I’m on the lookout for a relatively cheap indoor type cover that will fit the 1250RT with top case and panniers fitted, any ideas ?

If it's for use inside a garage or shed etc. I use a clean painters dust sheet. Keeps the general crap off the bike, easy to throw over and cheap as chips from Screwy (or similar)

I use a couple of old bed sheets. Am not going to pay out on an expensive cover just to keep the dust off my bike.
Trust me I am a retired Doctor and lecturer at Oxford University of Structural and Mechanical/Electrical engineering.

Thanks, something to research, I like the look of the one at sportsbikeshop but probably won’t go over 3 boxes.

The Oxford Dormex from Sportsbikeshop fits the 1250 just fine inc topbox, this is the extra large

Cover arrived today, bit of a tight fight between top box and screen once all pulled into place.
