Covers; which ones are best

I am interested in hearing what brand and style of Motorcycle cover you use to protect your toy when/if parked outside, There are many covers out there, I want to hear who has the best and why, and who has the worst and why. thanks for sharing!

Most expensive is the best, cheapest is the not so best.

note: the large size works if you have no luggage racks. i put a topcase on and thats why the rear wheel doesnt get covered anymore/

 

I had a Nelson-Rigg for my VF500 about twenty years ago. Help up exceptionally well with the bike parked on the pier at Long Beach for extended periods of time. I liked it enough that I'm going to buy another for my current ride.

 

I have a Geza, but I use it indoors as a dust cover mostly. I have used it on the bike while trailering it and it held up well. Not sure how much weather it would protect from, though.

 

I have an inexpensive WallyWorld cover. I store under a canopy, so the cover is to protect from mist and sun. CycleGear (most local store for me) has a Bilt brand cover for $20 that seems about the same quality.

Depends on how much rust/corrosion you want on your bike. If I didn't have a garage and had to store out side. I would put it in a bag like this one:
Motorcycle Covers, Rhino Shelter Motorcycle Storage Bag

I've used one for my car when I store it away from home at times. Comes out as clean as it went in.

 

If money is no object and you are looking for a higher level of protection, there is the bike shelter option.

I bought one of the Cycle Gear Bilt covers ($20) but have never used it outside yet, mostly a dust cover for when in the Garage. That being said, the Bilt cover looks/feels like it would only last a few weeks/months in very harsh environments. On the good side, I believe I have the medium size and it covers my '09 wheels and all (without luggage).
