get him a nice helmet, and some ridding gloves.
maybe a wind shield if the bike doesnt have one allready. good pair of high ankle boots wont hurt either

My 60 year old father just bought a 1983 Yamaha Virago. He has a birthday coming up, and he's so excited about his first motorcycle, I wanted to get him something cool that has to do with his new toy.

I don't know much about bikes, but does anyone have any ideas (apparel, fancy parts, etc.) for a gift that I could get him?

Thank you!!
 
Get him a Yamaha service manual. I'm not saying his new(to him) bike is a POS, I'm just saying a bike with some years and perhaps miles will need all the TLC he can give. I would imagine he has done his homework on the bike and if it were in bad shape he wouldn't have bought it. Every owner/rider needs a service manual to keep it that way, and they're worth every penny. First go to My Yamaha and start a free account. They are still in print: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/myyamaha/login/L3Nwb3J0L215eWFtYWhhL2hvbWUuYXNweA==/starthere.aspx
