What Size Dowco Ultralite Plus Cover for GIVI'd FZ6

[jpainter187]

I know there are other threads about motorcycle covers, but my question is rather specific and I was unable to find any answers when searching.

I want to get a Dowco Ultralite Plus motorcycle cover for my FZ6, which has a GIVI V46 top case, but I'm not sure what size to get. I know it'll have to be either a large or x-large... But before I order one I wanted to see if anyone else has used this cover and how well it fits your bike (w/ or w/out luggage)?

Thanks!

Not the Dowco, but this post has some info about the cover I'm using with my Givi E450 topcase which is very similar in size to the V46.

I have the E52 tail trunk and have no garage. I bought the Nelson Rigg largest model. Definitely don't buy large! Even XXL maybe on the smaller side. I also have a PUIG racing screen so between the two even my XXL size Nelson Rigg doesn't quite cover all the way to the ground.

Thanks for the input. I'll most likely be ordering a Puig racing screen w/ the cover from kneedraggers.com.

Got my cover in today. I ordered the XL Dowco Ultralite Plus and now wish I would have gotten the Large. The XL is WAY too big! When completely covering the bike both the front and back of the cover could drag the ground if they didn't have some elastic around the base. And it's so baggy in the middle (between the windscreen and GIVI V46) that if it were to rain a slow draining pool would accumulate over my bike! Think I may see what kneedraggers exchange policy is...

Sorry if I misled you. I have my bike on my centerstand and wanted to have the cover come all the way to the ground both in the front and in the back since it snows here in Boston and I don't have a garage. the XXL from Nelson Rigg does not reach the ground. I wish it was a tad bigger. The DOWCO maybe a bigger cover - I don't know. I am sure kneedragers will let you exchange - you may be stuck with the shipping cost. Good luck!
