    Looking for a good heavy duty cover...

    The one I got off ebay is about saran wrap thickness. No liner. Cheap chinese crap. It might keep the dust off of it...
    I stupidly washed the one I had which resulted in the liner falling apart.
    I'd like opinions from the guys.
    Thanks!

    I have a Nelson Rigg and a Dowco. Both good.

      I'm using an 8X12 heavy duty weight tarp, $8 at Walmart.

        I like the Nelson Rigg. Used them for my BMW, Connie, and XS11. They last, are a good price.

          I have a light weight dowco, it seems good quality but I store it indoors. Do not use a tarp outside unless you don't care about rust. They do not breathe and trap in the moisture.

            Nelson it is, then. Thanks guys.
            And yeah, it's not up on blocks in my front yard so I won't be using a tarp.
