Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Outdoor, Waterproof Motorcycle Cover

I ordered a cover for my 03 America and after waiting more than a month it finally came. And it fits like sh#t. Needless to say I’m pisssed and sending it back ASAP.

Does anyone here have a idea where I can get an outdoor cover that fits. My last one wore out and it fit perfect too. But Auto-zone where I brought it quit carry them

Thanks
Bill

I know menards and walmart carry them - can't comment on the quality though.

I have an outdoor cover that fits.. in fact it's spacious, weatherproof, and prevents theft. It's called a "garage".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Benny steered me toward the $20 Walmart covers. I liked it much better than the $80 fancy schmancy cover I had. The fit on the Wally cover was pretty good, but had excess on the back, even with a tall windshield & a Triumph sissy bar. I would wind up the excess and wrap the excess bundle with a bungee for a nice tight windproof fit. For $20...

Thinkin' out load, I don't believe there are too many covers that can survive direct exposure to UV for more than a season and remain waterproof, but I could be wrong. Look what the sun does to plastic chairs. Scotchgard seems to help.

As Santa & the lottery people have not yet made allowances for my first growth two story Birds Eye Maple toy barn, I'm probably going to get another el-cheapo sun canopy one of these days to replace the one I had that couldn't survive a snow load. It did have that Christo look all up on it flappin' upside down in the wind all Winter though. My wife didn't share that viewpoint. She renamed it "Whenerugoyng2takethatthingdown?" How could I take it down when one of the neighbors thought it to be a rain water collection device?

My cover from Triumph fits great, even with XL saddlebags, on the bike, not me. Plenty of room to spare.

I use the Wally world 20 dollar wonders. I roll it up in the saddlebag and put over the bike parked at work to keep er more or less dry during the afternoon monsoon showers that occur this time of year. They will tear easily so you must handle them with some care and the sun and weather will wear them out but at 20 bucks you cant go wrong.
