Anybody got suggestions for a simple, lightweight dust cover to go over dirt bikes for a reasonable price?

Indoor storage ?  Old sheet off the bed.

But if you need to make sure it's baby there under the sheet, and she hasn't stuffed her bed with spare fenders and handlebars to make it seem like she's still sleeping (while off cavorting with the Harley Next Door), you could use wire-ties to secure ziploc baggies of sand into the corners of those very lightweight painter's drops....Hey, check it out - I've gone "average member" all of a sudden. That's a bit disheartening....

Keith,

I use old sheets as well and to keep them from blowing off the bikes when the doors are open I use clothespins to clip them tight to the bike here and there.  Looks funny, but it works.

Thanks,

Kevin

Try your neighborhood Harley Davidson dealer.  HD sends every bike out with a simple white cover with elastic around bottom.  Made to keep bikes clean in the trucks.  We throw them away and I am sure other dealers do also.

I put a Harley cover on my Penton and right away it got slower, louder and developed oil leaks.  Fortunately 2 days after I quit using the cover the Penton return to normal.

Never again!

Great tip on the Harley dealer.  Mine here is saving covers for me this week.

Thanks
