This strong, light, easy to carry throttle and brake lock will scream like a banshee if anyone tries to move your bike. And carries in a jacket pocket! Illuminated blue LED light blinks when armed and the built-in high-precision tilt sensor shrieks out a 110dB alert (in 15 second intervals) if your bike is moved. Die-cast and thick high-strength resin body design is extremely resilient to cutting, prying and impact. Lever position lock adjusts to fit almost any bike. Keyed lock is covered by weatherproof dust cap. Includes 2 keys. Power supplied by 3 long-life button cell batteries (included). 6.5"x2.5"x2". Weighs 1lb 2oz.

These pressurized (nitrogen-filled) ball points were actually developed so astronauts could write in outer space, but they are equally wonderful for marking damp maps, writing on soggy paper placemats, or philosophizing on greasy bathroom walls. The Bullet model has a removable clip, and a short, smoothly-rounded shape that lets you carry it in the front pocket of your jeans without getting stabbed in the thigh (3.6" closed, 5.3" open) Specify: Chrome, Black finish or Solid Brass. And back in the day the ol’ Russians had to use pencils.

The unfortunate reality is those of us who choose two-wheeled transportation are outnumbered on the roadways by drivers sealed inside 4000lb glass and steel cages. They are often oblivious and frequently distracted. 100% cotton. M-XX. Grey. Made in America.

The ultra light-weight, 100% carbon fiber buckle is stronger than steel and looks cool. A nylon web belt compliments the unique styling of the black carbon fiber buckle. Infinitely adjustable design allows it to be used for more than just holding up your pants - go ahead, use it as a high-class tie down strap! Metal free so it’s good to wear if having to deal with any aggravating airport or border security checkpoints. High tech meets high style in this high function belt. 1.25" wide. Waist sizes: M (32-38) L (38-42), Black.

A coil cord for connecting the vest to the motorcycle. The ultimate in simplicity and reliability. Remains flexible in all temperatures. Stretches from 1.5'–5'.

Eat, drink, measure, store and collapse for easy storage with this unique 22 fl. oz. Mug. Silicone mug collapses to 1.7” high disc. Multi purpose folding handle. Sure-sealing clear polypropylene lid securely screws into the rim to keep meals or beverages in. 7.1”x5.4”x1.7”, 7 oz. Green or Blue.

Attaches to the crossbar on dual sport bikes with side release buckles. Clear on both sides: flips over for twice the viewing area. Unique design folds out of the way or detaches with gloves on, and does not flap in the wind. The world’s best way to carry a map. Small only (7.7"×6").

Far better than 'afterthought' jacket liners. More durable, comfortable, functional and versatile.

Their reversible design includes seven purposeful pockets in a black Supernyl fabric shell, including dual hand-warmer pockets, a side entry drop-in ergonomic left side chest pocket, a top opening chest pocket on the right side, two large zippered compartments behind each hand warmer pocket and a large zippered pocket across the lower back that the entire jacket to self-stores neatly within for packing and travel. Inside-out when packed, with integrated webbing loops so it may be safely attached to your bike, or worn on a belt like a fanny pack. Also works well as a sleeping or reading pillow when camping.

The wearable-both-ways liner also features underarm zips which perfectly match those on Darien jackets to provide superior venting adjustability and more comfort across a wider temperature range. You'll also appreciate the handlebar-friendly longer sleeve lengths, a just-right collar height and the comfortable stretch knit wrists and waist.

Because they are reversible this liner may be worn fleece-on-the-inside for great air-trapping warmth, or reversed to help it slip on or off faster within a Darien (or any other) outer jacket.

The grey TLTec Wind Pro model features a thick, dense 200 wt. wind resistant “super fleece” which is extremely breathable yet provides 4x better insulation and more draft resistance than common department store fleeces.

The blue TLTec Wind Blocker version is made with a slightly thinner and even more highly windproof 100 wt. fleece that offers 2X faster moisture wicking than other windproof fleeces, while retaining good breathability for all day comfort. It's also marginally more compact-to-pack. Because of its slightly more wind-blocking TL Tec, it also offers a bit higher insulation level (as measured in lab testing) than the noticeably thicker Wind Pro model.

