Title: Waterproof cover
Post by: Mick-H on 17 March 2014, 09:42:06 pm

Can anyone recommend a good quality outdoor waterproof motorcycle cover and what size would I need for a Fazer 1000?

oxford rainex mick, i bought the biggest one due to the top box, its been outside for over a year now and is still mint

+1, ace cover, only issue I've had is a bit wear around the footpeg area to the lining after the hurricane force winds we had.

There's quite a bit of slack material round the back wheel, so I gather it up and pass a quick release webbing dog collar through the lock holes. Keeps it from flapping round in the wind.

For the amount of space that takes up I'd look at a small shed.

Not an option unfortunately, bikes going to be outside my mates house in front of his garage behind a couple of box trailers as there is no access to the rear of his house.
