I NEED A BIKE COVER

[Spuddy]

I don't know how long I'm going to keep my Stelvio NTX outside. But when I do, I'd like to give it a fighting chance against the elements.  One problem is figuring the size because of the 58 liter GIVI tail trunk.  (I think a Goldwing size may have to do.)  The other consideration is quality of materials and construction.  What do you recommend?

I use a Nelson-Rigg Deluxe cover over the Stelvio. On top of that I also use a plastic tarp to keep the sun off the Nelson-Rigg cover. The sun will beat up the Nelson-Rigg cover in one summers use.

I use the giant cheapo ones from eBay and replace them every year, works for me very well

I've used an E-Z Touring Cover on my bikes (actually the same one) for about 15 years.  It has been modified by my wife as I changed bikes but it still does a good job.  They were in Bend, OR when I bought it but they may have moved since then.  Check out their website (www.EZTouring.com) and ask them what they recommend for your bike and needs.

 :+1 on dowco.  Good stuff.  Heavy enough to stay on the bike in the wind, light enough to throw over the bike.  The fit is good, it has a liner at the hard contact points (windshield, etc), and it keeps a bike dry.

I have a dowco for the home front and carry cheeep internet covers if I want one along for the ride.
