Default Bike Cover

Looking to get a bike cover. Thought I remembered seeing a thread about this already but search doesnt turn up anything.

Asking for recommendations on a cover or if you can direct me to the thread that has already been started on it.

BTW, I have 14" apes, and a 16" sissy bar (from fender struts up), not sure if thats a big deal or not.

Thanks!

Bike covers come fitted for a windshield so the apes won't be a problem. They would go over the tall sissy bar but it probably will look like a Teepee in the back.

I got an extra large one from walmart and it fits great with my windshield and tall sissy bar. Has built in elastic on the bottom to suck tight to the bike and air vents to keep moisture out to rpevent rust. Only cost me like $45.

Get one that says "Honda" so no one will mess with your bike.

Bike Cover?
Are you looking for something simple like the $20-25 walmart cover i use when traveling?
Are you looking for a cycle shell?
Are you looking for a cover for use inside a garage?
Lots of covers but it depends on your needs, wants and wallet.

Looking for outside cover to protect from sun and keep wandering eyes away. Not something as fancy as cycle shell. But something that wont fade quickly in the SoCAL sun.

Walmart has a large cover for $20-$30 depending on region and it brings a small bag.
The first lasted about 5 years before i got a small tear in it.
Just enter:
Motorcycle Cover, Large at walmart website and check which store near you has it in stock and go check it out.
It will keep wandering eyes off, help with sun but it does breath a little and in a terrible, long storm it does retain some moisture.
It is what i carry for hotel overnights and i actually like it better than an older $100 Harley Brand cover i have put away.
Your concern will be to NOT cover the bike until it has been parked about an hour due to hot pipe location.
Alternatively consider review of Jarum.com they have the Nelson Rigg economy cover for $22 plus $8 shipping.. It is well rated in several websites and if you are ordering other stuff like a rain suit, helmet bag or whatever the $8 shipping will not seem like much.
