Default REAL TALK! motorcycle cover????

im sick and tired of bike shops selling cheap covers that walmart sells for 20 bucks, for 40-60 bucks, first of all. secondly, im disgusted by the cheap quality of these covers.. they dont protect the bike and when it rains, your bike gets SOAKED! im sick and tired of my bike getting wet when it rains. i cant keep my motorcycle indoors so i have to get a GOOD, QUALITY cover! my question is this... WHERE CAN I GET A GOOD COVER FOR MY 2007 ZX-6R? i dont care about the price, i just need a cover that will keep my bike dry when it pours the rain!!! please give me links!!!! i need one ASAP!

Those blue tarps are cheap and they're water proof. Probably not the answer you were looking for, but I can be a smartass sometimes.

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com...lus-Cover.aspx this is the one I have. It does good. When it rains, no water gets thru. But, after about 6 months the inside no scratch liner starts to come undone.

I have a Geza cover. I just use it when I take my bike to work. Don't know if it's water proof.

They are not waterproof. They are made to protect during towing. They are good to keep the sun off also. I use them on my bikes.


Dowco Guardian are pretty good. I've used them in the past.

Same problem. No room at the inn or in the garage for mine either, plusmy mother won't let me park it in the living room soithas to sit outside all year round. I bought a WPS brand cover for it and its done a good job over the past year through some heavy rain storms and snow. A little condensation sometimes makes it way underneath but nothing major. At least now you know that brand works.
