        <![CDATA[ I&#39;m on the cusp of selling my Vulcan which had been serving commuting duty and will be relegated to riding the Ace T daily. The cover that I got with the
bike is a bit small but is otherwise a good cover (Nelson Rigg UV-2000 half cover).


My concern is the paint fading from the abusive Texas sun, especially on the horizontal surfaces such as the tank and saddlebag tops. I prefer the half-cover
and had even considered a bikini cover, but don&#39;t think it will provide the
coverage I... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ I use the Nelson Rigg UV2000 cover on my bike every day I ride to work, which is often and I work 12-hour shifts. It protects from the Florida heat and
frequent summer rains. Mine is a perfect fit. I believe I ordered the Extra Large. I&#39;ve had it over 4 years with no noticable wear. It isn&#39;t completely
waterproof but the protection is adequate. It keeps the downpours out of electrical switches and the heat off the seat. My  garage-kept &#39;98 Ace-T has no
fading or dry rot. It folds... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well, I ended up &quot;borrowing&quot; the cover that I got with the BMW.  It&#39;s made by <a title="Geza" target="_blank" href="http://www.gezagear.com/">Geza</a> , size Large but doesn&#39;t quite fit the big LT (fit guide says I need an XL)
<br>
<br>
It&#39;s a stretchy nylon material (much like Lycra, only much heavier) so it forms to the bike pretty well and doesn&#39;t flap much in the wind. In fact,
Geza advertises their covers are good to use on a trailered bike.

			<description><![CDATA[ A cover also helps keep the seat cool and shades all the plastic switchgear from the sun. Thank goodness I don&#39;t have a gel seat. I&#39;ve heard they
retain a lot of heat for a long time and the gel will break down after enough exposure.
<br>
<br>
Thanks for the responses. I&#39;ll report back after I&#39;ve made a decision and get a new cover. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I bought the Dowco Ultraguard cover for my 88 Honda VT800. I can&#39;t remember if I got the Medium or Large but it fits my Tourer just fine. Its a full cover
that I use for bad weather and weather storage. It cover everything.
<br>
<br>
As for Dowco I can&#39;t enough about them. I&#39;d buy anything that they sell. I deal with them at Americade and they are the greatest vendor. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I too have had concerns about the sun fading the paint here in the south, but dynodon speaks the truth about the cover abrading the paint when dirty and windy.
The only exception is a cover I used to see in an add in Cycle World magazine that was made out of soft spandex material. The whole thing stretched to fit
which prevented it from movement in the wind. I have not seen the add for some time now. A good polish with UV protection will go a long way towards protecting
the paint from fade... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ If you keep the paint clean and waxed, it really shouldn&#39;t fade from the sun. Only paint that isn&#39;t maintained and protected will have those problems.
MOre important is protecting the tires and upholstery from sun damage, as vinyl and rubber will deteriorate much faster than paint in the sun.
<br>
<br>
Use a good tire dressing on just the sides of the tires, and use a good vinly product like Lexol Vinylex on soft vinyl. A product from Wurth called Rubber Care
is good on other exposed... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Duke,
<br>
<br>
Where I used to work in Indiana there were a couple of guys that bought Bikini covers and liked them a lot because they kept the sun off their Harleys&#39;
paint, but were easy and fast to put on/take off.  I have not tried one with my T, but I do not think Bikini covers are wide enough to cover the saddlebags. ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Duke,
<br>
<br>
I have an Ultraguard half cover for a GL1800 that fits the tourer nicely; it was a good price at a rally ~$30 IIRC. I only use it on the two or three long
trips I take a year; so like 2-3 weeks of use a year. So I can&#39;t really comment on how long it will last but it does fit nicely, it is actually just a bit
tight across the mirrors. In the front I hook it to the bottom of my rifle lowers and it will cover all the way to the bottom of the saddlebags when I
don&#39;t have... ]]></description>
