Purchasing Cover - Quick ? (Read 134 times)

Wake51 Full Member Offline Murphy's Law Posts: 214 St. Louis Gender:	Purchasing Cover - Quick ? 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! http://www.bikebandit.com/nelson-rigg-falcon-cruiser-628-cover

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.

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.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
