Can anyone recommend a good fitting S10 cover for indoor winter storage?

[Hfjeff]

My time with this new bike is short lived this year as temps are dropping to lows near freezing this week. I may be able to sneak in a ride a day here or there, but for the most part I am getting my storage routine rolling. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good quality good fitting cover for the S10? It will be in an unheated garage all winter so not sitting out in the elements. Sorry if this has been covered, but I did a search and did not find much.

Do you have saddle bags or a top box? Tall or short wind screen...

Since you are storing the Tenere indoors almost any cover will work. No reason to spend the big bucks. I have an XL for my 2015 and that allows luggage and a tall windshield.

Make sure you add whatever to prevent rodents from living under the cover and on the Tenere.

Use a thick pad (folded blanket or something like this) to cover the fuel tank. Just in case something is dropped on the fuel tank.

No side bags, removable top case that will sit in the basement until spring. Still have the stock windshield for now. On the FJR I always put rubber stoppers in the exhaust to prevent rodents from finding a new home. The first spring I could not figure out why it would not start.. ::025::

Heck, just an old bed sheet would be good enough then. That's all I use for the bikes in the winter, although they are in the basement!

It's mainly so every time I go in the basement I don't have to see them and think; Damn, I want to go riding!

Honostly the best advice I can give to you is, dont spend big bucks on the cover! Just head to walmart and pick up an XL size bike cover and I promise you will be satisfied... It will fit and you will be glad you didn't spend extra on a fancy cover.

There you go. Revzilla has a nice selection, some into the Walmart price range. A floor length dust cover is nice to have, but a water proof half cover is nice for travel and can be used indoors.

I just ordered this one a few days ago: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/oxford-dormex-indoor-cover

I ordered the large size. Per the Revzilla video they say only order the XL if you have an absolutely huge motorcycle.....This is TBDBITW but I am hoping I don't need the XL....

I have the 22" Madstad Screen, Givi 37L side cases and the Givi smaller size topbox.

Should be here today. I will let you know how well it works once I get it.

This is what I would do. I've seen them for $19.99 at Wally world and occasionally with a coupon or sale at Cycle Gear. Get an XL if you have a top box or an L if you don't. Used outside these cheap covers with fade and start tearing in short time. For me I get about a year to a year and half out of them, exposed 10+ hours a day 3-4 days a week while I'm parked at work. The bike lives in the garage at home. I like them for touring as they take less space to pack. The downside is they don't keep the bike dry if it rains or even in heavy dew.

I've recently upgraded to a Nelson Rigg XL with a life time warranty, it's pretty waterproof but a lot bulkier to pack and would be total over kill for indoor storage.

So, with the side and top cases and the bigger windshield, evidently I need the XL. the L would probably work, but I want it to extend as far down the bike as possible to help keep the dust off. I am going to return it for the XL.

Overall though, I like the Oxford Dormex cover. Good quality and pretty low cost. Keep in mind this is just an indoor dust cover.
