Bike Cover for the \'Busa

[OB_Cisco San Jose]

Waltman,not knocking anyone but the bags I get from Roadrider are good bike bags for the price and I've been using these bags since 1989 on my old 89GSXR1100,88VLX honda shadow,two Harleys,98TL-R and my Hayabusa and they sit out in the rain or shine,keeps people from seeing what's under the bag.Save your money for the Hayabusa power upgrades.I've seen guys with their fancy bags screaming Harley Davidson; Suzuki; Fancy Bag.com and guess which bike the thieves will look at first!!!!! Just spray paint your LAST name on the bag and a note ROTECTED/INSURED BY GLOCK 40/pager alarm, that should make someone think twice.Good Luck

Can somebody recommend a cover for the Hayabusa?

Cisco, do you still have your TLR? If so drop me a email.

You could build Model T bodywork around it. It would certainly be under cover then.

If you're only looking for a cover while its in your shed or garage the best is a old cotton bedsheet. It will keep all the dust off and it breathes so nothing underneath will get condensation on it.

If you need a cover while its outside, see the above posts.

RobBase,

I use the standard bike bag that you buy at the local motorcycle shop like RoadRider San Jose,cost around $54-$64 price range,it's silver or gray in color with heat shield on the lower half of the bag with holes to run small cables or lock thru and a soft cloth material around the windscreen area to protect you screen.I think I got the model PC-100 or PC-150.I'll look at my bag to get the part number on it and post it on this site.The bag will fold up nice and I was able to tuck it under my 98TL1000R hump,I think you might have to clean out the plastic on the bottom of the Hayabusa hump to fit and if you have a seat you can fold the bag into a nice square and run one of those nylon 1"width,3'long belt under your seat and bring the belt above the seat to secure the bag or what ever else you carry.A good bungee cargo net would also keep the items from shifting around.Hope this helps.

Don't waste your time with cheap covers,
get a good one.

Beverly Hills Motoring Accessories has
3 levels of custom fit motorcycle covers.
They don't advertise motorcycles on their
website but the 3 levels of car covers are the same for motorcycles.

Anyway, you provide the dimensions and info on your bike. I have the cotton gaurd and it's great for wind, dust etc protection.
This one isn't good for rain but their ultra gaurd is.

Unfortunately it's pricey, 120bucks. But it's worth it.

Turbo 1300,the Hayabusa replaced the 98TL-R and my 89GSXR1100.Sold the TL-R to a Vietnamise guy by the name of Johnny from San Jose who owns a Tire outlet shop and the Gsxr1100 was sold to Dwayne of Soul Brothers of Palo Alto.The 88 Honda VLX was sold to my neighbor and was replaced by a 94 Harley Heritage for my wife.The old TL-R bike bag is now used on the Hayabusa.

Thanks for the info guys, much appreciated.

Waltman,the company that makes the bag is called DOWCO and the box has PROTECTOR on it and the model is PX-100 in Gray,hopes this help.Make sure you use front dic-lock and the thickest CorbraLink cable and use a metal pole or some strong metal object to lock it to.Some of my friends have dug a hole in their drive way where the bike will be parked and placed a 2" round steel bar and secured it in place with cement leaving about 6" clearance under the bar to run the corbra link or U-Rock loc to secure their bike.Some companys make sheds for motorcycles or you might be able to build a small tool shed to put your bike in.Good Luck

New place I'm moving to has no garage. So my 'Busa will be sitting outside. Nice house and couldn't pass it up (price is right). Thanks for the tips Cisco, too many thieves out there. I am thinking of rigging up a setup so when a thief pulls the cover, a nylon thread strategically connected to my 12 gaugue will blow his azz
