- Anti-fog coated lens = clear vision, moto after moto

2. Quad Lock Motorcycle Vibration Dampener: The Phone Saver
Price: $24.99 | Shop Quad Lock Motorcycle Vibration Dampener
A small add-on for a rider who already uses a Quad Lock motorcycle mount. It's compatible with all Quad Lock motorcycle mounts, the weatherproof wireless charging head and the motorcycle USB charger.
What's in the box:
- Vibration dampener with glass-filled nylon upper and lower chassis
- Precision-engineered silicone dampening grommets
- Allen (hex) key and a pre-installed M5x12 countersunk screw
The same secure lock works in portrait or landscape. It measures 23mm high and 60.3mm wide.
Gift tip: This is an add-on, not a mount. If the rider doesn't have a Quad Lock mount yet, bring the bike by or tell us the model and we'll confirm which mount fits the handlebar, mirror stem, clutch perch or fork stem.
3. Maxima Synthetic Chain Care Kit: The Maintenance Gift
Price: $38.99 | Shop Maxima Synthetic Chain Care Kit
Three aerosol cans in one kit for cleaning and lubricating a chain, for off-road and street use. It's the gift for the rider who keeps saying they'll get to the chain this weekend.
What's in the kit:
- 15.5 oz Clean-Up degreaser = washes out with water
- 14.5 oz MPPL multi-purpose penetrating lube = a barrier against rust and corrosion, and displaces moisture
- 14 oz Synthetic Chain Guard = lets lube get to the inner pins and rollers and resists fling-off
Gift tip: Tell us the rider's chain type and bike and we'll confirm the kit fits how they ride. See all chain care kits.
4. Pinlock Earplug Set w/Case: The Highway Hearing Saver
- Several sizes in the set = a better fit
- Directional hearing = music and calls still come through an installed Bluetooth headset
- Comes with a case = easy to keep in a jacket pocket
5. Hats: The Off-Bike Pick

6. ProTaper 1 1/2" Tie-Down: The Practical Hauler
Price: $49.99 | Shop ProTaper 1 1/2" Tie-Down
A 1.5-inch wide, 84-inch long tie-down with an industrial-strength non-slip cam lock, in black with official ProTaper branding.
Why riders pick it:
- 1,200 lbs. straight tension strength
- Patent-pending spring-loaded swivel carabiner base hook = helps keep the strap from twisting or coming unhooked in hard-to-reach places
- Soft hook loops = prevent handlebar scratching
- Hook-and-loop securing strap = fastens the straps together
Gift tip: Check the strap rating against the bike before you haul, and ask us if you're not sure.
Questions Gift-Givers Ask
What if I don't know their size? Hats (go with a snapback), the vibration dampener, the earplug set, the chain care kit and the tie-down all skip sizing.
Can I return a gift that doesn't work out? Riding gear and apparel can be returned or exchanged if it's new, unused and unwashed, with packaging and tags intact. Electrics aren't returnable.
Can I pick it up locally? Yes. In-store pickup is available at 7902 W. Broad St., Richmond, VA 23294. Online orders ship to Virginia addresses.
The Bottom Line
Under-$50 gifts don't have to feel like filler. Each of these six solves a small, real problem for a rider, and none of them needs a size chart. Bring in old gear for 15% off, and we match advertised prices on new products from local and online competitors (certain restrictions apply).
