Motorcycle question for a mans Bday...?

Question

I am just wondering what would you recommend me get for my husband who just recently purchased a motorcycle. He bought a YAMAHA YZF-R6 2006. What is something I could get him to go with that bike that he would like. He has a bike jacket helmet and all that stuff. I asked him what he wanted he said "I dunno something for the bike would be fine" so....Any help???

Answer 1

It all depends on your price range.  For about $75 you can get a new windshield from Puig that's taller than stock (if he's tall like me, he probably has trouble seeing under the stock one).  The dark smoke color one also adds a really mean look to the bike.  $150 will get some very nice aftermarket clutch and brake levers (ASV or Pazzo) or a small slip on exhaust pipe from Akrapovic (this would be a very cool gift).  $275 will get you a power commander, which is a computer that reconfigures the fuel system for more power.  $350 will get you a set of rearsets from Vortex (where you rest your feet when you ride, and all of the shift linkage and brake lever).  $1,000 will get you a full exhaust system (let him pick which one, though - he has to like it).  Good luck!        

Answer 2

A Yamaha paddock jacket so he can pose around in it when he aint on the bike.

Answer 3

a new slip-on exhaust or heated grips  

Answer 4

I personally don't like them, but frame sliders seem to be a popular accessory for sport bikers these days.  

The smooth under tail sections look cool on that bike, combined with the license plate relocator.  Plus you can find them on ebay painted to match already.

A subscription to sport rider magazine would be cool, also a gift card for where he likes to get his accessories from.  

Answer 5

a bike cover, maybe

Answer 6

how about the MSF course if he's new, else, let him pick something out on yamahas website.

Answer 7

Maybe this can give you some ideas, if not you can always call your local yamaha dealer and get ideas and tips from them. Sometimes a gift card is good too.http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/access...

Answer 8

Gotta go with the gift card at your local Yamaha dealer that carries parts, accessories, and apparel.....let him have fun getting exactly what he wants.

Answer 9

gloves, clutch ends, new slip on the exhaust, tinted visor

Answer 10

pose sexie on his scoot and have the pic made into a poster so he can look at both his loves at once

Answer 11

Get him a gas card. Or a gift card to cycle gear. You could go buy a yamaha bikini set and let him see you in it on the bike. Every man wants some nookie on his birthday. this way he'll think of you everytime he rides it.

Maybe a tank mount cam or helmet cam.

Answer 12

rice goes well with other japanese exports

Answer 13

Get him a gift card for the yamaha dealership and let him have fun getting what he wants.

Answer 14

Gremlin Bell. These are to prevent road gremlins from attaching themselves to his bike. This is not some fad and an old practice. You are supposed to buy gremlin bells for a rider for the most power, technically the tradition has always been for someone to buy the bells for you and avoid buying them for yourself. Do some searching on the subject and see. Regardless of how you feel, about Gremlins, protection, or anything mystical or with mystical powers...the point is you are buying something personal for him that demonstrates your love and care. No part or accessory is as personal or has so much meaning behind it as these. These bells can represent something as obvious as it seems, but the truth is it represents your love and when it tingles of rings... he will know...  

You can believe that the bell will trap the gremlins, irritate them and make them fall off, or you can believe that the bell is a gift and a symbol of your love, and what bad spirits could affect that or want to?
