Selecting the Right Size Cover for Touring Bikes with Top Boxes

0 109 0

Touring motorcycles are built for long-distance comfort, often equipped with large windshields and panniers. While these features make for a great trip, they make finding a custom fit motorcycle cover a challenge. Using a standard cover on a fully-loaded bike leads to exposed tires and strained seams.

The Touring Bike Challenge

Touring bikes like the Gold Wing or BMW R 1250 RT have significantly different silhouettes. If you have an aftermarket top box, you must account for this when selecting your Motorcycle Cover.

How to Measure for Touring Accessories

  • Measure with the Top Box On: Do not rely on stock dimensions if you have added luggage.
  • Width at the Panniers: Touring bikes are widest at the rear. Ensure your Powersports Shield has enough girth to cover the side cases.
  • Windshield Height: Measure from the ground to the top of the windshield for a complete reach.
