Best-fitting cover for Buddy 50 + Windshield + TopCase?

Post by ScourTheEarth »

I'm hoping we can settle the debate for an official recommendation on the best outdoor weatherproof, waterproof cover for our Buddys.

No manufacturer or online retailer has a "will it fit?" tool for the Buddy family (not sure why), and there are SO many options out there causing some confusion for a newbie such as myself.

The Prima silver cover that everyone has SCREAMS bright silver, and I prefer dark/black for theft prevention (out of sight out of mind) and the Prima isn't very heat resistant; every one of them I've seen having muffler burns.

My local Buddy dealership sells the Vega Heavy Duty Motorcycle Cover in size Large as their recommendation for the Buddy and it doesn't have a cinch-rope along the bottom of the bike and seemed just bit large for my bike when they generously let me try it on, so I'm not a huge fan.

What cover do you have? Can you post a pic? Do you love it?
And how far down does it compress? Where do you store it when you ride?

Thank you,
