Without knowing what he already has and how deep into them he goes, it is impossible to make that call.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.

Yeah - not enough info really.
But if he's into Suzuki's and Kawasaki's he's obviously not a fag so maybe a track day somewhere?

If he's a wrencher, this CarbMate makes syncing the carbs (or throttle bodies) super easy. JMO

Re: Gearhead related gifts
Think about a procedure he cant perform because he needs a specific tool
Also cost range
I have 2 drill doctors
this one
and a less expensive one
Left hand drill bits are handy tools
and a drill doctor left hand drill bit adapter

Re: Gearhead related gifts
Lol good points. He’s mostly into cafe racer type builds 60s70s bikes, and similar era enduro bikes. Good example I just helped him pick up a 74 dt400 he likes that type of stuff .

If he's into cafe racers he needs to watch Ichiban Moto for his tech tips: https://www.youtube.com/c/ichibanmotoDeedubforum wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 10:26 pmLol good points.
