Motorbike cover ride over zip up? - SV650.org

17-05-12, 02:10 PM

Just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a ride over zip up cover from. It takes ages to cover the bike making sure everything is covered evenly and good enough for wind and rain to no sneak under.

One i could ride over and just zip over the bike would be so much easier.

I don't know of one, and I'm not sure it would be a good move - might be somewhat of a condensation trap.

Think you might be onto a winner there Amy. Apply for a patent immediately

I too hate wrestling with mike bike cover. Something simple as you suggested sounds like a great idea

It's even more annoying when you have an alarm that realarms after 30 seconds...keeping the keys in ignition while i put the cover on and made sure it wasn't blowing everywhere is a hassle...climbing up covers trying to get keys out. LOL a nightmare!

There used to be one with an attached vac that dried your bike.
That was back in the late 90's

They have those on ebay much cheaper. Always wondered if they work, as they seem to be ideal if you haven't a garage or shed. Only thing I would worry about is if it gets windy like it always is up here, and it took off!!! Great big tent poles ready to put a dent in your tank or summat

got one of those bike tents in the lockup that has never been out its bag...

you bolt them to the ground so once erected they are solid.
