mesh and easily supports up to 500 lbs. These stools work well for hard use in your garage, and will make doing jobs like changing your bike’s engine oil or balancing a newly mounted tire a whole lot easier, especially if your work space doesn’t include a motorcycle shop lift. They are also great when camping and there’s no convent log right next to a campfire. Comes with a durable carrying pouch. Made in Sweden to last forever. Hard-to-find, costs more and worth it. The Volvo of camp stools. Three extendable heights to choose from 18", 22" or 26" (fyi your kitchen chairs typically have a sitting height of 18”).

This one is FUN! Several really neat short stories, and believe-it-or not a bunch of straightforward well-crafted poetry that will make you smile even if you’ve never ever-ever met a poem you’ve liked before. This is real, authentic moto-life from the inside, humbly written in a no-apologies, kick-ass bluntly funny style, by a long-time racer, mechanic and motorcycle shop business guy from the Bay Area. He’s literate as hell and calls them all just as they are, from cycle-bums, bikes and racers encountered, to the everyday moto-life experiences you’ll absolutely recognize.

Made strong enough to be practically bullet proof. Very suitable for moto-campings everyday knocks and bounces. The wide opening and graduations on the side make it easy to mix drinks and soups.