Wear either as a cold weather comfort layer inside a Darien Jacket, or alone as a casual/off-bike jacket. Wherever you are going, both eliminate some of the weight and bulk of traditional liners, and both are equally long-use durable. They both feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish to keep you drier and more comfortable thru the wettest conditions.

Either version will wear a good deal warmer than you'd expect on cool mornings, and both compliment a Darien jacket perfectly. With all new Darien jacket construction an optional zip-in liner zipper (#375) is available at no charge, but most wearers prefer to simply wear these together, without this complication. It's faster and easier. Machine washable. Sizes 36-54.

Integrated deceleration-sensing technology illuminates this tail light bulb even when you downshift or slow without applying any braking force. Automatically brightens alerting traffic behind you of reduced speed while decreasing the chance of a rear-end collision. Apply brakes and it functions just like your standard brake light system. Patented design integrates auto-recharging, self-powered capacitors with self-activating technology and long-life LED lamps. Fits most motorcycles, replacing any standard 1154 (6 Volt) or 1157 (12 Volt) type bulb (with the exception of rear-loading lamps). CAN Bus compatible. Rated to last up to 5 years.

Very comfortable and easy to wear—just like Elkskin, but made of slightly thinner medium weight deerskin so they’re ideal for casual, everyday rides, especially commuting and touring. No break-in needed; they will be as comfortable as prewashed denim the moment you put them on. Because they’re so light, absorbent and soft, they provide great control feel. Nimble enough to pick a coin off a table, yet strong enough for riding protection. The insulated versions have 3M Thinsulate and a brushed nylon lining, so they are perfect for spring and fall wear. Full and half sizes for a better and more precise fit. For insulated gloves, order 1/2 size larger than non-insulated version to ensure proper fit. Both styles feature thumb visor squeegee.

Gauntlets increase the coverage and work better in cool riding conditions. Tuck ‘em in or pull ‘em over. Full and half sizes, Regular (#424) size 7-11, Insulated (#425) size 8-12.

Your favorite gloves. You just can’t ride anywhere without them. When they finally wear out, it feels like you’ve lost a friend. Made of natural tan medium to heavy weight elkskin, they are thicker, stronger and more abrasion resistant than deerhide and they’ll last much longer.

Built for cowboy and ag work, they’re tough enough for barbed wire fencing, yet sensitive enough to accurately handle a lariat. The snap cuff will slightly gauntlet over most jackets or close to let wind in your sleeves on a hot day. The left thumb is equipped with a visor squeegee made of resilient squeegee material.

All California Highway Patrol Motorcycle Officers (and many other depts.) wear Elkskin gloves 8-10 hours a day, week in and week out. You too will experience how right they are the minute you put them on and grab the clutch lever. These are the best gloves for serious combat touring adventures you’ll ever wear. Full and half sizes 7-13 (sizes 11.5 and 12.5 not available) Black may bleed slightly when wet.

Fixing Santa's Cycle, A Christmas Adventure

From 1928 to 1955 Vincent motorcycles were made in Stevenage, England. All over the world riders still cherish these bikes for their beauty and speed.

When Santa needs help fixing his Vincent, two young mechanics come to his rescue in this charming holiday tale.

It’s a bright taillight…until you hit the brakes. Then, it flashes four times fast—pauses—three flashes a little slower—pauses—two more real slow, and it’s on full time as a stop light. The entire flash/pause sequence takes 4 seconds and repeats each time you re-apply the brakes. This complex pattern is commonly and intuitively recognized as a deceleration warning. The bulb’s reliable digital electronics are all contained inside the bulbs base. Choose from widely available, easily replaceable “G-4” halogen bulb version (easy to carry spare bulb is also included), upgrade to long life LED option, or select the dual ballast CAN-bus compatible model for most modern BMW's. Fits standard 1157 dual filament brake/taillight bulb sockets. Legal disclaimer: May not be approved for use in all states.

Advanced anti-fog protection. These single use packets will be ready when you need them on a chilly morning or at a rainy gas stop. Five single use packets.

