But need opinions ASAP as got to order today or tomorrow ideally!! Thanks for any feedback!!! |

Re: Motorbike / Bike shelter
You could lock a bike to it - but it looks a bit short for a motorbike. Your rear wheel would be stuck out of the shelter.

Re: Motorbike / Bike shelter
Looks a little small to me really. Is that the only size?

Re: Motorbike / Bike shelter
Or one like this....
http://www.autopa.co.uk/cycle_stands...s.php?page=vs1 Racks are 800mm apart but I believe 1000mm is the norm space allowed for a motorbike, but do you think a motorbike would still fit?? |

Re: Motorbike / Bike shelter
I reckon like the ones in Milton Keynes are pretty good, they only have the roofs not the sides and are a little bigger. Could maybe look for on like that...

The overall length of an SV is 2045mm and the shelter is 2100mm so there should be enough space. An SV isnt much smaller length wise than many other bikes is it? . Last edited by x Silver x; 19-02-09 at 12:15 PM. |

Re: Motorbike / Bike shelter
they'll still probably get wet. £2k?! I'd take an unpaid day off work, buy the materials and make my own.

Re: Motorbike / Bike shelter
Yea...I know its a lot of money......
If it was up to me I wouldn't get the shelter part and just get the racks bolted to the wall or floor But the powers that be want a shelter, even though the building is to be closed and sold off in 2 or 3 years! |
