I ordered a half cover for my Nomad and it's crap, too generic of a fit, is there a good quality one available that fits like it should?

I have no experience with a half cover. What is the reason for wanting a half cover vs the real thing?

I have a nice heavy cover, but wanted a "dust-cover" while it was in the garage between rides.

I bought a Dura Shield cover. I don't have the Nomad any more, but it does look like they make a cover for a bike without a trunk.

Here is there site: http://www.durashieldcovers.com/motorcycle-covers

They are great to work with. Give them a call and tell them what you are looking for.

I've been using Tour King covers for over 10 years. Works good and packs down real nice.

A few riders use them when parking at work. THey go on quick over a hot engine, avoiding the exhaust and keep the seat and top free from light rain, sun damage or bird bombs.

I don't think it will fit good on a standard Nomad, but it fits like a glove on one that has a fairing and trunk, here's the one I use, and yes it is great when parking at work. They go on quick over a hot engine, avoiding the exhaust and keep the seat and top free from light rain, dew, sun damage or bird bombs.

This is the half cover I have in addition to a full cover I also have. I know, the picture shows it on a crotch rocket, but the XL fits my Nomad perfectly, even will pull down over the saddle bags if you want. Easy and fast to put on and off. I was wanting something lightweight and that rolled up small for storage in the saddle bag and this does the job. It also comes with a fanny pack for storage too.

You will find that most of those covers have been made by Dura-Shield covers.

These are selling for more than Dura-Shield.

I am telling you.... call Dura-Shield. Just saying.
