Advice on Bike Cover

Post by SteveH »

I have a 2020 R1250RT with OEM panniers & top box, I'm looking to keep it covered up.

Does anyone use the Oxford Stormex PRO cover? does it fit & cover the bike satisfactorily.

Equally can anyone recommend a good quality heavy duty cover.

Specialized Covers UK can make a custom one but it involves giving a lot of measurements & if it's wrong I'm stuffed, giving their knowledge in making covers I think they are missing a trick as they don't make any covers for bikes.

Hi Steve, Police RT-P with the stormex XL cv333 outdoor. Front fits great, for the rear I really doubt it with the oem panniers ant top box, allready a pretty snug fit on the small police panniers and the radio box....

I've got the Stormex cover too, on a standard 2015 RT. Fits nice and snug with the panniers on.
Remember, ride to arrive alive!

I have Stormex, and it fits with panniers. I don't leave top-box on, so I cannot vouch for that.
It is soft, protective, padded and never burned by exhaust.
I am here to learn.
