I'm going to order a cover this weekend. As of now, with limited research, my choice is the Superior Guard 5L  by Just Motorcycle Covers   price is $79.50(regularly $137.06)   Has anyone used this product / or can anyone recommend another cover in the same price range ?

I just looked up that cover and it seems like a nice one.  It is important to get one that breathes if you are going to be using it outside.  If it doesn't breath - it can trap moisture underneath and makes things really damp.

I've had surprising good performance from the Formosa Heavy Duty cover.  Lasted a couple years so far.. at least.

I had TrackSide before, and the lower part of the cover would rot out in a year, and the inner soft lining for the windshield started to deteriorate.

I keep my bikes outside, in all kinds of weather, with just the covers.

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

I really liked the Suzuki cover until I did the rake kit and had to get a bigger one.

thanks for the replies - I keep my bike outdoors  under a roof   fenced and locked   however, if there are both rain and wind   it can reach the bike  also at times dust and sand can blast it    thus, I want to cover it(her)   Dave's comments range true   I was into musclecars from 1979-92   and I'll never forget the time someone took the cover off of his car after being outside for a couple of years   only to find severe rust    it would have been much better uncovered   it didn't "breath" well    holding the moisture in   I learned a lesson that day

Sand Will get under it. If the wind is shifting it, it will scrub paint. Toss an old sleeping bag over it, then cover it. & Yea, air that dude out regularly,
