Bike Cover for FJR

[MrT]

I have two bike covers but neither one will cover the FJR, at least with the saddlebags on. I believe one is for a 1500 Concours and the other is a size XL from Guardian(?) I guess it must take a XXL or XXXL since the bags and mirrors are so wide....

What's the popular choice out there in FJR Land?

A Dowco Guardian size Large - Full Dress works for me. The mirrors will fold in case you need a little more room.

MrT,

Also check out this thread on the forum.

Cheers!

Thanks NightShine -- I did a search for "Bike Cover" but didn't seem to turn up that thread. And after posting, I realized this topic should be under Accessories. Anyway, with the mirrors folded, that might be enough to make the bike covers I already have fit.

Found a cover at wallyworld, XL cover made by "Wolf" The XL covers the bike with bags. Best part..., $20!

Problem with the less expensive covers is that they leak after a couple of rains. My Dowco lasted a couple of seasons. It's rapidly dying as far as water resistance goes.

Turns out that folding the mirrors in gave me enough extra length to make my old bike covers work. Thanks!

I had a Dowco Guardian for my PC800 and I used that bike every day for commuting. The cover got used rain or shine, parked outside where I worked. It lasted four years before the seams started letting go. The secret is to dry them out completely before storing. I didnt once and the cover mildewed, thatw when it went south.

I picked up a XL "Wolf" cover from Walmart. It might be the best thing I've bought for $19.89 in years. It fits like it was made for an FJR with bags. It is light weight and easy to use. I use it as an indoor cover so I can't say how it is in the wet, but it sure looks well made for under 20 bucks!

I just got the Nelson Rigg UV 2000 in XL. It'the half cover, but it fits OVER my CB +4+3 and my side bags and Givi V46. With all that on, it just fits under both side bags. W/o the Givi, it easily covers both side bags w/room to spare. It does not have any panels that you can lay on hot cans, so you gotta be careful. It comes with a bag you can wear around your waist - not sure why. It's not too big, but big enough and easy to carry. And it was $49 delivered.
