Wanted: Rain cover

[dnbosiris]

Hey, does anyone know where I can get a half decent rain cover for a vfr800, either new or used in Perth?

Must stand up to stormy conditions and keep everything dry

The Supercheap Auto ones aren't bad.

I had the "Silver" one which lasted over a year parked at the airport 9 days of the fortnight, started to go a bit thin and was no longer keeping any water at all out.

Have the "Gold" one now and keeps all water off the bike. Have come back a couple of times and the cover is drenched but my bike is dry as.

Both have a strap to clip together underneath, the gold one has a much tighter elastic around the bottom so pretty secure. The sizing is a bit weird though. The small (advertised to 500cc) is what I use on a 650L and its a real good fit. No room for flapping but entire bike is covered.

Nice, I was looking at those ones but weren't sure if they were good at keeping water out. I'll go have a look tomorrow. Cheers.

how come?

how come?

Windy days or areas will see the bike cover act like a wind sail and pull the bike over. Not an absolute given but have seen enough bikes napping at the airport to convince me not to try the same. A snug fitting one is better than one that flaps around. Should be fine if in a small, enclosed area but where subjected to large, open expanses I'd rather my bike get wet and stay upright.

Mine fits tight so the profile is no bigger than the bike by itself anyway and I ensure it doesn't flap around. Plus I always park along the side where the cars will block most of the wind (t3/4 that is, don't know what the t1 is like)
