Sidecar Covers
« on: August 02, 2011, 10:10:08 PM »

So, I just purchased a military rig!  Here it is:



Anyway,
For now, the rig has to be stored outside and I need a rainproof cover. I live in New Orleans and it rains alot.

I want something that will cover both the bike and the sidecar, but I can't seem to find anything.  Does anyone have one / use one / have any ideas as to where to find one?

Thanks!

Welcome aboard sonhouse and congrats on your Bullet !

 An awning or shelter with lots of ventilation will go a long ways towards fighting condensation and won't abrade your paint like a cover will.

Shelters of the type below are popular up here in the wet and rainy pacific northwest.

Nice choice on the Military too  ;)

I've seen the shelters and they would be great.  However, I'm gonna have to park it on the street.  So the shelters really aren't feasible...

It's not that big of a deal.  The street is like, 12ft. from my front door, but my neighbors (and traffic) wouldn't appreciate me taking up the street.

You ought to be able to find a large plastic tarp at a sporting goods store.

Something like this 8 foot X 10 foot  shown in this link might work.

Search for Ural dealers- they usually stock covers that will fit over an entire rig. Check Holopaw Corvette under accessories. If you call ask for Gene.

I've got a one piece cover that came with my Ural. Sorta like a giant drawstring duffle that covers the bike and chair. I've never used it and have no need for it. It's made of  a soft light weight red ripstop nylon. The bike came rom NV so I don't know how waterproof it is but it could be run through a wash cycle with nik-wax etc. Price is right...free, you pay the shipping. If interested PM me.
