    Default Light Weight Cover for RTS

    I searched for covers and found no threads for covers for the RTS.
    Yes, I got the cover that came with the bike. As you know, it is big, bulky and heavy. Taking it with you requires an entire saddlebag. That does not work for me. And I need to take it with me when touring and staying at motels. Most folks will not fiddle and paw your bike if it is covered. I found that out after years of traveling on GoldWings. Out of sight, out of mind.
    Nelsonrigg makes a great looking cover for Spyders, but their site states not for the RT. Too bad.
    Does anyone know of a like cover for the RT’s?

    Side note: Any problems with the antenna, removing it at night and putting it back on every day, when on the road? I have read several threads about people having problems with theirs, for whatever reason. :

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. Then when you criticize them, you are a mile away and have their shoes.

    The BRP Travel Cover (not the Outdoor Cover that sips with the RTS) takes up 1/4 the room, and has provisions for the antennae. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...t=travel+cover

    I have the BRP travel cover and I love it. Since the RTS is parked in the garage a lot, I don't use the full cover at all. The travel cover works great out here in the AZ sun when I'm out for a ride and I pull over and park. Quick and easy to cover and uncover.
