Which Bike covers for winter storage - R1200RT (2015)

I have looked through loads of websites, and this forum, for info on a cover that will completely fit my RT1200 (2015) which also allows for a large top-box (2 helmets) and covers the full bike properly. There are many adverts, on ebay for instance, that do XL sizes but only for small top-boxes.

My own measurements of the bike are around 250cms Length (to back-end of top-box & 210cms to rear mudguard) x 100cms Width (front and back) x 150cms Front Height & 130cms Rear Height.

I am reluctant to order one if there are doubts about fitment.

Has anyone got advice / recommendations on makes and sizes for this make and model of bike?

Thanks in advance
PS. It is not just for winter storage but general coverage whilst in the garage

My past and present RT’s spend the winter period in my shed covered with old bed sheets. Never had any problems with corrosion or other nasties. The same sheets are used on a daily basis as dust covers when the bike is housed in my garage during the “riding” season. I see it as a “simple” uncomplicated, effective and cheap solution.

Nelson/rigg covers have served me well for a number of years, price is very reasonable on amazon or other web sites
