revlimitbounce Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Thrilling topic, I know, but anyone have good things to relate on which are the best bike covers? Found Dowco and Nelson-Rigg so far. I think Dowco's been around since Moses was a baby.... Thx, rev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matey_peeps Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Not a big fan of covers. 9 times out of 10 I've seen them act as sails and pull the bike over on a windy day. But they are good at keeping out snow and prying eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I use two bedsheets but my bikes in the garage. I'm just keeping cats and dust off them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHaul Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I use a cover from E-Z Touring. It has lasted a long time and the folks were great to deal with. They didn't have a CBR1100XX specific cover when I got mine in 1998 but they may now. I got the "sportcoat" version and it fits width wise good if you fold a mirror in. Length wise is near about perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethang Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 has anybody used the stretch cover from Geza Gear? I've been thinking about one of these for at work in the garage. Ass holes will just hop on peoples bikes to try them out. I think thats like just hopping on your wife or girlfriend. You should ask first.

Around here, that's a pretty good way to get beaten to a bloody pulp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azxr Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I have the Dowco, but haven't used it that much. fits like a glove and seems pretty durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9XX Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I have the Geza. Nice product, good quality and excellent fit IMO. Ordered from their website and had it within a couple days. They will try to sell you the towable one for twice as much money though....... I'm happy with the standard. The mirror booties look like scuba boots, but everything fits snug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXTi Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I have a Geza too. I've had it for 2 or 3 years and like it. My only complaint is that they are a little pricy. (Yes, I bought the high dollar one :oops: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Father Fuzz has one that works great on picnic tables, don't know what model it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wario Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Dowco is a good cover. Mine lives indoors, but I like the cloth lining over the windshield and that it fits "right" on the bike. No sags or obvious issues. Priced good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOXXIC Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Bed sheets, they work great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 What is the primary use of the cover ?? If you leave your Bird outside like I do then the best cover to have is not actually a cover but a small rigid tent. Get a "BikeBarn" ! they work perfectly never touch your bike and keep it well protected. Easy to use and very durable. I have had mine for 4 years now and looks like new. check it out : http://www.thebikebarn.net . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlimitbounce Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 What is the primary use of the cover ??. Primarily when in a dusty garage, though on long overnight trips when I've fitted the Givis, I'll take the cover along so it may see a little weather.
