Bike cover - Exupnut - 27-12-13
After a new bike cover. Can anyone reccomend one thats a good fit for an fzs1000 please :-)
Re: Bike cover - Mattsplat - 27-12-13
Dont do what I did and buy the cheapest chinky one you can find on ebay, I may as well just chucked a tarp over the bike :rolleyes
Re: Bike cover - stevierst - 27-12-13
I got a cheap oxford one when I had my tdm and it lived outside.
I use it at work now for the bandit as I'm too tight to buy a proper one, and it absolutely drowns it, but it keeps the weather off the bike.
Moral to the story, get the right size!

+1 for oxford, they are by no means cheap but bloody good!

Whatever you get, write your post code on both sides (and the inside!) in big letters in indellible marker to stop any other foccer from nicking it :thumbup
Re: Bike cover - Arfa - 27-12-13
Not tried any of the oxford ones. Had an R&G one, alright to begin with, but lining disintegrated after about a year. Just using a super cheapo Lidl one now... Does the job, but it's frickin' huge.
Re: Bike cover - Exupnut - 27-12-13
Why can't they just sew a piece of material/ or provide a wrap that guards against the heat ? They always perish round the can.... Who .... When its pissing down wants to waiT a foccin hour B 4 they can put the bloody COVER ON IT!!!! Not a lotta people know that :-)
Re: Bike cover - Fuzzy - 27-12-13
I have a silver R&G one, thick material whatever it is and has holes for your chain to go through. Go for a large size though as the M is a tight fit over my 600

Some of the Oxford ones have a heat RESISTANT part around where the can/s are. And then they come back to us as faulty, melted. Pull it out and find that the dozy f****r has put it on the bike the wrong way round. And then the stealer has been dumb enough to say, yeah mate, have a refund, it's faulty, we'll send it back to Oxfords for a credit. If you're going to put a cover on it with heat resistant panelling, at least make sure the panel is the bit that sits against the can - so make sure you get a good fit, secure it properly EVERY time you use it, and put it on the right way round in the first place.

Pricey but good, used to have a BMW 1200 GS under mine, so the FZS 1000 fits wth room to spare.
