Bike Cover

Post by Dazjm »

Can anyone recommend a bike cover that fits a storm, wont rip with the slightest pressure, and wont accelerate rust while its under there?

Try Specialised Covers - http://www.bike-covers.com

Had two and swear by them. Waterproof and breathable. Got mine - Retro - from Bradford Motorcycles. Made in Burley-in-Wharfedale, nor far from me, but I don't work for 'em! You can oder direct from them.

They do a Premier one but its a little expensive...

I've had a look at mine, which has been great, but can't find a brand on it anywhere :?

It's heat-resistant (so you don't have to wait for the bike to cool down to use it) & tear-resistant. I tend to be pretty rough with that kind of thing & this cover has lasted me for ages.

Sorry. No help whatsoever really :roll: :lol:

I have an oxford one for medium sized bikes, was about £20.......it does the trick and feels nice inside(the bit that touches the bike).....only gripe i have is no loopholes to tie it under the bike but these could be made or i just use a bungee. VeetyR

I've recently bought a Oxford cover, it's very heavy duty with a soft fury inside :) It's meant to be breathable and has convenient holes for threading a lock though the wheels, so far no issues. Wasn't cheap though about £70 8O Think I was feeling guilty for keeping it outside - was always garaged, but that's divorces for you!
