Posted June 3, 20159 yr For the foreseeable future I will need to store the XJ6 outside. Anyone have recommendations on type and size of cover? I was looking at the OXFORD stormex in Medium. Will that fit? Any other recommendations?
June 3, 20159 yr Is this in the street or on land that the scrotes can't get to? You will need something that breathes as well cos condensation will rot it in no time if your not running it.
June 3, 20159 yr Author It will be on my private drive and behind a wooden gate / fence. I intend to use the bike as often as I can. I think I had two days where I wanted to use the bike and chose not to over the winter as conditions were too bad. The most I see it stains with the cover on would be a week or so if I was away, other than that I intend to use it. So the cover is really for overnight use mainly.

June 4, 20159 yr Moderator I would recommend the stormex cover. You could also look at motorcycle tents. I used to keep a bike under a cover but use a tent for one of them now. For me it saves the hassle of dragging it into the workshop.
June 20, 20159 yr I've always used the Oxford Aquatex. I use two and they do the job. The inner one always gets dirty with oil and crud etc. Don't make the same mistake as me and put it in the washer because it will ruin all the waterproofing.
June 20, 20159 yr Author I went with a stormex in medium. It's a bit on the baggy side but looks like a good cover so far
