Bike Cover

I've got the R&G bike cover and I can't fault it, fits the bike snugly, has 2 clips to secure underneath, has bits you can put a chain through front and rear and hasn't let any water in. Think it's on the pricier side, paid about £40 iirc.

Hi, not sure which but this week Busters or Fastners? were selling bike covers "well branded" with a free lock and chain, this was an on line offer may be worth a search of the 2 sites. Sadly I deleted the link and can't guide you further.

Same as a lot of others, i use an Oxford cover. A word on that belt under the engine, mine burnt apart within a week. On the burning issue (^.^) make sure it's one that you can put straight on, there will be times where you just can't be arsed waiting an hour or whatever for it to cool down. Most of them do 'cus of that reason but that cheapo one doesn't mention it.

Rainex one has heat resistant areas both sides at the rear, make sure you get them right - I managed to accidentally leave a bit of the stuff designed to protect the bodywork against the front of the exhaust and it melted to it. total pita to clean off.

That said, in my usage since I have no idea how I managed to position it so badly.. its really quite difficult to do something so daft

What a strange idea to make it half heat protected, i wouldn't blame yourself for that ... i use a stormex tho which is like a sleeping bag so all's good.

+1, keeps dust, rain, street rubbish out and bike from icing in winter. easy to put on and take off, folds nicely for storing too. make sure chain through the hole otherwise it will get nicked

A medium sized will fit a SV nicely

ten minutes is enough time for bike to cool.

I've got one of these (in large) absolutely fine !!

However, its too large to carry when I travel to work !!

Anyone know of a cheap one that folds up small enough to carry to work ???

There's a motrax one that's kinda popular and really thin, know a guy who used one on his gixer. There's also one that's just like a rain guard? Saw it in the demon tweeks catalogue, designed to take with you to work or whatever.
