Title: Who Has a Half Cover?
Post by: oldsmoboat on August 29, 2012, 07:31:57 PM: What size is it? Mainly want to cover windscreen/dash, tank and seat.
Want to get one for when I ride to work. Full cover takes up too much room on the ride there and back.

Post by: GVmerle on September 01, 2012, 07:28:23 PM: I have been using the Geza on all my bikes for several years and love it. Not waterproof if that is what you are looking for but lightweight, compact and easy on and off.

Post by: F-106 on September 02, 2012, 09:29:46 AM: I have the covermax on my 06. Works great and it come with a bag to keep it in . With the trunk off it will cover the bags with the trunk on it does not but does provide airflow between the set and the cover during summer months. It is reversable, black on one side and silver on the other.

Post by: JDM on September 22, 2012, 11:09:46 AM: I had this made up as a rain cover at PARKER ENTERPRISES, Harrison, AR. It is made from heavy Codura Nylon and the best quality made in the USA. They should have the pattern for mine, which is designed to cover my tank bag as well. These folks are very flexible when it comes to working with you on your design and they can also do monogramming. http://www.parkerems.com/aboutus.htm (http://www.parkerems.com/aboutus.htm) JD

P.S. This is Bev, JD's other half. I couldn't help but notice that Man of Blues has a shop just as organized as JD's.
