DowcoGuardian 50005-07 WeatherAll Plus Indoor/Outdoor Waterproof Motorcycle Cover: Grey, XX-Large

Fits the R1250RT w/ the two rear bags perfectly. I have had other R's w/ the rear case, and from what I can tell, this cover would not be a good fit for this bike w/ the rear case on it.Used mostly for the direct sun of Florida, and occasional rain. Seems to be perfect for that purpose. When parked in the garage, it provides basic dust, not not much shock absorption. But in return, it's not so thick that I can easily roll it up and fit it in one of the two rear cases. Nice balance of protection and convenience.Would buy again.

I had to order an XL for my Africa twin 2022 and use it with no top case , previously I ordered a touring size and was too small, My bike is outside and already got some heavy rains and everything by the moment is like the description said. Really nice.

I've been using the sportbike version of this cover on my 2012 Yamaha R1 now for 3 straight seasons of outdoor storage and it works really well as a daily-use cover and fits like a glove. The fitment literally couldn't be any more perfect for this bike and it's almost like they form fit it specifically for it rather than being a universal sport-bike cover. It keeps debris and the majority of the rain from completely soaking the bike and helps add a measure of anti-theft to the bike by making the bike less obvious to the casual passer-by.The motorcycle cover comes with a single strap that runs under the bike and clips into a buckle on a strap on the other side of the cover to help keep it on the bike and it does a fine job at that. I've yet to have this thing shift or move barely an inch through many heavy wind and rainstorms.The interior of this cover is a fairly soft material that shouldn't harm your paint finish as long as the bike is relatively clean, since you don't want to throw any cover on a dirty bike and scrape the dirt into the soft clearcoat finish. One thing to watch out for though is that you can get some light scratches on a plastic sportbike windscreen with this cover even though it has a sewn-in white windscreen protector in the section that lays on the windscreen. I figured this out fairly quickly and I take two microfiber towels and drape them in overlapping fashion over my windscreen so that the cover isn't laying directly on it and it will be protected from abrasion by the microfiber towels, and the cover fits tight enough to hold them in place as long as you put the cover on starting in the front of the bike and then slide the towels in under it after the front 1/3 of the cover is in place (over the front wheel and ready to go over the windscreen).This cover is not completely waterproof and it will let some water through to your bike if store outside, particularly as the cover ages. There is also a little vent built into the cover that goes in the corner where your left-hand mirror is which helps you line the cover up with the front of the bike and allows trapped moisture to escape out from under the cover. If you plan on using this outside as a permanent winter cover to get you through a snowy off-season, I recommend putting this cover on and then putting a tarp over it while you have another tarp under the bike, this way you are keeping as much moisture as possible off of it while it hibernates through the dreary winter misery of a cold place like New England.One thing I don't like about this cover are that the buckles on the straps aren't lined with some sort of soft material. I'm always very careful when putting this cover on because they can sometimes smack against the painted surfaces of the bike and it feels like they might make small scratches. Maybe if there were a fabric cover of some sort going around the latches it might help prevent this from happening, although it might make it harder to use the buckles. There is a large white and red "Guardian" symbol on the front of the cover that helps make it obvious to you where the front of the cover is, but it would be nice if it had some sort of reflective striping down the back of the cover both for safety purposes and so that it was easier to find the back of it when you are picking the cover up while it's folded or balled up in storage. I often have to hunt and fumble around a bit to locate the "Guardian" symbol when I am putting this cover on by myself so I can tell where the front of it is and this could be a lot easier with the rear portion also marked.I would definitely recommend this cover to other riders, especially since I can't think of any better alternatives for the money. I am giving it 5 stars, but I would like to give it 4.5 if half-stars were an option just due to the windscreen-scratch threat and the latches also being potential scratch hazards.

I have one of these for my 2009 FZ6R. It fits perfectly on that. So I bought one for my 2022 MT-09. It fits ok but the front wheel is a little exposed. It will do just fine for my purposes in the summer but I’ll need something a little bigger going into the future.

If you have to store your bike outdoors, the Dowco cover will do a reasonably decent job of protecting it. One drawback is that you cannot put the cover on until the exhaust system has fully cooled down, usually a 15-20 minutes delay. If the cover ever touches a hot pipe it will instantly melt and leave a horrible, hard black coating on the pipe that will be very hard to get off. Whatever Dowco may say about "improved heat resistance", assume none.

I had to order 3 different sizes until I found the one that fits the way I like it. I ended up keeping the XL for my Honda Shadow 750.

I have only had it a week or so. But it has a good quality feel to it. It fit my bike like a glove. I am optimistic about this product.

Finally a cover I like! Went through several looking for a fit. My BMW r1200rt is a wide bike. Kind of bulky. Otherwise love.

Very good product, I used to own a Oxford Protex Stretch and this product blows this out of the water. Brilliant cover. Even comes with a compression sack, for easy carriage.

Top quality, perfect for what i need.

I purchased this cover last year to protect my motorcycle from sun and rain when parked at work. All the glued seams came apart in the heat. I contacted the company about a replacement, they told me to ship them the old one at my cost to them in the United States ($68.00 through Canada Post with tracking). After which they would decide if it falls under warranty. Avoid This Bad Company At All Cost.As A Side Note; when I bought my BBQ cover and it started to fall apart, that company had me take detailed pictures of said item, before shipping a new item out.

My motorcycle is outside all summer, rain and shine. I've had numerous covers over the years.. that sun said and leak after an hours down pour. A friend recommended this Dowco Guardian 50124-00 WeatherAll Plus Indoor, and I made the investment. Well, right out of the pac I could feel the guilty difference, fabric, stitching, details... then we had a week straight of solid soaking rain. When the sun finally came back out I pulled the cover off and my bike was pristine. I'm totally impressed and wish I'd have just spent the money on this one years ago and saved the headache. Stay safe, ride safe!

I got the SP model for my Yamaha XSR700; I highly recommend you go go to the Dowco website to search for your motorcycle, and make sure of fitment because these fit tight! Honestly for my bike, the SP size (aka Medium size) fits very tight and it's a bit of a chore to put on the bike; there's no loose fabric, everything's pretty stretched and a tight fit when on, but I think that's the idea! As a result water really drips down, after downpours my bike is perfectly dry, and the little venting enclosure lets air out in order to combat condensation.A bit pricey, should honestly be around $80 to be considered an incredible value, but the quality is definitely well above what you find at big box stores.Just make sure you have the right model for your motorcycle and you won't regret your purchase!
