I have many m/c covers. Sometimes one gets tired of using covers, so had to try something different. A tent made sense, but ultimately when the sun beats down on it day-after-day, the plastic treated or plastic-based product will fail.

Interesting thread, thanks for bringing it current GO. I've been looking for something like this. My situation is similar to Krupator's, it would be interesting to hear how he made out.

Krupator hasn’t been on here since 2016. I’m thinking we aren’t going to find out how he did.

Thanks KiowaEagle.
Here is a product I used out of British Columbia, Canada:

I used the Tourer model. Lots of room to slink around inside.
The concept works, but the treated canvas did not perform to my expectations. I suspect desert sun would really shorten the life of the material causing more frequent cover replacement.
Maybe similar competitor versions perform better in the sun.

That's a shame....
I use a cover but I can't tell you how many times I've gotten home from a ride and it starts raining within a hour, too early to put the cover on, then it rains for days. It would be nice to have something like this that can cover it immediately. If anyone else can comment, please do.
Edit: You commented as I was writing this. Thanks for the input GO.

Had a couple of these, for years, I was very happy with them. Great all-weather protection and very light. Both went with the vehicles, Valkyrie and Porsche, and are probably still in use today.
