Best bike cover?
 

Im after a new cover for my K6 sport. I've currently got an oxford one but it's increasingly annoying when it blows off, any suggestions? Cheers.

I bought one from Aldi a couple of weeks ago - not sure how good it is tho, but for 9 quid - bargain.

Seems well constructed - fleecy lining, velcro straps around the wheels and more elastic than M & S underwear department...

I've got an oxford stormex, expensive but stays on and is mostly waterproof (a little bit of water gets soaked up at the bottom, but the bike itself stays dry)

I, too, have been looking for a cover recently. Got a SV650S K6 about a month back and want to have cover that is quick and easy to put on the bike. The place where I work does not have covered parking so wanted to have some cover for the bike. By the way, so far I saw www.gezagear.com (Pro-series , small). The price is $174.95 (87.65 GB Pounds). But I would like to get my hands on something cheaper.

By the way, anyone out there using gezagear cover?

R&G do one for track bikes on trailers. Slots for bar straps, chain holes by wheels, clips on underside, aint going to blow off, but not sure how waterproof it is.

Oxford stormex gets a thumbs up lennis from me. Ive had 3..2 got stolen!!

Re: Best bike cover?
 

Yeah I got the Oxford stormex too ... it has holes in the front n rear (which I should use before it gets stolen), through which you can pass a bike chain.
It also has a belt for the underbelly, which should keep it in place in gales.
Fits nicely over my SV, and is very good at keeping the water out. Only problem I have is remembering to put it on after the 'zorst has cooled down.

I would have preferred something I could stow as it's a bit bulky, but then I don't really use it that often - out on it too much :P

At the moment I'm using a soft cotton second hand bed sheet to protect the paint and a thin white tarp'. Tied to prevent windloss with multi-coloured string!

Over the next few weeks will be building a lean-to, veranda, car-port, type thing onto the rear of the house. There is a brick shed which could be emptied at a pinch and she could sleep in there. Door would have to be bricked up and a new one installed at one end but the lean-to seems the simplest and cheapest option.

There's always the kitchen on those really cold nights!!! ;)
Sweetheart, I've just had this great idea!! :) Ooch! Ouch! No not there!!!

I have an Oxford Stormex one...nice cover but I have a habit of forgetting to go back and pop it on once the exhaust has cooled off. Last time I looked it appeared that 20 or so slugs had taken up residence in it :(

Re: Best bike cover?
 

I too have the oxford stormex. Had it 12 months now melted a big chunk on my old exhaust but repaired with Duck tape and is good as new:D. It does keep the bike dry and is breathable but after long wet spells the bike does get damp underneath.

Had it off ebay £60 if i remember rightly

It got good reviews by RIDE mag.:cool:
