i got the cheapo one from argos. 15 quid.

nothing wrong with it - its waterproof and breathable.



just a question . . . . i dont suppose you put it on the bike when its hot do ya ?

:D I do this too, I thought I was being weirdly anal but apparently I'm not alone.

Never had any problem with mildew or the thing looking tatty, although the furry inner does gather oil from the rear sprocket.

I've got one of those as my "take with me" cover. Nice and compact with that little bag. I plan to take it when I go camping to cover the bike.

I've not put it on the bike when it's hot, but it's waterproof. I'd say it's not completely breathable though- when garaged overnight with it on, there was a lot more condensation on it than when I've covered it with my stormex. That said though, there's a washing machine in the garage, so that probably doesn't help.

Thankfully I didn't. Actually thats one thing that really annoyed me about the cover. I'd come home from work at midnight and have to wait 30 mins before I could put the cover on. Hopefully with the Stormex thats all history. Still it was always a good excuse to have a few beers before bed... :twisted:

not just trying to sell you all a new cover,

BUT


hein gericke does sell a heatproof/waterproof cover for a £36.

:D :D :D

Either way, just for info, I put the stormex straight on when it's hot & all's well. Probably helps dispel a bit of moisture! :wink:

With the standard can, waiting 30 mins for it to cool was necessary, with the carbon Remus jobbie I've got I only have to wait about two mins, so not a big problem.

i dunno - i never have any condensation on mine - but it is kept outside tho.

I have a whole list of mods I would like to do but unfortunately I couldn't even afford to buy the bike never mind the mods. Still when you want something as beautiful as an SV you just gotta have it. Bike is completely standard and probably will be until the warranty runs out. :cry:
