Bike Cover
 

I am moving house in a week and will need a cover for the bike as it will now be living outside. Does anyone know of a decent cover that will be simple and protect ir. I will be putting it on in pitch black, so the simpler the better.

There was a review of rain covers in Ride Magazine, December 2008. See here http://www.motorcyclenews.com/Ride/Product-Tests/

I recently bought the oxford rainex cover online from RF Linton, however it would appear they had them priced ridiculously low at the time, as the price has increased by over £20 now.

I think with any cover, it's going to be a little faff, especially in the rain and the cold. Currently, mine goes on if the bike is dry and there's a good chance of rain.

Also to consider - where to put it when it comes and you're at work all day, the oxford rainex does not have loops for hanging it up, so I'll be sewing some on before the winter really kicks in.

I've been using an oxford stormex for a few years now. Its pretty alright, but my topbox rack has torn the inner lining. Bike is almost always dry underneath, except in cases of strong wind and rain when some is blown up and under the cover.

I use an oxford RainEx one. doing the job just fine so far

Re: Bike Cover
 

Are they a universal fit? How do they usually connect underneath?

Re: Bike Cover
 

the oxford aquatex is good as well they have a clip under the engine, they also have no way to be stored mine is bright pink (local chavs wont steal my pink cover after my Grey, black and gold ones got stolen) there is also a hole at the front so you can chain your front wheel but I dont bother most the time. get one in large and it should fit.

Remember to tell the DVLA/ insurers that you're moving!

Use a lintek one meself,had it a few years now cost around £40 & seems to do a good job.

The Oxford Rainex attaches with a strap with buckle-clip, there's holes front and rear for chains, and without going looking at it, I'm pretty sure there's pockets for padlocks to be put in, so they don't sit in wet on the ground. It's elasticated around the front and rear. I have the large. A neighbor has the medium on a CCM SM125 and the front doesn't quite cover the front wheel, The large fits the SV650 well.
