Can anyone recommend brand, size of cover well suited for the Buddy?

A mailing I got from Scooterworks USA showed a cover that I think was supposed to be good for Buddy sized scooters.

I just don't know much about this... Good brand? Reasonable price? General recommendation on use of a cover.

Anything you can share will be appreciated.

I bought a Large motorcycle cover from Wal-mart for my buddy. I cant remember the name but its the only one they carry(its blue and gray). I have the small wind screen and it fits like a glove. I have also used it with my girlfriends buddy with out windscreen and it fits too, just alittle baggy. As for price it was only 20 some dollars so pretty cheap. It comes with burn cloth around the engine and a hook for the bottom to keep it secure and it folds into a bag to fit under the seat. Only problem is if it really rain my seat will get wet from where the cover lays on it, but for the price you cant beat it.

I have a Guardian cover by Dowco,Inc size M.
It fits perfect and has grommets for additional lock-up.
I've been extremely happy with it.
can be seen at www.dowco-inc.com

I agree with, um...schroncc...(say what??). I have the "large" for my Buddy and X-large for my wife's Helix from WalMart. Both fit and protect well. Only cost just over twenty bucks.

Got mine at the local scooter dealer here in town, $20.

My recommendation is get something you can take on and off quickly and secure easily, i.e. hooks/latches.

I have a Covermax (medium). It's a bit more expensive ($35ish) than what others have found but it fits extremely well and was the cheapest I could find at the time. All-weather, air vents, heat resistant panel, storage bag.

in a pinch you can do what i did...my boyfriend has taken to parking his motorcycle in his workshop, so he passed down his cover to me. sweet. before that, i was using the cover for our grill to cover betty!! our grill is one of the long ones with a shelf and a burner, so the cover was plenty long enough to cover her, but did not quite reach the ground. no problem keeping her dry and out of sight, but did have to wait for betty to cool down before covering her. a little trailer park, maybe, but it will do!

you can buy the same cover at auto parts stores for about $30...

MNBuddy: if you haven't found one yet, I just picked up a Wolf Powersports motorcycle cover ON SALE at Menards. It's a size L and they're on sale for $19.99 thru Sunday the 26th. Sorry for the short notice, but I just got it and it fits Susan's 125 perfectly. They're in the same section as the boat covers.
