Can someone tell me where I can purchase a cover for my Valk? I want to cover the whole bike... including all hard bags..... I do keep it in the garage all the time but I don't want the Fat Lady to get dirty you know.  ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

I've got three for my bikes at Wally World ...Around $25.00 each ....My bike's stay in a garage and I don't think the Wally World would hold up very long out in the weather....To keep dust off in the garage they work great.

I have an almost new one that you can have for free.....it covers the whole bike as long as you let the antenna(s) down.......I got it to take on trips with me, but it takes up too much room.....I don't cover it up while it's in it's little shelter..... cooldude .....I think the cover is a Dowco?....with vents in it....

I had it formed up and even had the re-bar in it and I think the guy charged me $500 for a 10'x10' with the ramp.....I thought that was a little high, but they had to get the concrete through the fenced in yard without getting a truck close to it....they also put a plastic vapor barrier in it before they poured it....keeps the moisture from coming through the floor.... cooldude

I wish Abby would have bought me the 10'x15' shelter....it'd give you room in front and back of the bike....I might even extend the back of the pad for this one when the cover finally gives out....and I'd probably make the ramp a couple of feet wider if I could do it again.... cooldude

The shelter kits can be had for ~$200.....I had originally planned to frame up the slab when the cover is shot, but I like it the way it is...since it's not insulated, I don't have problems with dew forming on the bike....I installed a sleeve in the front corner in  case I want to run power or air to it one day...

Since you're keeping it in the garage, just use an old sheet. It's only dust you're keeping off the bike.

If you want one that will work for other than just in the garage, I highly recommend the E-Z Touring covers.

I have the Wanderer X.  My Valk is a standard, but it has hard bags, a trunk and a Woodys fairing.  It works great and packs really small.

I have a Goldwing cover for my I/S, it fits just like its suppose to, it has heat shields for the exhaust and cotton liner for the windshield. About $49 from the local dealer. Has Kuryakyn on the front.
