    Hi....sorry if this has been done to death already....searched forum and couldn't see a thread.....just bought a 2018 Tiger 1200 and am after advice on a good rain cover, unfortunately I don't have a garage. so need something that is durable. Has anybody found one that fits with all luggage attached and is hard-wearing?

    Quality counts and costs get the best you can afford and also as you have luggage an extra large size and also Breathable all good bike outlets have a variety contact them for info on the product if you are not sure company's like Oxford and the like have been going for some time but there are others just as good.

    Santa bought me an Oxford stormex cover for my 800 tiger. It was a large which doesn’t quite do the job with the panniers on plus I have a larger screen so that mucks it up length wise a bit. I had a Rainex before which I got second hand and lasted a good 3 years of all year round use, it was a large but seemed baggier, so maybe it stretched somewhat. If you’re looking at Oxford for an explorer definitely go for an xl and if it’s used all year no less than the stormex

    Could you post back here if you find something that works? I've got the Oxford Rainex (XL) and it's a bit like wrestling an unwilling toddler into a snow-suit...
    I've only got a top-box permanently on, but the cover is still at half mast in the back (and flappy from excess fabric in the front). It keeps the local cats dry through the odd shower but it would be nice to have something to keep the crap off the back wheel/shaft/suspension.

    Couldn't afford to hang about so bought the one recommended to me from Sportsbike....quality seems really good but doesn't really fit well even without any luggage attached, front caliper and rear hub visible are visible.....was a reasonable price so will do for now until I find something better

    You and me both, mate. First one to find something better reports back, then?
