The first trip or two I used a full cover on my trike, then I went to a half cover. The problem is if it does rain and the cover gets wet, ya got a wet cover to deal with. Then while you’re rolling up the wet cover, the bike still gets rained on. Now we just go naked.

This is the 1/2 cover. It was more practical than the full cover. As you can see it kept the frost off the bike. But, then I has a frosty cover to pack up.



Thrn later going naked on our EG Limited, we got a frosty seat. It thawed quickly with some warm wet hotel room towels.




But then ya have to ask yourself, what the heck good is a cover when you have three days of this:

The cover has worked well during 50+ mph winds. After folding it into a NEAR rectangular shape - A sheet of FORMICA measuring 23” x 13” w/corners notched for trunk door hinge clearance (shiny side up), is placed on top of cover so luggage/travel kits/rainsuits will easily slide overDOWCO cover. I had to use Gorilla Tape to reinforce the inside/bottom of the notched corners since small cracks started to appear in the Formica.
I use the DOWCO Weatherall Plus Trike Cover (not sure of the p/n). VERY happy with it. I sleep better knowing the Trike is covered/hidden in the motel parking lot....

The big reason I cover mine on the road.
