Indoor bike cover

Post by Panman40 »

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 ? :-D

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.

I have tried those on the RT and GSF,don't waste ya money,they do not keep the dust off.
These from Selco are much better at doing the job

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