I will be picking up my new 2013 F6B (149 original miles) in a couple weeks. My current circumstances force me to park my bike outside, which means a cover is an invaluable asset. I have used different brands of covers in the past for my bikes, but I really like the looks and fit of the OEM cover mentioned in this thread. I have a couple of questions I hope someone can answer.
Is this cover suitable for constant outdoor storage during the summer months?
The stock photo seems to show the bike covered with the front tire straight, rather than with the tire turned to the side with the frontend lock engaged. Does this cover fit properly when the frontend lock is engaged?
I have the OEM cover, the cover does fit just fine with the steering locked.
Not sure it would be suitable for outdoor storage, the seams are not waterproof, also not sure what the UV rating is for extended periods of direct sunlight.
I had an old "EZ-Touring" cover that lasted 20 years with no sun damage or rips, take a look at them.
I did buy a new EZ-Touring cover for my F6B the day after I brought it home, packs up very small, great for long trips or camping too.
