Nelson Rigg UV-2000-03-LG Silver Large Motorcycle Half Cover

We were looking for something easy for a trip to Strugis that is not top difficult to remove frequently to help with the sun and possible rain since weather there is so unpredictable. This was affordable and has everything we needed

Just what I needed to cover the bike while I'm at work. Medium fits great on a 2005 honda 919 with bar end mirrors.

Haven't had it or used it outside long enough to determine how well it's going to hold up but works pretty well size-wise on my 2019 BMW R nineT Scrambler, although doesn't completely cover the valve covers it does get over my small windscreen, rear luggage rack & side saddle bag (it's not going to cover all that if I have my large rear bag on the rack though). I've been using it in the garage for some dust protection so not covering the valve covers is a bit of an issue when I want it to stay showroom clean but otherwise it's great for keeping sun & rain off the seat, tank & controls on trips, especially since it packs down pretty flat. Even if I just get a year or so out of this & it rips I'd most likely purchase another one, it's well worth the price & shipping was quick.

I just recently purchased this cover to replace one I had gotten before. I cut holes in it and used Flex Tape to help keep them from ripping. Little did I know how very sticky that stuff is around the edges of the tape. It got sticky stuff all over the luggage rack, and trunk. So for this cover, I had to actually purchase a kit of 1 7/8 inch plastic snap together grommets for curtains to be able to fit over the flag poles and flags while deployed. If someone else needs larger grommets, a popular search engine function should yield some results for plastic snap together grommets.The fit is pretty good. Not quite as big as I thought it would be. I like to be able to get the front edge to tuck under the front lower tabs on the front fairing, as well as around the edges of the leg fairing. This one probably won't stay on the leg fairing if it's windy. Not a big deal, the main purpose I wanted to get the cover for was to help keep the UV off the leather and dash while it's parked at work outside during the day. And to keep the seat dry if it happens to rain while it's sitting, too. Fits around and under the rear trunk fine, and has two elastic loops on each side that happen to be pretty well lined up with the foot pegs I have on the front highway bars. And the farther rear loops fit around the passenger floor boards. Should keep it good and secure and hold it down in the wind while it's sitting. Have to see how the front does in a windy situation. In these pictures, the windshield is adjusted to it's lowest setting.As for the two plastic grommets that come with the kit, they were unfortunately not large enough for my use. But they will easily fit over an antenna that's mounted on another model. I unscrewed my flag poles from their base, and lined up the cover completely installed on the bike. And made my reference marks. Then sized them up with some good calibrated eyeball measurements and cut out the centers. Slipped the smaller ring on one side, then the larger one on the other side and it just snapped together. Same procedure the instructions that come with the cover say for the smaller grommets if someone uses them if they have an antenna. The cover has an elastic cord base around the edge seam of the cover. It doesn't take long to install, and does not come in close contact with any exhaust pipes or heat shield, anyways on this model motorcycle.I will give the max rating for the features and initial selection, and edit anything if it becomes necessary in the future. But out of the box it feels good, no damage and quality seems nice.

SECOND UPDATE: I was going to buy this cover again since I consider it to be a "consumable" item, but then I thought about contacting Nelson-Rigg to see if the rip was covered by their warranty. Turns out it is, and they sent me a new replacement cover. I contacted them on August 24 and by August 29 I had received the replacement cover.Now that is customer service!--------------------------------------------UPDATE: As of today, August 24, 2024, five months and 22 days after purchasing this cover, it has finally ripped, as you can see in the attached photo. Considering how convenient this cover is, as well as the "low" cost, I'll probably buy it again.--------------------------------------------I could keep my Tiger inside, but during riding season (most of the year, even in SD!) I prefer to keep it outside and ready to go. However, the sun is very effective at undoing and destroying what humanity has made, such as the Mosko Moto Reckless 40 that I keep on the bike for carrying things around town like mail and small shopping bags, as well as day trips around the Black Hills and surrounding country.This UV-2000-03-LG half cover seems like it should be a near-perfect solution. I debated for a while as to which size to order, finally went with the large, and as you can see in the photos it's a perfect fit.I also have Mosko's Reckless 80 for extended trips, but I don't think this half cover would fit over that, at least when the 80 is loaded. Unloaded with just the empty harness, it might.I can't say anything about the durability of this cover yet, but considering that it didn't cost too much, I'm thinking of it as a consumable product that will give up its life to protect more valuable things, such as the Tiger and the Mosko Moto gear.

I have a 2024 Yamaha XMAX 300 and this cover is more than sufficient to cover my scooter. When it wears out I will be buying another.
