What cover do you use?

#1 Unread post by storysunfolding »

Hey guys-

I just picked up a Dowco Weatherall Plus cover from the stealer, mainly b/c I fund a way to get it cheap, but I digress.

I'm looking for another cover for my second bike as it's cover will be going on the new nighthawk. Is there a cover that's better than this Dowco or one just as good but generally cheaper (<$ 70 shipped)?

I use the $20 cover you can find at Walmart. Comes in large and extra large.

Has the safe lining for your windscreen and heat resistant bottom panels (after 15 minutes). Has a bungee latch underneath and two vents on op by the hand grips.

I've used it all season and I personally think it was a great investment.

Yup thats the same one I use. Has room too when I leave the shield on. Plus has the little soft pad thingy for the windshield.

My friend gave me one of those. It works great for my 599, but the only reason why I cover my bike is because some of the neighborhood cats decided my seat would make an excellent scratching post :evil:

+1 on the $20 wal mart covers. Though I'm debating buying a more expensive one to get through the winter.
A dog had his chain reduced one link at a time, every few days, until his chain was so short he could barely move. He never resisted because he was conditioned to the loss of his freedom slowly, over time. Are we in this country becoming like the dog?
