Bought for a R75/5
I bought the large size for my R75/5, by the chart it would be a medium. Always go with one size larger than the chart. I have a Slipstreamer Turbo windscreen and Wixom bags. The large does fit, but a little tight over the shield and a little baggy over the bags. I does cover down to the axels. I do understand that it's not a custom fit cover. The cover's fabric seems quite good, but as others have mentioned the full bungee design takes a little getting used to. The full bungee design does hold the cover on in a decent wind without the need for a strap under the bike.

I bought the extra large, not the large.

Great Outdoor Cover!
I bought this cover because I just bought a 07 Ninja 500R and unfortunately live in duplex without a garage. This thing is easy to put on, looks great, and the water just rolls off it! It fits very snug and I am not the least bit worried about wind ripping it up. The lifetime warranty was also a plus. So if your bike is going to be outside this is the perfect cover.

Didnt work for my Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Nomad
I just got the XL size in the mail today and went to try it out on my Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Nomad and it was way too short. I have a windshield and hard case saddle bags and it wouldn’t even fit past the passenger seat. It looks like a great cover and I will try another cover. I Just want to warn those that have a big bike like mine not to order the XL size.

Nelson-Rigg Falcon Defender 2000 Cover
Good durable quality, but a little tight on my bike. I have an 08 Yamaha FZ1 and the cover barely fits.

Good Quality. Good Fit.
The large cover fits a Yamaha FZ6 very well. It has room for a bit larger bike, but I'm completely satisfied and would recommend a large. The cover goes close to the ground and it is not too loose. There is room for mirrors that are a few inches wider, and a taller windshield if necessary. The sizing on the packaging is pretty helpful.

Nelson-Rigg-Falcon Defender 2000 Cover
First cover I have ever purchased. It is a great cover, well made, does what I purchased it to do. I own a Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster 1200 custom. Large is the size recommended for this motorcycle. I have a short windshield, a medium back rest, the cover works great.

Good value for the price
I have a Honda Sabre 1100 and the cover works good. I got the XL instead of the large called for by the website. I don't have a windshield but do have a sissy bar and the large would have been way too small. Bike stays dry even in heavy downpours. A little bit of condensation forms at the bottom of the bike only. The bottom of the rims and tires do get wet. I would recommend the cover for anyone who stores their bike outside.

Defender 2000
I have an Electra Glide Classic, so I purchased the XL. It fits very snug. After 1 Month of use I am very pleased with the cover. We have had some very strong and windy weather in the last few weeks and the Defender 2000 has been great. I only used the front bungee cord and never had a problem with the cover in 60 mph winds. I would definitely recommend this cover.

Great cover assembly. It is a bit awkward putting on, but covers the bike fine. I have a Vulcan 1600 Nomad. My bike is mostly garage kept, but will come in handy when my wife and I go on long trips and need to cover it.

Good Choice
First bike (Suzuki C50), first cover. The XL cover fits well. Future modifications include windshield, saddle bags and sissy bar. Will have to reevaluate the fit after installation.
The reviews on this website were instrumental in helping to make my decision regarding this purchase. I have had this cover for five weeks and so far so good. It appears to be well made and hopefully will stand up over the long haul. There appears to be no problem putting the cover over the bike while the engine and pipes are still hot. There are two well placed vents to allow heat and/or moisture to escape. I think the cover with the zipper might be easier to use. Also, a soft microfiber type under lining would be a nice addition to assist in protecting the bike's paint and chrome finish. I'm pleased with my purchase and the service I've received from the Motorcycle Superstore. My items arrived exactly on the day quoted. I'll be back!

This is a great cover! I have a 2007 Ninja 500r and it fits like a glove! Get this one if you need a cover.

Nelson Rigg Falcon Defender 2000 cover
I bought a large as recommended, but it is way too tight for my HD Sportster 1200C. I've previously used N.Rigg covers and they were very durable and waterproof and wanted to try the 2000...however this one is not worth the bother, ORDER UP A SIZE and avoid the hassle.

Great value!!!!!!!!!
Motorcycle Superstore was an easy purchase for what so far seems to be a great product. Great product value, very heavy duty material for an inexpensive price. We'll see if it stands up to our cold snowy winters, windy springs and hot summers.

Great cover!
This is a very durable bike cover; Sizes tend to run small so order the next size up! I’m very much enjoying this cover; it is the second one I have owned. The first was a basic cover, light weight, kinda like a dust cover but strong for all year round use. My current Cover is much thicker and more durable, well worth the money.

Defender 2000 xxl
This is a great investment. I have a 2007 HD street glide with a tour pack. As well as a 1984 Goldwing with out accessories. I bought the XL but returned it for the XXL which fits good. I have left it out on my Goldwing through several good rain/wind storms. The cover stays on even without hooking the bungee cords. And my bike is always bone dry when I take it off. It is heavy and bulky, but a must if you want a dry bike.

This cover is exactly what I needed for my bike. Nice quality and good weather protection.

Almost a good thing
This is a great looking and very well fitted cover for my 05' Suzuki SV650. But....I bought it to keep the dew off my bike because the thinner wind breaker/dust cover that I already had was too thin to do this...Unfortunately it doesn't stop the dew from getting under the cover. This in turn allows the dust to collect on the bike and cause problems.

Keeping It Clean
After a month of using the cover, I have found that it is great at doing its job. I haven't really found any downsides to the cover at all. One thing they don't tell you, but I suppose doesn't matter much, is that the grommets are made of plastic. It has rained several times and the bike has remained dry. The sun is constantly on it and the bike has been kept noticeably cooler thanks to the cover. It is a great cover and worth every penny so far.

Great cover Defender 2000
The cover is better than I have seen. The only problem is with the fit. The chart indicates I buy the XLarge. I have a Honda Shadow VT600 with windshield, saddlebags and sissy bar. The cover is too small to fit over the mirrors and doesn't go to the ground around the bike. I am going to order the XXL when I sell the XL to a friend with a smaller sport bike. Cover is completely water proof and keeps the bike dry by not trapping moisture underneath.
