Hi all.
Could you please give me some info on what cover I can put on my nc30.
It is stored in my garage on carpet but still gets dusty, it does not rain in but the roof of the garage is corigated metal sheet which with this frost a bit of water drips on the bike not much just little anoying drips & the bike gets a bit dusty when not in use.
I had one from argos a few years ago but the bike I had at the time sweated under the cover, so i'm looking for one that the bike does not sweat under the cover.
Thanks.
Rob.

before i got it on the road my CBR lived under a builders dust sheet :) I managed to get a brand new unopened one from a place I used to work for

My bike is covered with a blanket. The type of garage you have will affect how much dust you get. Mine is brick built and integral to house with a concrete floor, floor is sealed so no dust.
If you have a metal shed, they'll be loads of condensation.The roof will always be soaking and drips onto your pride and joy will be in evitable.

I would go for an Oxford rainex cover. Bit pricey 45quid ish! But really good and has a soft liner so it won't scratch your bike!

That'll rot the bike out i'm afraid! Looks like you can only put 2 blankets over the bike and regularly change them as they'll get damp- also look into some kingspan for the metal roof!

i use a car seat cover that covers the nose cone, tank and first seat, not fused about the back end,
the covers water proof and the rain and condensation runns of it, it was for my car when i used it for work,

There's a guy on ebay that sells the fitted type, I've had a couple off him, £30 I think they are, they fit pretty well and the drips (from a little leak in our roof

) just run off.

I had mine under a rainex cover for a year and it was brilliant!!
