Can any one recomend a decent motorbike cover manufacturer / supplier, mine has started leaking all over.
It needs to withstand, hurricanes and biblical downpours as I live in a very exposed spot on the side of a mountain in Snowdonia.
Cheers Rich

I got the R&G Superbike cover - mostly for the built in eye to put my chain through.
Fits my STT nicely, has a few vents and a soft insert that sits over seat - maybe to stop it getting wet? The cover is pretty waterproof but leaks a little in very heavy rain - it's single skin so the water passes through where it is touching the bike.

It's had snow on it and been fine.

Oh yeah, it's also got a couple of clips that fit under the bike.

I've also found that the way it sits on the bike means it doesn't touch the headers so you can just chuck it on when you get back in. It will get blown on to them in high wind - I've been planning to so some heavy foil in or something.

Brookes tarpaulins in penmaenmawr or the boat shed in portdinorwic could copy your cover, made with heavy duty waterproof material and put eyelets where you want them.
Why not Knock up a shuttering ply box and bolt to your house, i too live on the side of a mountain and have had a bike cover act as a wind sock and pull the bike over.

I've a couple of Oxford Stormex covers and they do the job nicely. Holes at the front and rear for you chain and are pretty robust.
