Default Motorcycle Cover

I need a new rain proof motorcycle cover for outdoor use for my RK. I recently had a Extigent Cover but it ripped. Any suggestions.

I had a Guardian or Dowco all weather cover. Was great until someone jacked it two weeks ago. I think it was $84, had enough room to clear Ape hangers, etc...aluminum heat shield...

Not sure why your Exigent ripped. I've used them on my bikes for years and they are the best cover IMO. Get yourself another one.

Picked up one from Wally World for something like $30. Seems fairly well made, doesn't have the HD target symbols all over it, heat shields on the lower portion. Not bad for the price, definitely not top of the line, but works for me.

I used a Cal Coutom all year and it kept the RK dry. Only problem was that it didn't cover the entire bike. Either the tips of the pipes were exposed or the lower half of the front wheel was exposed. It isn't rip resistant unfortunately and it stretched out after a year so-. I WOULD go back if they made a little bigger one with a little more toughness.

Q Hog, I have three questions for you.
&nbsp\\;
Do you have the web site for that Exigent cover?
&nbsp\\;
How did you get that picture posted in the post?&nbsp\\; I keep messing it up and only get my avatar pic.&nbsp\\;( I'm sure someone is saying duh...)
&nbsp\\;
What are&nbsp\\;the round items up high on you handle bars, on each side?
&nbsp\\;
oops!&nbsp\\; One more qustion.&nbsp\\; Can I have it?&nbsp\\; It's sweet looking!!
&nbsp\\;

www.exigentbikecovers.com. I used www.photobucket.com and downloaded my pic there, shrinked them, copy/paste them to the link located on the tool bar-far right. (looks like a mountain w/ a moon). The circle cylinders are a pair of handlebar speakers. I had them 8yrs ago before I knew about detactable fairing. Sorry, I can't let my RK&nbsp\\;go.
