    I would like a really good cover for the bike. It's out of the sun most of the time, my biggest enemy so far is dust. I would like something that wond't scratch up the paint etc. and is of pretty good quality.


    Any reccomendations are appreciated.


    Thanks,

    Mike

    IMO a loose fitting cover outside for any length of time is a bad idea because of the wind. If I had to cover my bike every day outside, I would use one of the upper end Geza Gear covers. No worries about rubbing on the paint with those. Pretty darned expensive though. I have an old one that I use for sun, but it is porous enough to let dust through.

    Nelson-Rigg 1/2 UV Cover Size Large $28.99

    Been working great for me for over two years now. Compacts up very small. For rain I use a Dowco full cover. I have a 5th gen and a large fits great, but if you have saddles that you will want to cover, you will need a XL....trust me, I tried. I just ordered a second one, because I made a small rip in this one.
