Hi Diversion Fans,
Can anyone recommend a good motorcycle rain cover that will fit a 600cc Diversion S? It has to keep rain and snow off.
I have been using a Motrax Heavy Duty (Medium size) Cover, but after 18 months it has worn out, tearing and pulling apart. Disappointing. I have tried a brand new Oxford Stormex Medium (£65.00), but it is a bad fit - very tight indeed (not quite big enough) and its ventilation pockets position in such a way as to be able to let rain in! Also, it has a heavy elastic skirt making it difficult to get on. Not recommended.
Thoughts please.
Best, RB

I find that a garage does well at keeping rain and snow off.  I have also used a extra large BBQ cover while i couldn't get the bike in the garage, quite square, easy to pull over the bike, pull tight corn round the bottom. £12.99 from B&Q I had it two years now and although its now back on the BBQ it worded fine on the bike. |

Thank you both for your thoughts, useful and interesting. meerkat: Sadly, I do not currently have the luxury of a garage - something I am looking to address. I was beginning to think similarly, tarpaulins, ground sheets, etc. @ukdiceman: That looks pretty good and a decent price too! They describe it as Oxford material, presumably in homage to Oxford Brand covers? Are you happy with its quality and level of weather protection? The Oxford Stormex I tried (bought and returned) was a nice material, but as mentioned was a bad fit and also too 'fussy' - number plate window panels, solar battery charger pouch and air vents that would let in water (when fitted to an XJ600S). Thanks again, RB |

There are no windows or openings for chargers etc, no water gets in at all. the only elastic is just at the front and rear tyres, quality is very good.

@cd: Many thanks. Although I can see the possible advantages, the 'bike tent' design is not what I am looking for right now. Thanks for the links.
@ukdiceman: Many thanks. On your kind recommendation, have just ordered one! :-) Appreciate it.
Best, RB.
