Ultra-Light Weight Motorcycle Cover

[globalrider]

I could have sworn I asked this several months ago. Just could not find it.

Looking for a light weight motorcycle cover (full coverage) for my 2016 R1200 GS Adventure. With or without BMW aluminum side cases in place. I always have a GiVi E52, so I realize the cover might ride high.

The type that fits a small bag...like a shoe bag for example. Sort of like the one my friend got from Aerostich, but I'd like other options.

Thanks!

I use a cheap Nelson Rigg that I bought 7 years ago. It's lasted with only using while on the road for overnights and still good as new.

Came here to type this. Durable and they pack super small.

December ON page 24-25 (digital at link below), page 22-23 hard copy, describes 6 different covers.

They made a mistake on the EZ Touring cover.
They describe the Half Cover but show the Full Cover.

Mine fully covers my RTs, top box, panniers, tank bag, tire to tire, ground to ground and yes, it does pack small.

We had the same color for Tina's RS's cover. She had a Pearl White/Turqoise seat 93.5.

Of the covers listed, I am assuming the Wanderer Full Motorcycle Cover. They also recommend sizes, but which one do you use on the GSA?

What size fits your GSA?

 

[globalrider]

Nobody using Dowco? I have their heavy duty indoor cover. Well made along with their helmet bags.

The have a Light and Ultra-Light cover.

Another vote for The Traveler Half Cover. https://eztouring.com/product/the-traveler-motorcycle-cover/ . I have two of them; one I've had for many decades, and recently bought a new cover for my R1250RT.

I’d recommend giving them a call— I’m sure they can advise on size based upon past customer experience. Personally, I use the Traveler (half cover) on my GS as well as my GT as I don’t feel I need a full cover.

There's an article about covers in the December issue of Owners News.

Traveler A or Traveler B?

Traveler A or Traveler B?

A, which on the GS covers the bike front to rear to below the seat level.

If that fits good, the Wanderer A should work for the OP.

I wouldn’t necessarily call the fit good, but it’s been good enough for my purposes. The OP’s original post sounded like he was looking for a more full-coverage unit like the Wanderer…
