Protect Your Bike Properly
Leaving a bike uncovered outside destroys the finish - sun fades paint, rain causes rust, bird droppings etch chrome. Even garage storage needs protection from dust and damp. A good quality cover makes a massive difference to bike condition.
💡 Pro tip: Spend decent money on outdoor covers. Cheap ones last one season. Quality covers last years and actually protect properly.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting a cover is straightforward, choosing the right one matters:
🔧 What to buy Outdoor: Waterproof, UV resistant, vented, lockable hem Indoor: Breathable fabric, dust protection, soft inner Size: Measure bike including mirrors, better slightly big
🛠️ Fitting it right
- Let bike cool completely first
- Drape from front to back
- Pull down sides evenly
- Tuck under wheels or use straps
- Secure lock/straps if outdoor
- Check mirrors/indicators not stressed
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Covering hot bike (melts cover)
- Wrong cover type (waterproof indoors traps moisture)
- Too small cover (won't go over mirrors)
- Not securing outdoor covers (blows away)
💡 Pro trick: For outdoor storage, position bike near a wall and put wall side toward prevailing wind. Cover lasts longer and is less likely to catch wind and flap.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Honest advice: Fitting a cover is easy. Choosing the RIGHT cover for your situation is where expertise helps. Happy to advise even if you're fitting it yourself.
Cover quality matters: £20 covers last one season. £50-80 covers last 3-5 years. Do the maths - quality covers are cheaper long-term.
Lock through cover: Some covers have grommets for securing with lock. Adds security and stops cover being stolen (yes, that happens).
Vents essential outdoors: Condensation forms under waterproof covers. Vents let moisture escape without letting rain in.
Devon weather: Wet winters mean outdoor covers take a hammering. Budget for decent quality if bike lives outside.
Frequently Asked Questions
What cover should I get for outdoor motorcycle storage?
Fully waterproof with UV protection. Look for reinforced seams, lockable bottom, and vents to prevent condensation. Indoor storage needs breathable covers to avoid moisture buildup.
How do I know what size cover I need?
Measure your bike length, width, and height including mirrors. Covers come in size ranges (S/M/L/XL). Better slightly too big than too small - you can always cinch it tighter.
Will a cover protect against theft?
Slows thieves down and hides what bike it is, but it's not security. Use proper locks through wheels and frame. Some covers have lockable hems which helps but isn't foolproof.
How long do motorcycle covers last?
Outdoor covers - 2-3 years if decent quality. Cheaper ones maybe one winter. Indoor covers last way longer as they don't get UV and weather beating. Spend decent money on outdoor covers.
Can you help choose the right cover?
Yes - send me your bike make/model and whether it's indoor or outdoor storage. I'll advise on what type you need and can source it, or fit one you've bought.
