Default motorcycle cover

Hi all
I got a new cover for the bike used it for the first time @ Bingara.
It's great fits over all the bike with panniers and topbox on, and rolls up small for travelling.

Details are
Oxford Aquatex Cover Camo XL for large tourers.
part number OF909 was $45.
from teammoto motorcycles at Moorooka Brisbane but you should be able to get it at any of them.

Cheers Gotawee

In the states, Wally-World has Wolf brand covers (water-resistant, not waterproof) for $20...........size L and XL. Helps deter "prying eyes", keeps dust/pollen/Dew off the bike, and wads up nicely into its own carry bag. The cover "breathes", allowing moisture to evaporate........not get trapped underneath which can lead to corrosion problems over long periods.

I use one from Wally as well...... works great, fits into a bag the size of novel.

dirt cheap.

I went with the nelson riggs from moto superstroe. I think "deluxe". Was about 45 bucks. Had to send the xl back and get 2xl for when i add panniers. Much better fit. Came with a stuff sack i now use for my rain pants, bout the size of a football. Nice middle of range cover.

I'll have to pick up a wal-mart one for traveling. At home I use a Dowco which is pretty bulky but TOUGH as nails. Stands up in the wind and snow!

Same here. Got an XL Dowco Guardian, only had it for about a month though, looks to be quality. It DOES fit with panniers and top box, but it leaves part of rear tire exposed. If i take top case of it covers a little better. Not worth returning, but if i had to buy it again, i'd be curious how much better XXL would be.

But my point was supposed to be it rolls up huge, and a nice cheap one for travel would be a good idea. Wife might think i'm crazy after spending 100+ on one i just got.
