I'm not sure the wife would appreciate tire tracks on the carpet either. Although had I not gotten married I'm sure the house I bought would have been a large shop/warehouse with part of it sectioned off as living quarters instead of a normal house like I have now. Then it probably would be riding videos and making engine noises...

- August 20, 2014, 13:06:11 PMWell, I ended up ordering a Nelson Rigg UV-2000 half cover in silver, size XL. I had to order brake pads anyways so I combined the two and got free shipping. It's made for full dress/touring bikes, so it should work with my windshield and rear trunk bag. That should keep stuff out of the elements and also hopefully keep the seat a little bit cooler. Should also double as a dust cover in the winter. I'll share how it is once I have it and can try it out.

I have one for my Drifter, and have ordered several over the years for friends (none in the last 4 years so don't know if they are still around) and everybody has been happy with them. They also store in a small Ditty bag so travel well; don't take up a lot of room. Just a thought....

- August 19, 2014, 09:20:55 AMSo I have a quick question about covers. I'm looking to get a half cover for my 800. I have a tall windshield, and also a trunk of sorts with the 2 up seat. It's roughly the same size as the stock 2 up with a luggage rack and bag on the luggage rack. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not opposed to a full cover, but a half cover would seem to make more sense since it will avoid the hot exhaust. I'm wanting something for when it's parked outside at work to keep the seat cool, and because it's nice to keep everything out of the sun.
Thanks
