Motorcycle Cover - ST1100

[Don]

Searched, but didn't find the answer

I need a cheap, thin (stows compactly) cover to use while traveling with my 1100. eBay has lots of them in the $20 range, but do I need an XL (for bikes up to 98 inches long) or an XXL (for bikes up to 107 inches long)?

Ideally, I want it to fit with the bags on and be fairly snug . . . . so the wind doesn't whip it around, so I need the smallest size that will actually fit

Surely some of you guys have experience along these lines? I hope

Thanks!

I am using a Nelson Rigg XL with a top box on the bike, so if you are not using a top box I would think the XL would still be the size you are looking for. For 29.95 the NR cover is the best value.

DON - I use a Wanderer from EZ Touring out in Oregon. Full cover that packs pretty small and great quality. Seems like they were about $90 but well worth the money.

I just received my cover today that I bought from 'maniac_bicycle' on E bay for 80 cents (+ $16.00 shipping). I was extremely leery about it when I bid on it. Thinking, is it going to be a plastic bag...a picture of a cover...a cover for a toy bike? But what the hell, it's 17 bucks I'll take a shot. Imagine my shock when I open the package. It's actually a real cover!! It's made of nylon, almost like a pup tent. All I need it for is to keep the sun and most of the rain off when the bike's parked. And it's red and black so it matches the bike. Best damn 80 cents I've EVER spent. Even if it only lasts the summer.

P.S. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

+1 on the Nelson/Riggs. I've got one for my Wing and the ST which shares it with my BMW F650 as needed. It stows very compact.
