I get the Cycle Gear Bilt covers. If I do a couple coatings of 303 I can get a good two seasons out of them (the sun in phoenix is brutal). They came out with a much more expensive cover that I've had maybe three years. The fabric faded from black to light grey in fairly short order but the bit that bugs me the most, the seam tape over the seams failed in less than a year. However; the fabric is still holding strong.
But on their cheaper model eventually they develop a tear - typically around but not limited to the mirrors. But they do the job of keeping the sun, bird poop, 75% of the desert dust and other crud off the bikes. Alas; the cats like to lay under them, especially in the winter. Since they earn their keep by eating the fruit rats they get a pass.
I pick them up on sale, they are simply not worth their retail price. Just picked up one yesterday. Don't need it yet - but I will.
The plan is to put a ramada over the area where I park the bikes; hopefully that will help me get an extra year out of them.
