    Best waterproof Scarabeo 250 cover

    What are you guys using for covers? My landlord is doing maintenence on the garage so I cant park it where I usually do. It'll be outside most the summer but in San Francisco it's always foggy and sprinkling. What has the best fitament and will keep my bike safe from all the rain? Also what do you guys do about the mirrors? Don't they get bent from the cover?

    Thanks!!!

    By the way, I've searched this forum and Google for a few days now and can't find anything.

    I'm using a Dowco for my 150. Stays put and keeps it nice and dry. Just let the pipe cool a bit before you throw the cover on. The cover I have will not fit a bike with a big screen, so check. We use a Prima on my wife's Vespa, and those do have a pocket that unfolds to accomodate a screen but you'd have to check and see if they make one for the Aprilia -- maybe not
    Good luck. Check eBay too -- there's a place called "takecover!" on there that sells only covers, and their top-of-the-line waterproof ones are under $50...

    Mirrors get bent from covers only when ya think ya can remove like houdini or such you lift a cover off a bike not pull it like the table cloth trick or you will damage shiet Quick not a car rags dont slide off Turtles dinnt wax it etc

    The walmart cover we get here (I've got one) for about $35 is not waterproof. Rain goes right through. It keeps the bird crap and sun off but is that's it.

    it's not 100% waterproof, but it keeps seat dry and keeps you warm and dry. Tucano Urbano is made out of Italy but I've had luck finding the beo 250 model online: http://www.tucanourbano.it/Catalogo/..._coprimanopole
