    What'saa good cover?

    Hi guys! I'm looking to buy a good cover for my bike and don't know which is a good brand. I have an 81 GS850 (see pic) with Vetter fairing and lowers. I have a short backrest and luggage rack but no saddlebags or trunk. I'm currently using a lightweight cover from Covermax, but it's made for a full dress touring bike with bags and trunk. This makes it really baggy and droopy in the back since I don't have these accessories.

    I need one that is a heavy, all weather cover that's big enough to cover the fairing and windshield, and won't be droopy drawers in the back. Any suggestions?

    Thanks and Merry Christmas!!

      Better solution: get some bags and a trunk to fill out your present cover.

        Will, I looked on their website and I think I'll go with the Falcon 648. Thanks for the tip!!

        Steve, I've been considering that idea. I'd like to get some vintage Vetter bags but I need to find some that fit my bike.

        Thanks guys!!
