Falcon Defender Cover
Good indoor cover, not suitable for outdoor use. Only minimally water resistant. If this cover is going to be used outside (which it probably shouldn't) the waterproofing will need some augmentation.

Great Cover
Size XL for a BMW R1200R with a large windshield works great and very easy on and off.

Gets Better with Age
I really like this cover. It feels well made and very durable. Additionally, it is getting easier to put on and take off because it it stretching and forming to my bike.

Well made and Waterproof
Waterproof was at the top of my list. Easy fit was second. This cover also feels like it's going to go the distance, and it's got a 5 year warranty to inspire that confidence. First go around I bought the XL for my BMW 1100GS w/ side cases and all, and it just didn't quite fit, too stretched. The 2XL did the trick though. The elastic at the bottom means that I get this on in no time, and beat the wind at it's game, I don't even use the bungee/grommets because the elastic is so snug. Time will tell though, here in New Mexico the sun is a beast and I'll have the moto out all the time. Will the waterproofing hold? I hope so.

It is a great product, waterproof, and the wind out here has not phased it. I wish I had ordered the xxl instead, it would have fit better. It is close but not quite.

Great Cover for my Suzuki SV650
Purchased this cover for my Suzuki SV650. Got the medium size and it's a tad snug but I supposed snug is better than too lose. Great looking cover that's not too heavy and cumbersome but not too thin either. I keep my bikes in a covered carport so this bike cover adds to the protection of my bike perfectly.

Nelson Riggs Cover
I bought this cover before leaving for a 6,000 mile trip on my Kawasaki Nomad. It fit and worked great. Having a cover allowed me to store things on the motorcycle for the night and since I was camping some nights this kept them out of the tent and still dry. Suggestion: I e-mailed the company and asked the exact size to order for my motorcycle, in my case an XXL. This meant the cover fit perfectly.

does the job
The 1st day I used my cover we had an intense florida afternoon thunder storm. I ride my yamaha to work every day. I pulled off the cover and it was dry as it could be. The medium is a little big for my zuma 125. The elastic in the bottom is strong, I have no worries about it blowing off. The best feature is that you are able to run your cable lock thru grommets at the front wheel, so the cover is locked down on my scooter. So far 100% satisfaction

Covera a bmw
Seems a tad on the small side for my R1130 but the cover seems well constructed. One thing is that it’s sometimes hard to tell which is the front, especially when its dark. Other than that it appears as advertised and time will tell.

Best Cover
This cover is very durable and waterproof. Tried other covers but this one is well worth the money.

Nelson-Rigg Cruiser Bike Cover
I have only put on my Yamaha V Star 1100 once to check the fit since I received it. It was somewhat hard for me by myself to get it on due to the elastic cord that is sewed into the bottom of the cover. The elastic cord was very tight. That said you would not need the additional elastic bungee cords that comes with it to hold the cover on until the other cord became looser. That would likely only come with lots of use. If I were riding with a group I would request the help of someone else to get it on before it started to rain. Plan on at least an estimated 10-12 minutes to put it on by yourself.

Nelson-Rigg Falcon Defender Cover
Excellent Cover. Large fits my '04 Katana 600 very well. Durable materials with tough finish. Really is water-proof. Large vents allow moisture to escape without allowing water to enter. Great value for price. Highly Recommend. Much nicer than other covers I've seen.

Nice cover
I have only had the cover for 3 weeks but it fits my SV650 perfectly and has built-in hooks and reinforced openings for them at the bottom which makes it snug on the bottom.
The bike has been in a week of rain and when I took it off today it still looked clean (well as clean as the bike was before the rain)
I can't rate the durability because its too new.

So far, so good.
I've only had the cover for a month, but it fits well and seems durable. We'll see how it holds up, but I am happy with it so far.

Fantastic Cover
This is a great cover. The workmanship on the cover is really good. It's a sturdy, durable cover for my bike and looks like it will last a lifetime. The only thing I knocked it for was the fit. The cover fit my bike fine, but just barely. I have a VFR 800 and the recommended cover was a large. The large fit well, but is a little tight getting it around the tail. If I had gotten the extra large, it would've been too big. This is to be expected with a universal cover.

Great Nelson-Rigg Falcon Defender bike cover
I ordered the Nelson-Rigg Falcon Defender cover for my husband's Hayabusa that he rides to work every day. He said it is easy to put on by himself and even in high winds has not blown off the bike. Also, it rained one day, and the bike stayed dry. Great cover!

