Aloha guys. As the title say, I'm looking for motorcycle cover to cover two project bikes I have.
I bought both cover about the same time, and both covers are in need of replacement after three season outside and it's showing it's age. I have rips here and there. Still won't get the bike completely wet, but I want to avoid that.
Reason why I'm asking this is because I bought a motorcycle cover that I've used in the past to cover my other stuff (two bicycle and a Chevy engine on the stand) and the cover is not what it used to be. It's lot more thinner and it's already showing, well, not yet, but looks like rip is coming soon. At this moment, I don't want to spend too much on the cover as I'm still working on the bikes. Both don't have mirrors installed so after the work, size will grow. So at this point, I'm looking for just that. something to cover both bikes. I'm willing to spend, at most, $100 each for the cover. I'm hoping I can get it lot less but I am willing to pay for quality.
I went on Amazon but they all look pretty thin. I'm more worried that wind will rip it a part so I'm looking for fairly thick cover. Weight is secondary. Lighter is better, but I'm not going to take them off everyday. Because of where I live, I don't have to take snow in account. Just rain and wind. Gets pretty windy once in a while. Sun is all year around, so it needs some UV protection as well.
Any recommendation?

I use a Nelson-Rigg cover on my FJR. It's quality.
