Ingah Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Have just gone and bought a £7 Lidl motorcycle cover so i can leave the bike outside every once and a while.It's got two little "rings" (for want of a better word) which are clearly to help you secure it. Question: How/what should i use to secure the cover when it's over the bike?It's also got a transparent "sight window" (again for want of a better word) so you can see through part of it.Question: Why?Yet another question: Which way should i be putting the cover on - sight window at the rear of the bike or at the front?

Korben Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I guess a padlock would be secure, although it would only secure the cover...Window... I am thinking if you leave it parked on the road you could position the window so the reflector is visible to traffic... Total guess though.

Guest Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Did you read what was on the insert? It clearly says that the window is for the rear number plate so it can be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough you should say that - because i just found and read that a short while ago (after the original post of course)My bad Not sure why showing off the plate is a good thing? (unless in my case because an N-reg isn't going to seem very desirable ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsisterbiker Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 i secure the two rings with a short bungee to stop it flying off in the wind, otherwise i don't bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susieque Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I use a bungee from 1 footpeg, over the seat next to the tank, to the other footpeg to hold cover onto the bike.Then I use a series of clothes pegs to clip it to the mirrors and rack and to clip up the slack to stop it blowing!

Bill_on_a_bike Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Mines got a ring and a clip, and it does make a differnce clipping it together under the bike, the wind will find a way to pull the cover off, no matter how awkward it is for you to do yourself.
