Saw this one at JP Cycles website: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/308-377

Looking for a lightweight half-cover that easily packs bag into a small pouch. Just something to keep interested hands off the bike...anybody found one that works really well?

Bought a Geza a couple months ago. It works great. Kinda pricey but a great warranty and if need be can haul the bike with it on.

Big Cat I have used this same cover for two years now and I like the fact that it covers the saddle bags and attaches to the bottom of the bags. I made a hole and fitted a sleeve so that the radio antenna does not have to be removed. I use this any time my bike is parked outside, not only for protection from the sun and weather but it also protects from curious hands............Gordon

The one I bought is a half cover. I only use it on trips. It rolls up small and goes in the saddlebag. I had it custom made and it goes around my Showchrome rack and over the backrest. It has elastic on each end and I tie down to the passenger boards. On and off in about a minute.

I don't Will. It covers the fairing and mirrors completely and the seat and backrest and luggage rack. Go on Geza's website. The have lots of pictures. If I get a chance after the holiday I will put it on and take a pic.

A picture is worth a thousand words but I can't find an F6 photo on Geza Gears website (could be just me)

Pictures would be greatly appreciated :icon_cool:

I'm not in that big of a hurry, take some action shots next summer :cheers:


Thanks

I purchased an EZ Touring cover, packs up small enough to fit in the left cubby.

Your bike appears not to have a passenger backrest, how well would your cover fit an F6 with a factory passenger backrest?

I don't have one of these yet, but it looks like it should do the trick and pack very small

Thanks for all the great ideas! The EZ Touring cover is the best fit for my needs: small enough to pack into a compact pouch and big enough to cover the saddlebags and instruments. I told Santa about it, now we'll see if I can be a good boy until Christmas...:shhh:

I have the Shady Products half cover. You select colors and materials and they custom fit it for my rear seat extension and baggershield.

Can't answer that accurately as I do not have a factory passenger backrest....
However, I did just place a shoebox at the back of the seat and there is still plenty of room for the cover, flipped the shoebox on its side as well, still OK. Not sure if that is an accurate measurement or not.
