Full cover takes up too much room. Get the seat covers to keep seats dry or towel them off in morning

Default RE: Cover or not

Wife and I just got back from a 7 day trip and we always take the full cover ( no logo ). I put a disc lock on, a cable lock and chain it to a pole. Yea I know that if they really want it, they will get it but it will slow them down. I also put the cable lock thu the cover loops to protect it. If you pack it right it takes very little room.

I always take the cover to keep dew & rain off and also to keep prying eyes off. No need to worry about them being too big, there are plenty out there that roll up and fit in their own small bag. Look at the Exigent covers. They are great.

Itake a cheap light cover which is eaily stored in the bags and does not take much room. It

keeps evil eyes off the bike and bird poop as well.
