Now that's a cover...more like a tent. Depending on where you live that's pretty neat. Not bashing it by any means, but it probably wouldn't work well in some locations where it's exposed to much wind. If you can park in a downwind location or dead air space up against a building/object that protects it against prevailing winds, that would work pretty well.

It doesn't get super windy up in NH, but it is anchored down to a sheet of plywood, the bike is also on top of the plywood so it is pretty sturdy. And with snow, the tarp makes the snow slide off when it gets a too heavy but I still go out and push the snow off if there is more than say 5 inches on top.

Motogear Cover off Amazon. Covered my KTM, DRZ and KLX. Under $40 for one, bought two. Check out sizing. Three different styles, I got the Sport. Seems to fit off road bikes great. My bikes stay dry, there's venting and clips to secure the bottom for windy conditions. Just my two cents....

The material I use is sunbrella canvas which is expensive but in my opinion worth it. It is guaranteed for ten years. I can make it most any color. The cover would be $300 plus tax and shipping from Ca. If you are interested let me know and I can get you some more info.
Can you post a pic? I cant find it

Thanks guys. For this purpose I'm going to try a basic Nelson Rigg type setup and if that proves unworthy, I may go with a more refined solution. I appreciate all the input.

Hey, I'm not saying it doesn't get windy haha.
I just know that we don't get crazy winds, tornadoes or hurricanes very often lol.
That snow storm we got back in February, my bike was fine outside for that whole storm.
And that was a windy snow storm lol.
And for those of you who don't know about this storm, my bike garage/tent thing stood up to this.