They’re not kidding about the “Blaster” part. This horn generates a shattering 132 decibels and will likely get just about anybody’s attention, even if they happen to be ensconced in a giant SUV with a phone glued to their ear. And that, of course, is a good thing...we all know that stock motorcycle horns are at times rather underwhelming. Fix all that and let ‘em know you’re there with this important safety device. Available in High and Low tone versions. If you are using only one, go with the low tone. 12V. 10A. 3.5"×3.5"×2.5".

This stress-relieving measure will keep you riding longer, with less distraction. Made of super premium leather with a Kevlar reinforced palm and a soft Bemberg lining on the backside, the sport version features an extended gauntlet with a hook & loop closure and an adjustable leather strap. Black. S-XL.

An amazingly clever, simple solution to relieve wrist fatigue on long rides. Installs over any throttle grip in seconds, no tools required. The patented smart-clip tension design locks easily into place against the brake lever to maintain your cruising speed, without the need to hold the throttle. Disengaging is as easy as returning the throttle to a closed position or giving the brake lever a squeeze. High-mile rides just got a little more comfortable. Two sizes: Small (7/8", for Street and Sport Bikes), Large (1", for Cruisers). Black.

This heated grip kit is the most powerful one available.  Yet installs neatly and perfectly and easily under your bike’s original or aftermarket grips. This is our favorite for serious cold-weather riding situations and features two-stage heat control (HI/LO) with a convenient round rocker switch for quick adjustments on the go. The complete kit includes two adhesive-backed heating elements, a hi/lo switch, a shrink-wrap insulation layer for the clutch side of the handlebars, wiring and mounting hardware, and full instructions for an easy install. You’ll also find plenty of DIY install videos on YouTube.  With a total output of 40 watts on hi, while drawing only 3 amps, these deliver dependable warmth in really cold conditions without overloading your bike’s electrical system.

Handy kits that contain every size shrink wrap you need. Has over 100, 4" long pieces from 1/16"–3/8" diameter.

A flexible, adhesive, wrap-around heating element with printed-circuit-type elements that fit between the handlebar and grip, keeping your digits from turning into frozen turkey feet during cold weather rides. These have been a popular way to make any bike more all-season rideable for years. Installation is DIY easy, and there are plenty of YouTube tutorials to follow online. Includes two heating elements, wiring, resistor (for hi-low function, and an on/off, hi/lo switch. Effective way to have warm hands, which helps the rest of your body be warmer, too.  A great comfort as well as a safety enhancer. For 12V systems. On "hi" they draw only 2 amps and make 27-29 watts of hand-warming heat. Installation takes only about an hour on most bikes.

A simple back-to-back tape, hook on one side, loop on the other, laminated together into an infinitely useful strip. Like double stick tape, when you wrap it around something and then back on itself, it sticks, and also un-sticks and re-sticks over and over. Retains ample shear strength. Could you find a use for this stuff? Thought so. Can be easily cut to different widths and lengths without unraveling. Wonderful for securing radar/gps type things to mounting brackets and for strapping down wires and cables as a re-usable zip tie, but thousands of other uses, too. Features HTH 888 and 889 types, with the world famous style 22 hook. Two kinds (both black, both 1""×36""): Standard is thinner and more flexible (but slightly less strength), or Heavyweight is thicker, bulkier (but stiffer/stronger) for bigger and heavier stuff.

This matchbook-sized unit allows you to accurately monitor ambient humidity and temperature at the same time on its easy-to-read oversized display. Can stand on its own or stick to any surface with included double-stick tape. Operates on one watch battery (included). Really fun to see the humidity slowly increase from many miles away to 90% or more as you approach rain. Note: not "extreme waterproof" unless modified. (Disassemble, silicone seal.) 2"×1.5"×.6", 1 oz.

A hand kneadable, steel-reinforced epoxy putty adhesive/sealant that will plug holes and make permanent repairs on wet and dry surfaces. It can be drilled, sanded, filed, tapped, machined, and painted. This Herculean-strong putty cures in 20–30 minutes, even while completely submerged under water or gasoline(!). Just pinch off as much as you need. 2 oz.
