Bike Cover

[IanC]

I'm looking for a cheap/lightweight bike cover to keep envious eyes and hands off when away touring.

Any ideas where to get one which'll fit my 1200 GSA, complete with panniers and top-box?

Ian,

I got one off ebay from Japan - seller was 88cara & item arrived within about 10 days. It's light, comes in a stuff sack & was spot on. It fits my standard GS a treat with room to spare so it should fit the GS 'fat boy'. I've checked the listing & they are still for sale at about £4.99 + p&p. This was a fraction of the cost of other similar items.

Hope this helps

Hi Gents,

Did you have to pay any 'extras' like import duty or tax of any kind?
I have always been put for by items from these countries due to a few horror stories.

Thanks,

Buy British

..probably manufactured in China though - dbcovers, someone here recommended them. I ordered a 'heavy duty' one yesterday. They do a lighter version that is big enough for a GS with panniers and top box.

Only managed to find this one, as I needed it quickly (flying to Alaska TODAY to be re-united with my bike!

To be honest it's a lot better/heavier/dearer than I wanted, but it looks very durable and high quality.
