Damn that's nice.
Believe it or not I bought a cover at Wally World years ago for my Goldwing and am still using it, heavy, waterproof, soft inside so no scratching and a good size, It'll wrap under my tires if I want it to. Was only $60 I think at the time............Mike

I use a garage. Funny the more expensive cars sit outside, while the less expensive motorcycles and zero turn get the garage. I might be F*d-up...
The ones Wal Mart carried a couple of years ago looked good. Durable material, nice fasteners. MrMikey's post gets a Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Best cover you could put on that is F11 Topcoat. I have a 2014 (Red) which just glistens using topcoat. While a bottle may cost about $70 there is more than enough to keep your bike and a car for a few years. After winter storage and a couple first of the season rides, I used glasses lens cleaner and a microfiber towel to clean it up. 15 min wipe down and it was ready.
As far as Cover Cover's are you looking for an outdoor cover, an In the Garage cover, or one you can take with you on a trip to cover the bike at night? I have an in the Garage Cover which I take with me on trips. Check Amazon and Ebay they have many different ones anywhere from $20 - $200. The one I have is 10 years old so I can't give you an exact but it's like this one. https://www.amazon.com/Dowco-50004-0...62&sr=8-4&th=1 If you are going to park it outside in all weather I would get a heavy cover similar to this one. From Kawasaki. https://www.ebay.com/itm/KAWASAKI-VU...wAAOSwm8VUrIP6 In closing - These are great bikes. My first advise is Read the Owners Manual (No matter how much you've ridden you will learn something - Like how to reset the MPG, Tripometer and Clock). #2 - Don't assume because your last bike needed (X) accessory or modification that the Voyager needs the same thing. #3 DO NOT BUY A POWER COMMANDER - When you decide it doesn't quite have the power you would expect - there is an ECU reflash by Ivan Performance Products which will fix all kind of little things and you'll feel like you got another new bike. |

I LIKE! Pretty blue and silver but being as I am here in Bama also I would bet this morning it has a heavy shade of green if'n it's sitting outside. Pollen was in full force the last 2 days.
Yep, as mike07nad said, the Ivans reprogram is the trick to enjoying this bike. I found my stock mufflers work better performance wise with the reprogram than the V&H slip-ons. For this engine, I've got great low rpm torque in all gears.

Yeah did not plan on a PC at all. So I am assuming I have to take out the ECU and mail it in so he can flash it? I know duhhh
Only upgrade I wanna do is maybe slip ons and a new daylight headlamp. But im still on the fence...

Still I am going for it, since it is a Mike

Yep,,, and the ECU is the single best upgrade to the 1700 money can buy. If you do V&H slip-ons, I've got a set with less than 1500 miles I could make you a deal on.

I use the CycleShell. I don't have to wait for pipes to cool off. I put the Trackside Roll-on wheel chock from CycleGear inside. I roll on, get off, pull the cover over, pin it if I expect some wind, and get inside. Quality is outstanding.

Do you need the cover for storage, traveling, or both?
I have always used a non descript plain cover when traveling. No need to advertise that you have something valuable underneath. Wally world $25 one to keep the dust, dew, and prying eyes away. Although I recently bought a basic heavier waterproof half cover for my Wing...takes up about the same space but is waterproof. Nice looking bike! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
