|
I am trying to find a good all weather cover for my XS. Having no garage, I need something to keep it out of the weather, so am looking for a cover. If anyone knows of a good cover that will fit the XS properly, please let me know. Seems that most covers these days are made for long cruisers or bikes with shields and saddlebags, and all are way too big. Help please!
Dave

Dunbar, they are really nice, but I am a person of meager means. A simple cover is what I am looking for. Thanks, though. If I ever had that much money I'd really like to have one of those.

I have used a plastic tarp from walmart and bungee cords to cover mine in the past (its not easy to get in and out of the shed) its cheap and keeps the rain and snow off BUT. The big but is if it gets windy (like around here) use plenty of bungee cords, the wind on the tarp may do more damage than the weather. Also the plastic won't breath and that's not so good. especally if its in the sun.
Try www.denniskirk.com for a real one.
Someday a bike garage!

plastic traps moisture, it's better to just throw a sheet over it..... i picked up a 1/2 dozen covers (cotton sheeting with a stretch band around the bottom) that came on new bikes that my yam dealer was just throwing away
