Cover for R1250RS with panniers? - JtL - 04-24-2023
Does anyone have any recommendations for a light travel cover for the RS? US purchase, btw.
Really looking for something to keep inquisitive fingers away while traveling (although I fully realize a cover only helps keep honest people honest) as well as weather/pollen/bird droppings etc protection.
Ideally, somewhat form fitted, light weight, packs small.

Works similarly for the RS, for which it was purchased. Without the topbox it reaches around the panniers even better.

Grumpy Goat - appreciate the effort, but for some reason this video isn't playable at my end.

Same for me - sorry. Try now. I just put the plain URL in the above message and it worked for me.

Something that fits RT or possibly GS/GSA would work

Thanks!
Not shy about their advertising though, which is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

I can't open it. What brand is it?

Thanks.
That covers the light duty side of things.
Any suggestions for a full bike cover, still including panniers, light-ish weight and reasonably packable?

I used the medium size cover on the RS allowing the panniers and tail bag to stay on the bike. The bike has been in some heavy rains and winds with the over protecting the tank bag and helmet sitting on the passenger seat. Everything stayed dry. I have the black one as the grey was not offered when I purchased mine.

Full covers are usually bulky because of the heavier heat resistant material on the lower half of the cover.
E-Z Touring has a full cover using the same thin rip stop material as the half cover I mentioned above but you'll need to make sure the bike is cooled down before putting it on because the lower half is not heat resistant.

I use an Ultraguard Tour Half cover that I had left from my '08 Goldwing. It's durable, keeps the bike dry even through the two day monsoon we had last week in Ellijay GA, fits well, packs very small and is inexpensive. Here's a link to one vendor.