Great Cover!
This cover keeps the rain off my bike handily, but more importantly - It keeps the Florida sun UV from toasting my paint & plastic! It fits my 2008 GSX650F like a glove. It covers the whole thing. I can't believe the hot pipe doesn't even phase the material! Nice included tie-downs & the windshield protector is a big plus! So far, so good.

Awesome Cover
Ordered this after doing a significant amount of research into just the right cover, and I found it! Great quality, truly waterproof and very durable. Don't cheap out and get anything less than this.

Not waterproof
Maybe I got the only defective one, but if this cover gets stuck in any kind of rainstorm then the cover leaks. It did not rain for the first few weeks I got it so I threw the box away... NO return I would imagine.

Confusing
Seems well made, and my exhaust pipes haven't damaged it. It could use some sort of arrow or other reference to tell us which end is the front. A lot of flopping it around until I figured it out.

Does what it's supposed to
Does what it's supposed to. Keeps my bike (relatively) dry in the rain. Only time water has seeped through is if there has been no chance for the water to evaporate. Fits on my '82 Honda CX500 rather well with the large size. I have an aftermarket Vetter Quicksilver fairing on the front, and it still covers the entire bike. No water gets in the vents on either side of the cover. All in all, this is a nice purchase that has kept me riding while I don't have a garage, it does what it's supposed to do and it does it well!

The Real Deal
This is a great cover, I am sure there might be better but they cost twice as much! I have to park my bike on my deck and it has gone through three bad storms so far including nickel sized hail, it has protected the bike perfectly. If you are looking for a cover and don't choose a defender than you might be a Moron!

For the Average Enthusiast
This cover works very well for what it was intended for. It blocks the sun and rain, and also some snow that my bike has seen recently. The cover fits great and I have had no problems with the plastic holes scratching anything. The elastic at the bottom keeps it nice and snug even in the horrendous winds we get around here.
Overall highly recommended if you just want to cover your bike when you're not using it every ten minutes. I have not tested this long term, but it seems to be rugged enough to handle some good years of wear.

Nelson-Rigg Flacon Defender 400/500/600 Cover
Cover is great, heavy duty. Bought the large and it just fits the bike - Honda 750 Spirit. I put the leatherlyke bags on and it's a very tight fit. If the bike had a sissy bar the cover would not fit. I have a Corbin seat and even the back rest for it will not allow the cover if on. Otherwise, it's a nice cover, maybe an XL would have been a better fit.

Best cover for the Money
As the title implies this cover IMO is the best quality and fit for the money. Last onezzzzzzz ( this is my 3rd one) lasted me 4 years outside and was still waterproof, only faded with sunlight.

Defender cover for my 1999 NightHawk
A very nice cover at a great value! The cover fits perfectly over my 1999 NightHawk and I was impressed with the built-in bungees, making the cover extra secure and the "pack" essentially fold up so you can take it with you when you travel. I would recommend this cover to anyone, a very good investment.

The cover looks great, fits like a glove, and the water just beads up on top of it... bike is perfectly dry beneath. Price was amazing. Extremely happy!

100% waterproof
I bought my cover a month ago and living in an apartment complex my bike is always exposed to the elements. This is a great product and Motorcycle Superstore's pricing & shipping were excellent, especially compared to JC Whitney (never again).I'm definitely a Motorcycle Superstore customer from now on.

Perfect for my '99 BMW R1100RT
This was my first experience with Motorcycle Superstore...I will keep them on my favorites list for future purchases. The Falcon Defender 500 fit perfectly on my '99 RT. No rain has penetrated, and the bottom loops hook onto the peg feelers for extra support. The cylinder heads have not burned the cover, and I have noticed no color fade on the bike or hard bags since I put this cover on. This was the best $75 I have spent so far on this bike.

My experience with Motorcycle Superstore couldn't have been better. They had exactly what I need (a gift for my boyfriend's birthday). The cover came exactly the day it was supposed to and has been put to good use ever since. I will definitely use Motorcycle Superstore in the future.

Great for my BMW R1150RT
The 600 is great, bought it a month ago and very well made, quality is there and the whole on the bottom hooks to my pin underneath the pegs. The front has a liner to protect the windshield. The fit is excellent, great product!
