I hate for my bike to set out in sun all day when I ride to work, so im looking to buy a cover for it. Ya'll have any suggestions on a good cover to buy. I own a Xb12xt and thinking about the, Ulysses City Screen Cover [94457-05Y] | ||

I saw that in the book the other day...looks nice and it would pack up small I bet. I have an older cover from a friends Tuber...works great on the XB but I only use it for storage. | ||

Check ebay cause i got a cheap cover ($16.01) and it seems to be good for keeping sun and rain off my bike while it is not used | ||

Blue tarp, two bungie cords and a clip. | ||

+1 for cheap cover on ebay. Get one ment for outside and look for a good price. They all only last a year or two if kept out doors. | ||

If you are not concerned with water protection, then just get a simple "twin" sized sheet, and couple of clothesline clips. Any plastic type cover will scratch your mirrors, and/or your plastics. Any water resistant cover will trap moisture which causes its own set of problems. If money is no object then a Geza gear cover in in order. It is basically a spandex type form fitting cover. They are suitable for trailer use. | ||

From Quik Shade.  Cover pouch attaches under seat and pull over headlights to protect controls, console, airbox and seat. It's always there. | ||

Got the factory blue with dark blue stripe buell cover. Works a treat. Cant say enough about it. Get one! | ||

I have the City Screen for my XB9R and like it quite a bit. I'll probably be getting the Uly version for my XT at some point - but they are pricey. | ||

I bought a new BMW cover last week. Pricey but far and away the best "all weather" cover I have ever owned. | ||

From experience: Be careful what materials the cover is made from. MOST motorcycles don't have hot headers that stick out so far and so high on the side; the heat-shielded material is too low for Buells. Then you end up with melted nylon/dacron on your headers and a funny smell for several miles till it all burns off again... | ||

I bought mine from a place called Geza Gear. Its compact enough to fit in a small bag, but stretchy enough to cover the top of my bike even with an extended windscreen     | ||

i had a geza for my 600rr a few years back.. i loved it, for the 2 weeks I had it decided to stow it in my backpack and bring it to work.. got to the parking and hopped off the bike.. it took a few seconds to register, but thats when i noticed my backpack was really light.. apparently the zipper had unzipped.. no more bike cover..  right now, im eyeballing the qwikshade one for 40 bucks.. at that price, thats hard to beat...also, if it gets lost, i wont cry | ||

Get a job where they have a connected warehouse. Then you can park indoors like me. Better yet, get a job where you're in charge of that DC and have a whole fleet of your employees bikes parked in a private section of the warehouse safe from the elements and the public at large. | ||

Cover it? How would I get to show it off? And when it rains... that is how I wash the bike. | ||

Nelson-Rigg cover. silver in color, fits in a small supplied fannypack, AND covers the whole top half of my CityX. including the somewhat important handgrips... Not a part of the bike you want to leave uncovered in the summer. In Phoenix. Ask me how I know. $32. at Helmet Harbor.com | ||

Froglosopher, Which series cover is that? | ||
| Froglosopher |
I'm not sure right off hand, I'll need to find my receipt, but I think it's the pro plus series. | ||
| Jeffroj |
Cool, cause thats what I just ordered. I hope its worth the $$. | ||
| Jeffroj |
Sucks you pay 200 bucks for a cover and don't even get a carrying bag. That's an extra 10! | ||

I've used the HD Sportster cover in the past. I still have it tucked away in my garage (just in case). It is a very durable cover and fits great! | ||

So I ordered a Geza gear cover online nearly a week ago, and haven't got any acknowledgment from them at all. So far I have called them twice and left 2 messages. Has anybody that has ordered from them had similar issues? | ||
| Jeffroj |
Never mind, he just called me back, nice guy! |
