MC covers

phenrichs · 02-13-2009, 12:59 PM

I am looking for a cover. I want one that will be big enough to cover it with a trunk or without. I found one on amazon but I wonder if anyone has it and can give a review or if anyone can recomend one.

Thanks

If you live near a Wal-Mart, you can get the x-large one off the shelf in the neighborhood of about $20.00. I got one, and it has ample room for windshield, and extra room if I was to add a trunk. Not a bad cover either ;)

I have a Dowco Guardian Ultralight cover, it covers my bike just fine with the trunk attached. It is size L for the big cruisers.

(I found the box and corrected the size I had previously posted)

I've used several brands including Kuryakyn on my Goldwings and prefer the Ultraguard full covers. They should handle the trunk on the Nomad with no problem. They are bit more but hold up really well and look great.

I have a buddy that has 5 bikes. He has been riding for years.

When I bought my bike he advised me to buy a cover but nothing that looks too fancy....it is an invite to thieves...."There is something expensive under here, you can tell by my fancy cover...come and get it!"

I did find it ironic that when we went to the local motorcycle races that his bike was vandalized and mine wasn't....neither of us had covers on them. Of course he had his satalite radio mounted and I don't have one...that is what they were after but only got as far as ripping the wires.

If you live near a Walmart???? Around here, you can't throw a rock and not hit a Walmart.

Scott, I'm glad you posted this because I haven't tried my cover since adding the trunk. I'll have to check this out.

A+ on the Walmart cover!!! I got's 9 of them. Course I got 9 bikes! Every year when I goes to Sturgis I get's me a new one! $19.96 a pop, friends of mine in Califonie & Nevada never knew about them?? WT? So now they get one every year and take the old one on trips. That way if it blows off or gets stolen - it's only 20 bucks! I have had a couple of 100 dollar cover that don't work or last a s good as these! Plus the 130 dollar one got stolen in one month after I bouht it!
