New! DuraShield Standard Motorcycle Cover

DuraShield Covers has a new motorcycle cover available. The Standard Motorcycle Cover is similar to our Lined Motorcycle Cover but without a cotton lining for a lower price. The Standard bike cover is lightweight for travel and folds up into a tight package for storage.

The DuraShield Standard Motorcycle Cover is versatile for indoor and outdoor use. The 300 denier poly fabric is waterproof, dustproof, and UV resistant. The lower portion of the cover is constructed with heat-resistant material that will not melt on hot pipes. No need to wait for your bike to cool down before installing the motorcycle cover!

A premium “Vent X” venting system allows condensation to evaporate without damaging your engine, pipes, or chrome, while effectively blocking rain and snow from seeping through the cover.

Grommets and tie downs are included for keeping the motorcycle cover secured in windy conditions. You can also thread a cable lock through the grommets to secure the cover and act as a theft deterrent for your bike.

A matching storage bag comes with the motorcycle cover at no extra cost. Use this handy storage bag to store your cover when not in use. This cover is available in X-large, large, and medium sizes. Free shipping on all orders to the continental United States!

Use soft lower covers in cold weather to protect your legs.

If you ride your bike in cooler weather, engine guard chaps are a great way to protect your legs from the cold. Soft lower covers are handy, since they fold to fit in your saddle bags for easy storage.

One of the features you should look for in a pair of engine guard chaps is a pocket or two on the inside of the soft lowers. The extra storage space comes in handy, especially on a cold or rainy day.

The soft lowers should be easy to put on and take off. Complicated straps or lacings will make it a pain to install or remove the covers, so choose a simple snap, buckle, or Velcro system if possible.

The soft lower covers should fit snugly to keep them from buffeting in the wind. The better they fit, the more aerodynamic they will be and the more they will protect you from the cold. If you have highway pegs, make sure the lower covers will fit before you buy them.

When the temperature rises above 50 degrees, take off the engine guard chaps to avoid overheating the engine. You’ll also get better mileage without the chaps in place when you don’t need them.

Wash your motorcycle cover by hand with warm soapy water.

Your motorcycle cover will provide the best protection if you keep it clean and use it properly. The following tips will help you take care of your motorcycle cover so that it can fully protect your bike.

How should I clean my motorcycle cover?

The best way to wash your motorcycle cover is to hand wash it with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Machine washing and harsh cleaning products can degrade the waterproof and UV coatings on the fabric. Let the cover air dry. Do not tumble dry. For tough stains that don’t wash out with soap and water, use a mild liquid detergent to spot treat the stains. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

Can I install the motorcycle cover on a hot bike?

Motorcycle covers with heat-resistant panels are safe for hot pipes. The panel is designed to withstand high temperatures and won’t melt on your pipes. If your motorcycle cover does not include heat-resistant panels, wait until the pipes cool down to install the cover.

Can I install the motorcycle cover on a wet bike?

We recommend letting the bike dry (or using a soft towel to dry it) before installing the cover. Although your motorcycle cover is breathable, it is designed to keep moisture out. Too much moisture trapped underneath the cover can affect the cover’s performance.

The motorcycle cover should be tight enough to prevent excessive wind flapping.

In windy conditions, your motorcycle cover should be tied down tightly to prevent flapping in the wind. Excessive wind flapping can shred and destroy the cover and even damage the finish on your bike. Whenever possible, park your motorcycle in a sheltered area that provides at least some protection from the wind.

Fabric and Fit

The more snugly your motorcycle cover fits your bike, the less the cover will flap in the wind. Extra fabric can snap violently in strong winds. If the wind is strong enough, you’ll want to use more tie downs to secure the cover tightly to your motorcycle.

A heavier weight fabric performs better in windy conditions than a lightweight motorcycle cover. Air vents also help to prevent excessive lofting by allowing airflow underneath the cover.

Towing

Wind turbulence during towing is another problem. Make sure the motorcycle cover you use for travel is approved for towing. The cover must be snug and securely attached to the motorcycle. DuraShield motorcycle covers are not approved for towing on an open trailer. The wind flapping could easily rip apart the cover or damage your bike’s finish.

A motorcycle dust cover keeps dirt and dust off your bike.

