Title: Purchasing Cover - Quick ?
Post by Wake51 on 09/28/10 at 22:19:02

This is the cover I'm looking to purchase as I have to store my bike outside while at school. Anyone know what size I should pick up? I was guessing medium but from the sounds of it they tend to run small...

And if anyone has any input on the cover let me know. Thanks!

The 250cc Suzuki and Honda cruisers have a 57" wheelbase. The 250cc Yamaha and our 650 have a 58" wheelbase, our a little smaller than the 250 V-Star. All other "small" cruisers are 62"+ wheelbase, and the big cruisers are around 68" wheelbase.

BikeBandit is at $55.73 plus $8.95 shipping, is shown as closeout special. About 4 years ago they back-ordered brake pads and never told me. BikeBandit is San Diego CA -- it ships to me quick, but I have to pay State Sales Tax.

Amazon found the "nelson rigg 628 md" and "nelson rigg 628 m" for the cover low price of $45.47 by Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse. Crosscheck to their site shows the medium FC628 to be not on stock.

Amazon shows the cover at $56.86 + $7.95 shipping In stock. Processing takes an additional 3 to 4 days. Sold by Fay Myers Motorcycle World. For $0.13 it shows it In Stock -- which matters when you what it ASAP.

Dennis Kirk has it in stock, 61.99+7.99 ship, and they ship out Same Day. $5.30 and it will be quickest, shipped from Rush City MN.

Be careful with those things. A sudden big blow has been known to knock a bike down.

I just got two of these:

and I mean JUST. Put it in the bike for the first time 10 minutes ago. Quality looks OK. Generally, my experience says a cover won't last more than a year if you use them outside. The heat resistant cloth at the bottom rots and mildews.
I like the XXL covers. It just makes it easier to cover the bike.
Never had a problem with the cover blowing off or the bike blowing over, but it sits about 2 feet from the house.

Once again thanks for the numbers Paladin. Order placed. I went with the next stage up since it comes with a lifetime warranty.

Local WalMart has universal cover for $19. Good enough for one year, then trash, buy new and repeat.
