In case anyone is wondering, I've been parking my bike under the same Weatherall that I bought in 2013, in Alberta, from March to October, for what is my 8th riding season with it this year in 2020. The thing is insanely good. Almost zero UV fade after all this time, no water leakage. A majorly good investment.
@@insanedb mine collected moisture (when parked outside on concrete) and formed mold all over the soft fuzzy underside of the cover within the first year
Omg, this is so helpful. To the point, no bullshit. Amazing. Thank you. I think one of the main reasons I shop at Fortnine is literally their youtube videos - gotta support a business that does such good review work!!!
Thanks for the info Ryan but I already bought a good motorcycle cover for all seasons. Now what's missing is an actual motorcycle for my brand new motorcycle cover.
@3:54 thats not a “port” for a disc lock, those holes allows you to run a lock over the cover and through the front wheel. This not only secures your cover from flying off and keeps thieves from lifting the cover off by just unbuckling the straps, it also allows you to anchor your bike to something while keeping the cover on 🔥
One of the best covers for home or outdoor use is a VEVOR storage tent/cover. An ideal cover, in my opinion would have a bit of insulation and maybe a solar fan option to keep the air moving inside
for anyone trying to save some cash: that "compression bag" can be bought at any army/marine surplus store. we use them for our sleeping bags. trust me, it works. a winter sleeping bag is, for lack of a better term, extremely fucking fluffy. those sleeping bag sacks hold them down very compactly. if you live near a base or find one online, buy it and use it with any tarp you buy. itll make life a lot easier.
One problem of motorcycle covers is... they sometimes melt when exhausts are hot, and usually you cannot wait until they get cold, so... maybe you should do melting tests as well? Like crush tests?
I use and love the Oxford Aquatex cover. I bought mine for £30 it's available in loads of sizes, it gives a sizing chart on the bag, it's mostly waterproof, has an elastic base, and a strap to hold it down. My medium one fits in my Fazer 600 (FZS) and my GSXF 600 (Katana) plus they last well. I know of people who use them in all weather's to protect a bike, and get 5 years of use from them, before they have any problems. I would consider the Oxford stormed cover too, but that's about £55 to buy.
Saving up to buy a bike and my main concern has been whether I could get a decent enough cover for it as i dont have a garage so would need some serious weather protection. This video was exactly what I been looking for, thanks :)
I've owned three of the Nelson-Rigg Deluxe covers, they're fabulous. Large works for both my Yamaha Seca II /XJ600S and my wife's Suzuki Savage. Medium was perfect for her old Honda PCX-150 scooter. I think most sport bikes and standards would be good with a large, medium maybe for small ones. Big cruisers and sport touring, XL. Great cover!
Been keeping my Dl650 under an R&G Adventure all seasons, for one year 🤣, in a valley so the wind has ripped the seam cover off but it's still water tight, Nice. wet knee's releasing buckles suks, but windy city approved 👌😂
Jdc cover off ebay is one of the best for all year round out door use ive had one for over 3 years only got rid because my cat likes sitting on my bike an ripped it
I have one for my k1600 it lasted 4 months in fl sun before it ripped. My last cover lasted 8 yrs. UV treatment of some kind would be a plus for this cover.
Don't forget to buy bungee cord or one of those clips that some women buy with a dress to tighten the look of the waist from behind. Not sure what they are called at the moment but they work great
hey bro love your vids!!! thanx for doing them!! just one thing about that hole in bottom of cover u mentioned is actually for if u wanna chain your bike up from front wheel!!!!
hey bud. what would you recommend for people who dont have a garage? i have a carport, but wanted something heavier duty for the long term preservation of my bike, looking into the cycle shell and bike barn. thoughts?( besides telling me to build a garage lol)
Hello my friend I already bought my BMW F750 and I am locking for a good / cheap / light and sun resistant .. I want to use at home under garage just to cover from the dust,,, and well I use the bike everyday for job and need leave all day on the parking zone , then it receive the sun directly ... I don't care if rain and there is little filtration.. Which one do you recommend me ? thanks
