Are you sure the biggest Oxford Stormex won't fit? My deauville with top box fitted fits under mine fine.

https://www.coveryourbike.co.uk/

Didn't use them, bought a Specialised cover of of eBay, it was great until the cat made a bed out of it. Tried to order one direct from specialised, was a nightmare of not what I ordered. Looks like they have since had a new website made and are no longer advertising motorcycle covers, which is a shame as they are good covers.

Coveryourbike seems to use the same material.

A recipe for getting the bike blown over if its really windy though. I haven't been using mine of late.

I have one of these, it's massive. Covers my hornet down to the ground, keeps it dry.

Bargain. Thumbs Up

Picked up the Oxford Stormex (large) today - more than happy with it. Covers my PC800 with plenty of room to spare. Slightly too big i suppose but it aint going to fit everyones bike snugly

I use a couple of cheap plastic self assembly greenhouses with the one piece ripstop cover I bought from B&M for 25 quid each, just ride the bike straight in, no hassle and costs peanuts. I have two 125cc bikes in each with little to no hassle from condensation and if used for a single bike they give you just enough room to work at the bike. Homebase and B&q also sell these greenhouses as do other discount stores, well worth the money and cost no more than a decent bike cover.

Not being daft or anything, but if you are just looking to keep the frost off the bike, and can't find a bike cover that fits, have you considered using a decent tarp?

My Divvy often lives under a tarp* as with its luggage racks finding a cover that goes over it is a pain.

(* until the winds recently "stole" the tarp... Sad )

R&G cover got RIDE best buy, seem to be the best price at busters

got a medium on my street triple, has lots of elastication round the rim so the 3 ties underneath although useful are redundant, no amount of wind will disturb it and I've been using covers for 20 years
