Need travel cover recommendations

[PrairieSpyder]

I want to buy a travel cover for my RT-S, but can't spend as much as the BRP one costs. So I'm considering one of these 3:

Nelson-Rigg, nylon with a soft backing:

Champion, polyester, with soft backing in the windshield area:

another polyester one with a soft windshield backing:

My inclination is to save a buck, but maybe y'all have some experience with these. I'd appreciate your input. Thx.

BIKE COVER

[HI, I have the NELSON RIGG cover, I love it, and I have had it 2yrs now, use it at work, very easy to put on, only draw back was the fabric has faded quite a bit. I think it was around $80.00 bucks.

I have the full cover from Nelson-Rigg (not the travel one) and the quality is very good. I would trust the company for the travel cover.

I have been looking at the same covers.

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Problem solved for me.

 

[Wiredux]

What one did you decide on?

A fellow SpyderLover is selling me a BRP cover.

:2thumbs: Glad to hear it!
From my own personal experience; if you want to save money, just scrimp on the stuff that doesn't really matter. For the important stuff; do top shelf and you're rarely disappointed... :thumbup:

I have the BRP full cover (still in the box!) but got the Nelson Rigg half cover. I love it and use it when I park overnight somewhere other than my garage, if there's rain or at the mall to keep the spectators off.

What happens to the antenna(s) with these covers? Are there slots or holes for them?

Yep! There are two antenna spots you can sort of see the left one. They're "holes" with two velcro tabs. I put the antenna through first then bring the cover over the front of the spyder.

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Good question. :dontknow: I was going to wait till I get one to find out. However, the 3rd one I linked to said there's a Velcro closing around the antennae.

UPDATE: Contacted Nelson Rigg and there is velco on each side for the antenna(s).

Curious too as antenna is shown on thier site but it's not very helpful.