I'd take the Dowco Guardian Weatherall Plus in that case. They have a few special sizes made for bikes with top boxes. You could do the Nelson-Rigg Deluxe too (because it *is* a better travelling cover). But make sure to order one size up, and expect that it will leave your rear tire hanging in the breeze. ~RyanF9
Nobody's asking who the girl is!?!?! Also, the front access point is for a wheel lock to protect thieves from stealing or getting underneath the cover itself.
for the all season cover (first one), which one should I get if I use a top case for FZ-07, with such large hump on the back, should I go for adventure model or sports model be good enough?
The Nelson-Rigg Deluxe All Season comes in alpha sizing (M, L, XL, etc.). I would *guess* that a large will fit your bike best, with the top case on the back. Of course it's not going to reach the ground very well at the rear. ~RyanF9
Remember, better to have your bike in the rain than to cover it when it's wet! All the ventilation systems in the world aren't gonna prevent condensation --> rust. Also leave it to cool before you cover it. Best not to take risks.
The Dowcow Guardian Weatherall is not waterproof… at all. Less than 6 months in and I might as well have a cotton bedsheet over my bike. I’m getting rust and paint issues. Don’t buy it.
Garage cover..ebay 14.99 shipped Dowco ..well mine lost it elasticity at the bottom after 3 months, my old dowco cover zipper cover would not zipp properly after a while , warranty did not cover my cover ti becshipped out and inspected and determined if it was my fault or the manufacturing process.
Increase your tires PSI by 10PSI in the winter when storing your scooter. Then in the summer, air-down & voila !! NO FLAT-SPOTS !!! Same w/cars/trucks ! Just COMMON-SENSE PEOPLE !! USE YOUR GD BRAINS, IF YOU HAVE ANY !
I am Ordering a Nelson-Rigg Deluxe All Season Cove for my KLR 650 for an upcoming road trip, it is a rather large bike, especially with all the top bag and side luggage. I am wondering if an XL or a 2XL cover would work best?
Definitely the Dowco Guardian Weatherall Plus. As for size, I think it'd be either Medium or Large. Both would work, just slightly different fitment. The Large would be baggier, but it would also cover more of the wheels. fortnine.ca/en/dowco-guardian-weatherall-plus-cover ~RyanF9
Which one would you recommend for a Harley Road Glide Ultra? Harley makes a nice one but their logo is billboard sized and I'd rather not advertise what my bike is. Also, when you say "dollars" am I to assume Canadian?
Depends how much you want to spend and where you keep your bike. In the garage? Go with the Nelson-Rigg Deluxe All Season in 2XL. Ourdoors? I'd probably choose the Dowco EZ Zip in XL. As for dollars, yep, always Canadian. Hope that helps! ~RyanF9
Listen you idiots !!! If someone is going to steal your fucking motorcycle, I guarantee you there isn't a f'n cover on this earth that is going to deter them !! And, a thief knows exactly what's under a motorcycle cover !!! USE YOUR GODDAMN BRAINS !!!! THIS IS COMMON-SENSE !!!!
Bike covers are usually too thin and tear. As standard there should be two types indoor (thin) and outdoor (thick, heavy, totally weatherproof)... very hard to find with all the Chinese crappy thin ones out there. Outdoor should have loads of replaceable straps or better ways of securing in windy weather.. they could also have flaps at the bottom to allow wind to pass and or a way of securing around front wheel..not impressed with what is on offer
Dowco covers are garbage. After 2 years the lower part of mine has rotted out, and this is the second to do it, and they won't do crap for me. The heatshield material is too thick, and takes forever to dry out, so it rots out instead. If you live in a climate like me, Victoria BC, with rainy winters, but another cover or enjoy wasting your money. Treating the cover with a waterproofing spray does nothing. Check online reviews for covers as FortNine is giving you the best covers.....that they sell. Online reviews will be vastly different.
I can't count how many thieves iv seen that don't second thought looking under a cover... Me personally when I see a cover on a motorcycle I think that there's something valuable under there... In the past iv found good stuf under covers... This is why a cover really isn't the best in my opinion...
Hate to tell you this, Nelson Rigg covers are just shit. I know this from actual use. The covers don't do well in the sun. Shitty blue tarps do better.
You've got it backwards. People fidget with their hands; some of them make videos. The ones who make videos are, by definition, the only ones you see fidgeting with their hands on videos.
This gentleman, is the best motorcycle-enthusiast-information-guy, out there.
His onlyfans is amazing as well
I don't use a cover. I have a German Shepherd who runs around and eats all the raindrops out of the sky.

