Default covers??

Lets see your covers you use in the garage. Im wanting one for my 15 SGS. And GFs step dad just bought a 15 SG as well. We are wanting covers for them, mainly for dust etc for me. Keep cats off it for him. Don't want to spend a lot but want it to FIT nice!!!

If you use anything other than an old cotton bedsheet you are throwing money away.


cotton is good on the paint, breaths and easy to wash- any accumulated dust will wash away.



lots of stories of cats scratching up paint, tearing up seats--- incl the one from the guy with the fitted cover, where the cats like to climb underneath it & tear things up.
Moth ***** may keep cats away from the bike- I use them in my shed for squirrels

Always used flannel bed sheets.

I find a small amount of lead keeps cats off.

It was a Christmas gift from my daughter. I love it, don't know if I would have dropped the coin for it, but I do really like it.

Just make sure you do not have mice in the garage as they love to get up under the cover for safety.

Personally I live out in the country with Fields surrounding the house so the mice are a constant battle. Do to that i leave mine uncovered as its easier to clean it off than repair mice damage.
