Motorcycle covers question

[gyle]

Hey Everyone...
So it looks like my first bike is going to be a 2007 Honda Shadow Spirit 750! :yahoo: I'm really excited, might be getting it this weekend if everything goes smoothly. Anyhow the bike will be stored outside during the spring, summer and fall, so I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good cover for it. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Do you want a tarp type cover or a stand up cover that you can roll the bike into, and do you have a NTE budget amount?

I think I'm good with just a tarp type cover...don't really think I have a budget at this point. Less than $300? This will be a starter bike that I may keep for a couple years, so if the cover can be used for my next, bigger bike that'd be nice...but not necessary I guess.

When I had to park outside, I got a cheap cover off of ebay that worked really well. Until I put it on too soon and my header pipes melted the so called heat covers. Yea, that was a mess cleaning up. I got another one that I lost on a road trip and replaced that with one from Pep Boys that I still have.

I used it the most when I lived in California and it was great at blocking the uv rays that fade stuff. I didn't spend more than $30 for it.
