Motorcycle Cover Recommendations

[jld2872]

Can I draw upon the collective experience of our members for a recommendation for a decent, lightweight cover that's easy to cope with (packs small, easy, etc.) on the road? Thanks!

I've seen these for years at rallies and finally picked one up in West Bend. They seem to be the favourite for a "travel" cover: http://www.eztouring.com/

I've gone through three of these over the years, they were pretty good. My last one leaked rain when it was brand new and I had to spray it down with sealer so it wouldn't. Recently, I went with a Nelson-Rigg cover which is half the price, better features, and similar material at the EZtouring:

I haven't had it out in the rain yet, so it's performance remains to be seen, but it's a nice cover.

I use the dowco ultralight. I got mine from derby cycles for about $50.00. Seems to be a great product escpecially for the money. Works great and packs up pretty small. I use a compression stuff sack to get it as small as possible. http://www.derbycycles.com/cgi-bin/eShop/index.cgi?exact_match=yes&product=&subbcat=Covers

I bought a cover at WalMart. $21, light weight, storage pouch, hasn't leaked yet.

No longer budding, in full bloom.

I like the little Aerostitch. It packs small enough for travel.

I went through this a couple of months back.

I wanted a light cover for my bike when it sat in the parking lot at work. I did'nt really need something heavy duty that might be used for constant outdoor storage.

I ended uo getting the Nelson Riggs half cover and it works great. Protects from the sun and dust and pretty decent in the rain too. Comes packed in it's own fanny pack and was only $39 shipped on-line.

Nelson Riggs

+1 for the Nelson Riggs light weight cover. Packs into a smaller than football sized bag and protects real well. I believe they are new this year.

+1 Love my EZ touring cover and it still looks good after four years. The folks that make them are super nice people to deal with as well.
