    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the Bike Barn bike covers coming out of Canada.  They have been advertised in the Aussie mags now for a while.  They certainly don't give them away but look like a great idea for hot pipes.  I was particularly wondering what they would be like for dust.  The normal cloth HD covers which actually sit on your sled are giving me the shits for sucking the dust up underneath and was curious to know if these Bike Barn covers have the same problem

    Here is the link to their website but unfortunately I'm not good enough on this bloody magic microchip to be able to copy a picture in.

    I want one, but $495 vs let my pipes cool and use a normal one...I'll let em cool. I may make my own in the future though - going "ghetto" doesn't bother me at all :P

     I'm going over to the dealer next week to get a HD dust cover because I'm worried about condensation with the all-weather cover I'm using indoors. Does anyone know of a non-HD one available in Sydney? I haven't been able to find one that breathes anywhere else, but the HD one has the eagle logo on it so it's a dead giveaway about what's under it. I'd love one that says "Sachs Express" !

    I grabbed a fitted double bed sheet out of the cupboard as my cover and it works a treat, stops the dust and lets it breath. Only for indoors though.
    Look a bit strange parked on the street with a pink bedsheet over it.

    P.S Best to clear it with the trouble and strife first though.
    Mine wasnt real impressed.
