thin bike cover - does one exist?

[airboss]

Nelson Rigg 1/2 cover, it's so old I don't think i even payed $20 for it.

I've been happy with the E-Z Touring MC covers for many years...

Here is a pic of the Nelson Rigg UV2000:



XL for a top box

Gezagear medium cover if you take your side bags into the room with you over night. They will last Forever. Worth every penny.

I have the Nelson Rigg UV2000 XL. Will still fit on the bike with V46 trunk and side bags on. But it doesn't pack up to the size of a softball or soda can. More like a small loaf of bread.

For that reason it often gets left behind, especially when 2-up touring (space is at a premium). Having one that really was the size of a soda can would be worth the extra bux, IMO.

Ditto on the Nelson Rigg, it's a nice cover for the money and packs up pretty small.

I had used the Bike Condoms in the past--they were great--very small and just dispose of them at the end of a trip. I ordered two of them as they were going out of business. The jerk-off that ran the company kept taking money from people without sending what they paid for. I went through a dispute with Paypal and Paypal got my money back. It was only like $20 or something but it really pissed me off. Someone should re-start the company and concept because it was a good idea.....here's one on my FJR...

As stated earlier, you can buy the cheap ass Chinese made full XL cover for less than $20 and it will last years if you do not violate it. If you want a cover that is water proof or a cover for lack of a garage then spend $100+.

I have a DOWCO and the best part about it is that they replaced it after it got a whole in it for free. They are a great company to work with. I stuff it in a little bag.

I use the Nelson-Rigg daily, parking my bike outside at work, and I had to replace the first one after nearly three years when I stepped on it and ripped it, not the cover's defect at all. The second one is over two years now and still perfect.

I have had my share of covers and Geza is the best I've found. Thin, light and gentle on the paint.

Yes Sir! I think the Gezagear cover is hands down the best. It's pricey but, you get what you pay for.

Cycle Gear has a decent, light-weight cover for about $20. It's not water proof, but I sprayed mine with Scotch Guard for a little extra protection. Been using it on trips for a couple of years with no complaints. It packs down pretty small, too.

I'm pretty happy with my Aerostich covers (one for the FJR and one for the Street Triple). I also have a Geeza...but squirrels' claws racing across the bike put holes in it. I also wish the Geeza were waterproof, but it is a good cover. It doesn't pack up as small as the Aerostich covers, though.

This packs into about the size of a soda can.

Been using Tour King half covers for decades. Pack up into about the size of a soda can. They last a long time and I could buy 4 (or more) for the price of one Nelson Rigg.

Yep, me too and they are waterproof to boot.

Nelson Rigg UV2000 1/2 cover or Tour King, Tour King packs a little smaller.

+1 on the Nelson Rigg half cover. Nothing beats it for overnight protection and packability.

^^^^ yes ^^^

CycleGear cover as well. Cheap, does the job, covers the whole bike completely. Good for temp use on trips but obviously not for long term outside storage.
