Best outside cover

Same for me and I have an Oxford one. I cannot recommend it. 5/10 at best as it is not robust and condensation is an issue. Looking forward to seeing recommendations though as I would love a brilliant one although we are moving in March and then are into the dreamworld of a triple garage!!

Same here, I've got one from amazon which is holding out xxxl for fully loaded gsa but what's been working better is a tarp tied down with bungess, dry as a bone, thick, and can be rolled on and wrapped the whole way like its in a tent.

When my bike was sitting outdoors over the winter i was using this:

Excellent quality and would always recommend.
Luckily i now have a barn to store it in bad weather.

My thoughts too. Having said that it's only there to stop prying eyes after having one stolen.
Hopefully, we'll be moving in March and like yours, the house has a triple garage!

Ive used an R&G Adventure cover, about 55 pounds off eBay. It covers the back of the bike with the panniers OR the topbox but not all at the same time. Some condensation issues but its a thick rugged cover with good tie-down straps. Alan
Spot on with the recommendation of the Wunderlich cover. It will cover a GSA with panniers and top box no problem.
There was a similar thread about a year ago. I posted a photo of mine and I think Micky posted a photo of his up too.
The previous R&G Adventure cover was a 'Ride' magazine recommended product. I bought one and found it pretty rubbish, which really suprised me. Smaller than advertised, thin material and leaky seams it lasted all of a year. Sounds like the 'redesigned' version is better (couldn't really be worse...).
Have also tried Oxford covers. Wouldn't recommend a Rainex as the side panels are a bit flimsy - convenient when putting on but only last for a year or two before deteriorating to the extent that they rip easily if caught.
The Stormex is better, sturdy material throughout. Sizing can be a bit odd and differs from previous versions (which still occasionally pop up online). Best to read reviews on Sportsbikeshop to see if you can find relevant comments.
My ideal cover would be made of non-flapping waterproof material with sealed seams and lined where it touches paintwork, fitting snugly over the bike and around the wheels. Maybe a belly strap or two to keep the bottom edge off the ground - no sagging allowed. If you can get the right size for your bike the Stormex is pretty close.
+1 for this. Top bit of kit...

I used a cover while my garage was being rebuilt. Cannot remember the make/model. Only used it for a couple of weeks I’m in north Surrey, and if you want it, you can come and socially-distanced collect it if you want it. I’m not asking money for it, just a donation to Air Ambulance charity please.
PM me for details etc.