One of the questions we hear motorcycle riders ask is, “Why do I need a motorcycle cover if my bike is stored in the garage?”

If you keep your motorcycle outside, the reasons for a cover are more obvious: protection from rain, dew, dirt, dust, and other elements. But if your motorcycle is pampered enough to earn a spot in the garage or even in the house, you might think you can get by without a cover. But a motorcycle cover still serves an important purpose, even if you store your bike indoors.

Dust and Dirt Protection

After washing and waxing your bike, you’ll want to keep it clean with a motorcycle cover. Dust and dirt can build up on your bike if you don’t protect it. When the garage door opens and closes, it stirs up dust that will settle on your bike, so it’s especially important to keep your motorcycle covered in the garage. During winter storage, a motorcycle cover will keep your bike clean and ready to ride when spring comes again.

Moisture Protection and Humidity

The more humid the environment where you live is, the more breathable your motorcycle cover needs to be. The higher the humidity, the more moisture that builds up underneath the motorcycle cover. With a breathable indoor motorcycle cover (such as 100% cotton), the moisture can escape easily without causing rust or other damage. The cotton cover keeps dirt and dust off your bike but allows condensation to evaporate easily.

"The cotton lining is top notch and the size (large) is perfect for my '09 sport bike." - Sharon W.

Travel Motorcycle Cover

“Fabulous, we bought 2 for a Harley Softail and Kawasaki Vulcan with windshields. They fit perfect. As for being weatherproof, not an issue—we only wanted them to keep the dust off while stored in the garage. Elastic bottom fits tight, and it will completely cover the front wheel, saddlebags and rear tire.”
- Philip G.

- “ElixirMixer”

“Very nice…the other one I have is just as good; the big difference is the soft cotton liner…I put [the other one on] a large windshield and was worried that taking it off and on would eventually scratch it. With this one I have no worries…but I’m still careful. THANKS…if you’re looking, go with this one.”
- Phil S.

“Read other reviews on this cover and finally decided to purchase it. Received item very quick! 3 days is very good for free shipping to Hawaii. When opening box, cover came with several bungee cords and a carrying bag. Cover fit perfectly over my 87 Honda Magna and just snug enough. Haven’t used it in the rain, but for a basic motorcycle cover it is a good buy. The cover also has a soft cotton lining on the upper area of cover and a couple of vents at the rear.”

Measure your bike to find the right size motorcycle cover. Don't just rely on manufacturer's specifications.

Don’t rely on the bike manufacturer’s specifications to find the right size cover for your motorcycle. Measure the bike for yourself. Use a tape measure to find the distance from the very front of the bike to the point furthest to the rear. Include any accessories that you want protected underneath the cover.

Sizing

If the cover manufacturer has a sizing chart, use the chart as a guide to find the right size cover for your motorcycle. Then compare your bike measurements with the cover dimensions to make sure the cover is large enough to fit your motorcycle. If your motorcycle is between sizes, choose the larger cover to make sure your bike will be fully protected.

Extras

Check the motorcycle cover specifications to see if it will accommodate windshields, fairings, sissy bars, back rests, tour packs, and any other extras on your bike.

For indoor storage in high humidity areas, a cotton motorcycle dust cover offers maximum breathability.

One of the best ways to protect your motorcycle from humidity in the garage is to use a breathable motorcycle cover. Mold and mildew thrive in moist, humid conditions, and when humidity gets trapped under your motorcycle cover, it creates prime conditions for the growth of mold and mildew.

To prevent this, you need a cover with a good ventilation system that allows condensation to evaporate before it causes damage to your bike or cover.

Motorcycle covers vary in their level of breathability. The most breathable covers are cotton dust covers, which are designed for indoor storage only. Lightweight covers are not as breathable as cotton, but they provide protection from rain and moisture. Full storage covers that are waterproof must include a ventilation system in order to allow the cover to breathe.

The cover should be long enough to reach at least halfway down the wheels, but there should be a few inches, but there should be a few inches of space between the bottom of the cover and the ground. The extra space makes the cover more breathable.

After you wash your bike or ride in the rain, make sure the bike dries completely before installing the cover. For extra protection in areas with high humidity, you may want to consider using a desiccant to absorb moisture under the cover. If you store your cover in a humid garage, we recommend a cotton dust cover for maximum breathability.