what about condensation?
I bought the top of the line weatherall cover less than a year ago and it is basically useless. Maybe they got worse?
@@zachall9539 I’m on my second one now. While I don’t find it useless, I think my original one was definitely higher quality.
@@insanedb mine collected moisture (when parked outside on concrete) and formed mold all over the soft fuzzy underside of the cover within the first year
@zachall9539 mine started ripping in the 2nd year. And I barely used my bike in the 2 years ive had this cover
For extra theft-proofing points, have an *actual* piece of crap under there...
My last bike was an actual piece of crap. Didn't stop a crack head from pushing it down the sidewalk while I was at work.
Thanks for all of the great product reviews. They have been more than helpful and have steered my buying decisions many times!
Omg, this is so helpful. To the point, no bullshit. Amazing. Thank you. I think one of the main reasons I shop at Fortnine is literally their youtube videos - gotta support a business that does such good review work!!!
These videos are so good, I literary just found out because your post that Fortnine is a shop.

You're doing a great job here. Surprised you don't have more views. Thanks for contributing like this
Thanks for the breakdowns. Researching information for my Goldwing and came across the DowCo Guardian cover. Your information really helped.
+Glenn Reed I'm glad it helped! Covers are tricky to shop for online, so we hoped that this video would take some of the guesswork out of it. ~RyanF9
Yeah because he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about !!!!!
I bought the Dowco Guardian Weatherall Plus Cover last year and it came with a compression bag and not the weird backpack thing.
You are very good at this.. great editing and info...well done.
One of the best covers for home or outdoor use is a VEVOR storage tent/cover.
An ideal cover, in my opinion would have a bit of insulation and maybe a solar fan option to keep the air moving inside
Thank you man, this was really helpful, I'm definitely going for one of the Dowco covers, offering just what I need. YOU'RE THE BEST!!
Thank you, I'll be riding all year rain and snow for college motorcycle will be my way of transportation so this is perfect
Really love this channel new rider and i can always trust Fortnine's advice

Could we please get an updated video on covers ? I love your content, thank you so much !
Yes, I needed exactly this but an 8yr video is too out of date
I enjoyed seeing your lovely assistant in this video
I’m watching this even though I know full well I’m gonna buy the cheapest cover I can find on Fb marketplace

Saving up to buy a bike and my main concern has been whether I could get a decent enough cover for it as i dont have a garage so would need some serious weather protection. This video was exactly what I been looking for, thanks :)
where are you planning on parking your bike?
I had it on a drive for 3 years, managed to get a shed built now to keep it in.
I got a tarp from work and some para cord and it’s been working great. I put a cotton blanket underneath to protect paint and walllah.
4:19, the Weatherall comes with the compression sack now.

Thanks for all the review ryan. I always get something everytime i watch your video.. Tnx sir..
the hole in the front is not for a disk lock, it's to put a chain through it so the cover doesn't get stolen.
Been keeping my Dl650 under an R&G Adventure all seasons, for one year 🤣, in a valley so the wind has ripped the seam cover off but it's still water tight, Nice. wet knee's releasing buckles suks, but windy city approved 👌😂
Putting bike cover on a dirty bike will scratch the crap out of it
Just a thought
Jdc cover off ebay is one of the best for all year round out door use ive had one for over 3 years only got rid because my cat likes sitting on my bike an ripped it
I have one for my k1600 it lasted 4 months in fl sun before it ripped. My last cover lasted 8 yrs. UV treatment of some kind would be a plus for this cover.
Trying to find a cover for mine did u find anything better
3:52 That port is used to put a chain lock through the wheel
His argument still stands.
@@andheriumNo
You know you're a bike addict when you have 3 different covers hehe
sitting with my motorcycle shoes and watching :)
Thanks.... so informative 👍
But can u use it while riding covering all your bags
At home, use a fitted sheet from a twin bed.
Don't forget to buy bungee cord or one of those clips that some women buy with a dress to tighten the look of the waist from behind. Not sure what they are called at the moment but they work great
Thanks for the info
hey bro love your vids!!! thanx for doing them!! just one thing about that hole in bottom of cover u mentioned is actually for if u wanna chain your bike up from front wheel!!!!
I don't think you mentioned it but covers also stop people from sitting on your bike.

how many bungee cords come with the Nelson rigg falcon defender 2000?
do you use stands to store your bike? or just roll it in and drop the kick stand
I put it up on the center stand during the winter. But it gets moved around so much that flat spots aren't really a worry. ~RyanF9

will these covers stop the gas smell coming into the garge?
Any idea how and from where to buy this in Europe ? (specifically Germany)
I want a cover that has accommodations for trailering tie downs like little zipper slats in the front left and right.
I just use my pvc poncho, waterproof with the hood propped by my left mirror as a vent
The best cover is an old, worn out cover with a giant HONDA written across it. Best. Anti-Theft. System.Ever.
