Perhaps I am not searching correctly, but I have not found information I am seeking about "waterproof" bike covers for the Wing. It appears that most are at best, water resisitant. I am hopeful of finding a cover that is 100% waterproof yet breathable. Maybe my interest is a pipe dream, but I am still looking. One other condition I would "prefer," is that the cost is not prohibitive or unreasonable. By that I mean, I might have to be satisfied with a cover that "helps" keep out the rain.

I had a cover I bought at Wal Mart and used on the VTX for about $30, but it allowed far too much rain through.

Also, I am considering the 1/2 cover models but would like to have some opinions from those who use them.

Please help if you can.

Thanks,

Todd

Seems every time I use a "waterproof" cover, the condensation under the cover is worse then the rain on top.

So, I went to the Tour King (http://tourkingcovers.com/shop/) half cover. It's small, packs easily, and keeps most of the moisture off the important parts of the bike.

All disclaimers apply...

Unless you've found one that seals at the bottom, all covers are breathable. If HDL doesn't have one, check www.denniskirk.com.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have looked at the Tourkings, and will check DK to see if they have anything I have not already reviewed. I appreciate your help.

I used tent spray repellent on my Dowco cover..

While at the Hoot a couple of years ago, I saw a vendor selling a cover made of the same (or similar) material as the Frogg Togg rainsuits. He claimed it to be 100% waterproof. Sure wish I could remember the vendor's name.

Scotchguard works, and it's less costly than a high dollar cover.

personally...I've used the ULTRAGARD® PREMIER COVERS for many years and the rain doesn't go thru...they are a tad bulky, but keep the bike dry...ride safe....

I have a Nelson-Riggs half cover now. It also resists UV. So far I like it for sun and rain protection when I'm parked. I'd be afraid of condensation in a waterproof full cover.

I'm with DT on the TourKing. The guy that makes these covers told me "if you want 100% waterproof, then keep the bike parked in your garage", but his covers are about as close to waterproof as you'll get. They're made for specific models of different bikes, so the fit is right, and pack small so little room is taken up with the cover when not in use.

Neosho Fiberglass makes the cover you have been looking for. They sell Starlight Trailers. Go to: http://neoshotrailers.com/ . They are pricey and bulky. It can be found under Starlight Trailers and then click on Accesories.

The covers at the link below are completely waterproof. Consequently the bike should never be covered while wet or left covered in direct sunlight. I hope this helps.

Many thanks to all who have posted their helpful suggestions and comments. I do appreciate each of you for doing so. So many apparently good choices. :roll: Now, what to do, what to do??? :?

I will decide tho'.

Thanks,

You can look at this EZTouring Cover also.
Very Light Weight, very compact to store. Very waterproof. I've used them for 12 years. They roll up pretty small very similar to the exigent covers. I bought a new one for my GL1800 at Americade.
Hope this helps.

I use Ultraguard half-cover. Never had a problem with rain getting through- just some light condensation. Have heard bad experiences with full covers in strong winds becoming sails and taking the bike over.

Todd,
I have the Nelson-Rigg full and half covers and they work brilliantly! I am also thrifty and they were not very expensive I can't seem to remember who I purchased them from.
Good Luck.
