Purchased for 2020 Zero SRS with top and side cases
At first I intended to buy a Dowco cover for this bike, but they don't have a number on their website to call for fitment questions, and did not reply to my email. Ok! I'll go to a competitor. See ya. Good luck with that.I called Nelson Rigg and immediately, first try, a woman answered who knew what size I needed without having to shunt me off to someone else or put me on hold. She said I needed the adventure size. She was right.For a 2020 Zero SRS with the dealer installed luggage its a perfect fit. Not too loose, not too tight so its hard to put on, or pulls the mirrors out of adjustment. The perfect size. Way too early to comment on longevity but with a lifetime warranty I'm not worried.The thing that I really like about it vs the Dowco Guardian I have for my other bike is this one is a little thinner, lighter, and less stiff so its easier to put on. It comes with one of those packs you can stuff it into for transport but I never bother with it, just ball it up and throw it in one of the side cases. There is a strap and buckle at the bottom to strap it around the bike when its on , a nice feature.

Really good cover but for the $$$ I’d look around.
I asked around before I bought this cover but the XXL is too large for a 2017 Kawasaki Concurs 1400 GTR. I think the XL should be fine. The XX falls to the ground all around the bike and is loose all around. I like my covers to be a bit big but if you store your bike outside in the elements it my blow off. I would strongly recommend using the sturdy grommets provided. Since my bike is stored in a covered area I have not had the chance to test the weather ability but the cover is well made and looks nice. The padded area for the windshield leaves a little to be desired. It has a soft spot but is small compared to the size of the cover. I had to drag the unpadded part over the plastic before I could get the soft pad on the wind shield. The tapered stitched seams are on the lower quality end and will prob come apart in a year or so. The cheaper Weather seams usually hang up on the bike while simply taking the cover on and off so they usually are the first part to go. Would I recommend this cover? For the money look around....but I have owned other Nelson Rigg products and they were great. As far my new cover I’d prob go with Moto Centric again or another brand next time. Actually go with the one priced lower with the silver running along the bottom. Sorry do not know the model number but you can find it. ( 400 something ) I dont have time to exchange it as I’m leaving town and need a cover so I’ll roll with it for now. Personally did t find the quality overall worth the near 90$ price tag.

I Love This Cover
I’ve had this cover for 4 years now. I’ve used it with 3 different bikes, a Kawasaki Z650, a Honda CBR600RR, and a Yamaha MT09. It has been a perfect fit for all of them. It’s in the direct sunlight and open to weather at least 6 months out of each year and it has held up perfectly. It’s great for heat. Admittedly none of my exhausts have gotten really hot like a Harley might, but I ride hard, come home and park, and put the cover on immediately, with it touching my exhaust directly in some spots, and it hasn’t melted, caught on fire, smoldered, or anything bad. It’s just a great cover for your average full size bike. If you know what bikes I’m referring to when I listed mine, if yours are much bigger, you may want to consider getting a size larger than the XL, which is what I have. The XL does have some room to spare, but on my MT09 it was sitting a little higher than I would have liked. On my CBR600, it covers everything, due to how low it sits.Haven’t had any trouble with wind, and I don’t use the strap. It’s never once blown off.

Fits a BMW F750GS
Cover fits a BMW F750GS well, with the only caveat that my Givi 52 liter Trekker Monokey case has to be removed in order for the back of the cover to fully cover the rear swing arm. With the case mounted on the motorcycle the cover kind of pops up a little bit in the rear. That's fine for me because I'm just using it as a glorified indoor dust cover, but something you might want to consider if storing outside.The cover itself seems to have good stitching and the material itself has a good thickness to it. There's a strap on the bottom of the cover to tighten it down and has a softer cloth material for where the cover sits on the windshield. Also, there's some grommeted holes in the front to tie down the cover to the front wheel or pass through a wheel lock.Don't know how it performs in the rain, but I suspect it'll be fine.

Very nice
Picked one of these up in the warehouse for next to nothing so I could cover my 49cc Yamaha Zuma. So far, about 4 months, it has held up to any weather we have had in Missouri and protected my little motorbike without any other cover. It has seen some extremely thunder storms and kept it dry, as well as summer temperatures as high 107 degrees down to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, so far no fading and no damage to this cover even with high winds during storms, stayed on with the underside clip and my chain lock through the front wheel, I haven't noticed any water getting in through the vents or moisture under the cover before or after storms and temperature fluctuations. This is definitely a well made product and shows why Nelson Rigg has been making motorbike accessories for as long as they have, I believe this cover will last for awhile and protect my little bike from the elements.

Nelson Rigg used to be top quality
I bought 2 Defenders 15 to 20 years back. Heavy construction and made of canvas. I retired them about 3 years ago. They kept bikes dry.I bought 2 more Defenders about 3 years back. Not so heavy and not the best with keeping bikes dry. They have stood up well so far.I bought this Defender Extreme thinking it a big step up in quality. It's a lot thinner than the last ones. Water proof is ok so far. I'm hoping its high tech material but it feels like a cheap Chinese cover. I'll update if it rips or starts letting water in.I bought the adventure size because many of the sizes do not go to ground level. Fits big but the elastic cuff keeps it on just fine in the wind. Easy to get on and off.

Excelente calidad
Adquirí esta funda (tamaño Adventure) para uso en una BMW F 850GS y le quedo PERFECTA! El material es bueno y cuanta con una zona suave interior a la altura del faro delantero y parabrisas. Resiste lluvia muy bien y sin maletas cubre ambos rines por completo. Es la segunda funda que compro de esta marca y definitivamente volveré a comprar otra.

NO ES A PRUEBA DE AGUA!!! IS NOT WATERPROOF
EL material y todo se ve muy bien, ajusta bien a una Multistrada 950, pero no es a prueba de agua como se promociona, permite el paso de agua y la moto se moja, esto era muy importante para mi, estoy decepcionado!!

Fits adventure bike with side cases and top box
Fit my 2018 Suzuki V Strom 650 with aluminum side cases and top box very well. Pack into a very compact carry bag(included). Great deal on a great product.
