Title: Want to ID this stick bird bike cover
Post by: cliffrod on March 23, 2026, 09:32:08 AM

Ive had this red plastic (what i assume to be) Moto Guzzi stick bird motorcycle cover since the 90's.  I think it came from FarmerFred, who didnt know where it came from, either.  We assumed it was a dust cover for a brand new bike, but thats all i've got.  Think it fits my V7 Sport ok.  Don't remember.

 Maybe someone here knows more-

Yes, i know more since i set up lots of new bikes out of the crate. Those plastic covers came with new bikes, every crate had one. For the new owner to cover their bike. Guzzi put them in for years.

Mine is in regular service. Whatever bike is on the lift is covered except for when actively wrenching. 1000S currently aboard.

That damn stick bird been following me around 50yrs now, they don't seem to go away. I have kicked it, beat it w/a breaker bar, still don't go. Damn freaking birds. Wish they'd leave me alone. Moved 900mi 25yrs ago and there they are, freaking birds.

Don't use that cover on a warm bike, you won't like the results.

that's for certain!  Dust cover only.
