The holiday season is here, and it’s time to find the perfect gifts for the motorcycle enthusiast in your life! Whether your loved one is a seasoned biker or a weekend rider, these unique and practical motorcycle gift ideas will rev up their holiday spirit and keep them riding safely and stylishly all year long.

1. Custom Motorcycle Bobblehead

Surprise your favorite rider with a personalized motorcycle bobblehead crafted from their photo. This fun and memorable keepsake is perfect for any biker’s desk or garage and makes a great conversation starter.

2. Personalized 3D Miniature Motorcycle Model

Go beyond the bobblehead with a custom 3D figurine of your rider and their bike. These detailed models are a fantastic way to celebrate their passion and make for a unique display piece.

3. Biker Couple Motorcycle Ornament

Looking for a motorcycle-themed Christmas ornament? Choose a personalized biker couple ornament featuring two riders on a bike. It’s a great way to add some biker flair to your holiday tree.

4. Motorcycle Metal Wall Décor

Motorcycle wall art is a popular gift for riders who love to decorate their garage, man cave, or living space. Choose from personalized metal signs featuring their name and bike model or opt for LED-lit designs for extra impact.

5. Membership in Motorcycle Advocacy Groups (AMA or MRF)

Support your rider’s rights by gifting a membership to the American Motorcycle Association (AMA) or the Motorcycle Riders Foundation (MRF). These organizations fight for motorcyclist rights, offer discounts, emergency towing, and even insurance benefits. Keeping up with motorcycle legislation and safety is crucial for every rider.

American Motorcycle Association – Membership does not only help in the political arena but also include discounts on products and emergency towing.  The AMA is the largest motorcycle lobbyist group.

Motorcycle Rider Foundation – In addition to their pro-motorcycle lobbying efforts membership will get you a $4000 AD&D insurance policy and regular weekly/monthly updates on what is going on in Washington DC.

6. Motorcycle Cleaning Equipment

Help your biker keep their ride looking sharp with new cleaning supplies. If their current gear is worn out, upgrade them with high-quality products. For quick clean-ups between rides, I recommend Bugslide—an easy-to-use cleaner that I personally endorse (not sponsored).

7. Custom Dynamics Motorcycle Lights

Enhance safety and style with Custom Dynamics motorcycle lights. Their ProBeam LED Turn Signals are super bright and fit many models. I’ve used them on three bikes and highly recommend them for visibility and eye-catching looks.

8. Motorcycle Shop Manual

A shop manual for your rider’s specific make and model is a practical gift. Even if they don’t do their own repairs, having the manual helps them understand maintenance needs before heading to the shop.

9. Lip Balm & Sunscreen for Riders

Don’t forget the essentials! Replace that old stick of lip balm or expired sunscreen in your biker’s saddlebag. These small items make a big difference on long rides and help protect against the elements.

Why These Motorcycle Gifts Stand Out

These motorcycle gift ideas combine personalization, practicality, and safety—making them perfect for every type of rider. From custom keepsakes to essential gear and advocacy, you’ll find something to suit every budget and style.

Not sure how this happened…. But when I was preparing my posts on our trip to Custom Dynamics (Part 1 and Part 2) I noticed that I had never posted my review and installation video of their RINGZ front turn signals. Sooo better late than never I guess.

**** From June 2015****
I have been noticing that a few other bikes turn signals are a lot brighter as runningijustwant2ride lights and turn signals, so I started investigating. Turns out those bright lights are the Custom Dynamics RINGZ turn signal inserts.

The RINGZ are super bright LED inserts which replace the standard bulbs in the turn signals. After checking them out I bought a set for my front signals, with a Harley Davidson Ultra there are no “normal” rear signals for the RINGS to replace.

Easy to follow instructions. Below is a video of how I replaced them on my bike.

WP_20150617_19_22_10_ProAs far as the product review goes….WOW!!! I was a big dummy and forgot to take a before photo but these things are bright. In their white running light mode, they are as bright, it seems, as my passing lamps which are LED as well. I also must point out that riding at night I seem to get a bit greater lighting left and right, not much but some. In turn signal or emergency flasher mode the Custom Dynamic RINGZ are far and away superior to the standard bulbs.

I am going to give the Custom Dynamics RINGZ LED Turn Signals a 5-star review. Super bright and ease of installation make these a must have if your bike supports them.

5 star

As noted above in the Part 1 post I now have their new ProBeam turn signals and those suckers are even brighter then the RINGZ!

Recently Debbie and I took a 570+ mile round trip to visit the headquarters of motorcycle aftermarket lighting manufacture Custom Dynamics.  If you are a regular to this blog you know that, after buying and installing several of their products, I am a fan of what they produce.

Every now and again I check the Custom Dynamics website to see what new products they are offering.  This time I discovered they have new light for the Harley Davidson Rushmore motorcycles, one that fits into the fairing air vent.  The LED Light Kit for HD Bat Wing Fairing is both a bright running light and turn indicator.

Debbie talking with Karen

I was just getting to the point of hitting enter on the order button when the “light bulb” (bad pun #1) came on over my head.  I was hoping that I could get a couple blog posts while shining a light (pun #2) on Custom Dynamics.

I contacted Custom Dynamics via their twitter account (Erin) and asked if I could ride down to check out the facility, products and talk to them about the companies’ history and where they are going. After a bit of back and forth we received an invitation to visit.

Arriving at a non-descript building with no signage we were not sure we were in the ijustwant2rideright place at first.  We meet with our point of contact, Karen, who had us ride into warehouse so the technicians could start the work.

While they were working I had an enlightening (pun #3) conversation with both Karen and the techs.  Turns out they have expanded the warehouse, doubling its size, and were now filling the new space. I am not surprised, like I said earlier they make a good product.

Ijustwant2rideTalking with the techs I asked how many installs they do at the different rallies and events that they attend.  This year they have estimate that they have installed over 3000 items and the season is not over yet.

While they were installing the new vent lights they decided to toss in new turn signal lights.  Now I was very pleased with the “Ringz” light I installed a few years ago, but WOW the new “ProBeam” turn signal insert lights seem to be a magnitude brighter. It was at that point Dave, the owner of Custom Dynamics, stopped in.

Talking with Dave I got the impression that he would be a guy I would like to hang out with or have as a neighbor.  We had a good conversation and a good interview about where the company came from, and where it is going…. But you will have to check in for part 2 for the rest of the story.

Click to enlarge but even with that you cannot understand how bright they are!!
