bike cover

[fykka]

Can I ask for recommendations for a good waterproof cover that fits over the 800 with panniers

My last one blew away to the land of oz...

Thanks

Can't particularly recommend a cover, but I can strongly recommend a pack of these bad boys -

The 4 middle sized ones are currently doing a sterling job of stopping my cover blowing away!

Oxford cover, available from Halfords.

Has a strap which goes underneath to keep it attached, will fit over the bike with top-box and Metal Mule panniers on, and last years before the UV in sunshine gets to them and makes the fabric brittle. A very worthwhile £30.

I bought one of these XXL covers off ebay for £30 inc P&P... it fits my f800 with 2x 38L Zega Pros and still plenty of room.

I use the cover that fits with the GSA,that fits fine over the panniers no worries.Only drawback for me is it has BMW written over it.Im not the biggest fan on advertising whats underneath>i have sprayed over it which works ok.Looks like crap so no one bothers to look underneath!

+1 for the BMW cover, but I'm with Andy5329 on the BMW Motorrad logo
photo is with the vario panniers on.

Thanks Val. Based on that thread, I've seen a perfect solution:

Anyone tried these out? There is a make called BikeBarn from the US that deliver to Ireland but they are very expensive. Like €350 expensive. Could build a shed for that.

Anyone know anyone that has tried something similar out?

Otherwise its an Oxford Stormex (€110)....

@fykka - I had considered using one of these when moving house... if I had no garage one of those folding tent things would have been the alternative.

You can get them for like £100, should never be €350 :S, although no idea how tall they are.

Did you come up with any good sources?
