Motorcycle Cover
I need to buy a new cover for my CB. I cheaped out and got one from Walmart. In recent high winds (40mph) I had the cover more than tied down sufficiently. It didn't go anywhere but was ripped to shreds.
This time around I'd like to get a quality cover that will stand up to the elements.
Any advice on covers would be much appreciated. Thanks.[/size]

RE: Motorcycle Cover
I believe that the Nelson Rigg motorcycle covers are generally well regarded.

RE: Motorcycle Cover
When we had our store we sold COVERMAX covers. It was a Dist. house brand .
Made well but a little less money then some of the name brands.
We made good profit from them also.

Have tried many brands over the years, now use Formosa brand, available at Amazon. High quality and durable.

RE: Motorcycle Cover
I've found some pretty good covers at Cycle Gear over the years. The Wal-Mart covers are not very good, as you've learned.

Is that more of a sun cover?

I guess so. They call it a half cover. It helps keep it clean too.

RE: Motorcycle Cover
One word; Covercraft.
I've used Covercraft covers for decades (yes, I'm a really old fart)
Before I retired, back in the day when I rode to "work" daily, a Covercraft cover was always on my bike during the day.
People are always commenting on how "clean" my bikes look... that's in part thanks to Covercraft.

DISCLAIMER: No, I do not work for Covercraft, I just really like their products.
