vayduh Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vayduh Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 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.

Moderator Cynic Posted June 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2015 The dont bother with a cover. Once dirt gets under it it will do as much damage as it saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator DirtyDT Posted June 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louie J. Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I bought a Ultragard form 4 Wheel Online. Not that pricey but really effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouch Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 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.

vayduh Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 I went with a stormex in medium. It's a bit on the baggy side but looks like a good cover so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
