Motorcycle cover was created by martin_csr
What size motorcycle cover would fit a 1981 KZ650-CSR w luggage rack?
Without doing much searching, all I'm seeing is S-M-L-XL-XXL & what type of motorcycle they fit, but no actual measurements even at one of the mfg websites. Thanks.
ps: the 650-CSR size-wise is identical to a KZ750H Ltd as they have the same frame & some other stuff.

I searched for "motorcycle cover" on Amazon: a lot of the listings do mention length (86", 96.5", 104", 116", etc.).
Not sure what your 650's dimensions are with the rack, but this cover has a length of 96.5", a width of 41", and a height of 50".

I use this one from Amazon.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0183NQESM/ref...o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
I have two bikes with this cover. On my 89 ZX-7, it has more than enough to cover the whole bike. It's actually little bit too big for my taste, but working fine. It's little big, so I have a nylon rope holding it down on the middle as strong gust will flip the cover. On my 82 KZ/GPz, I don't have mirror install yet but the height is just enough. With the mirrors, I think it will be tad short from the ground. Length is more than enough, though. I can't say anything about width because I don't have mirrors yet.
In the first picture, the one in front is my KZ, and behind it is my ZX. I don't have the nylon rope around my ZX as I recently worked on my bike and will work on it again soon.
Last between three to five years in hot Hawaiian sun before it start falling apart (rip/tears).

Thanks for the replies. I only searched CycleGear & one of the brands there. was kinda lazy. and even forgot to measure the motorcycle. hee.
ps: I'm planning on getting one to protect the motorcycle from dog hair & dog drool in the garage, but may end up going w a good one so I can leave the motorcycle outside occasionally. It's currently protected by a cheap HF moving blanket & towels but it's getting old doing that & the coverage isn't the best. doh.

I ride to my Swap Meet every year I can. KZ650 with rear rack. The rear rack does not go beyond the rear fender so it does not add to the length.
I bought one from my local dealer :
gearscanada.com/products/premium-motorcy...riant=16332993036399
I believe mine is a Medium. It says its 95" long, the 650 is only about 88-90" long depending on the model.
I don't have any good pictures with it covered... You can see a portion of it here on the far right side :
Even with the fairing and the hard bags the original cover still fits good. It covers all the way down to the grass then I can tighten it down with the straps under the exhaust.
