Decent bike covers at your local Walmart

Post by Suzsmokeyallan »

Your local Walmart carries motorcycle covers, they are quite decent units for the price at around $40.00 and come in three sizes, Sport, cruiser and touring.
The covers also come with a neat storage bag so you can pack it on a road trip, theres no cheap plastic lined material here, its also treated at the factory, if i knew what that was they were doing to it, maybe scotch guard???.
The cruiser model fits bikes like the Buffalo and RE5 really well since its got the height to allow for the mirrors and still able to fully reach the ground. You can even lock the cover on and its also shielded inside for being able to take warm exhaust pipes against the fabric if you put the cover on soon after a ride.
One thing ive noticed is that the covers are not symetrical, in so much as its made to fit perfectly to the bike with the steering turned left in the locked position.
The brand is 'Moto gear' and the box packaging is red and black, found in the automotive section.
I hope this info is helpful to those of you wanting or looking for a good quality cover.

They also carry cheap (but good) soft ties to use when trailering. They're about half the bike-shop price.

I recently picked up a pack of four of the rachet tie-downs, 12' in length, working rating of 1100 lbs there for $20. They also have various other length, strength, and strap numbers available.
