[xBhp Universal Thread]: Motorcycle covers

[deviil]

Hi,

I would like to know which are the most ideal covers for motorcycles. This would be to protect the bike from dust as well as rain. The normal covers that come are light and keep bloating if air blows from beneath them.

I had seen a thicker cover at a bike shop and the owner mentioned he was using it for his Suzuki GSXR and it cost him 2k.

Are there any other options or what is the best thing to use for covering our bikes.

I use the Bajaj covers available at some outlets to cover all my bikes. They are thin, bloat up with wind like a flying skirt, but there is a provision for tying it down underneath.

I use Oxford Rainex on my bike, cost me around $65. These cover your bike completely and there is a provision to lock the cover to your front and rear wheels. Dust proof, rain proof and kid proof. Here's a picture:

Looks fantastic. Is it available as universal size? Hope you'd bought from Japan/US.

Thanks. It is a size M, and I bought it from Melbourne last month. It is a British brand though.

Got it from Aus. It is not PVC, there are two fabrics used - the black colored one is coated polyester (normally used in sports jackets) with fabric lining, something like what is used in the lining of formal shoes. The silver colored fabric near the exhaust area is heat proof and is again polyester with a fire-retardant coating. That area also has fabric lining, but of a different texture. The bike is a Kawasaki Ninja 250R, but I plan to get another one for my RE in a couple of months.

Nice cover

Thanks mate!

Are they available in mumbai or india where they can be ordered.

i use the covers available from RelianceMart, from their automobile section. around 260 bucks, lasts me a good 8-10 months, then i go and buy a new one. You can clip it below your bike, and it fits all my bikes, from the RXZ to the T-bird, to the R15 to the ninja.

[deviil]

I dont know about the Reliance Mart covers, because something for 265 doesent sound it would meet the requirements. Anyways i am ready to try it. Could you please tell me where i can get these covers in Mumbai

[jd666]

^^ reliance mart where else. They are adequate for normal usage. But obviously not in the league of the one in the pic.

This is from the website getgeared.co.uk.

I would like to if i could buy such a cover in mumbai directly as there is a lot of charges to order this online and get it delivered in mumbai.

Please help.

I'm not sure how I can help here, but this cover will go over Rs.5,000 easy even if you find this in Mumbai. I have the same cover, and I paid $80 when I picked it myself overseas. So it is unlikely that you will find this selling in Mumbai without someone charging duties/profit over the $80 price.

Best is to have a friend get it for you from their trip abroad.

thanks Bluevolt,

Anybody else with any other options please

I have Oxford Aquatex, which I purchased from Performance Racing Mumbai for 3.5K..

Better quality than our normal bike covers, so better protection from dust and rain and also with cover locking system. But no heat proof near the exhaust area or dual fabric, as for bluevolt's Rainex

I suggest to check for a different model which would have more features.

You can get it from Performance Racing Store or Ultimate Auto Impex.... both are in Tardeo, Mumbai.


Attached the pics of my bike cover.
