Need Cover Recommendations
« on: November 25, 2014, 01:30:51 PM »
Had a house fire in my garage so my 300i is outside while renovations take place. There are a ton of covers on the market but I was hoping someone had some experience with any that fit the 300i pretty well that they would or would not recommend.

Thanks!

Sorry to hear of your loss p40whk.
Here's what I use:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XL-Motorcycle-Waterproof-Outdoor-Motorbike-Rain-Vented-Bike-Cover-Extra-Large-/141377051208?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item20eaba9a48

One note I would add is that the black part (top) of the cover is not very UV resistant. In about 6 months it started to fade and weaken. It's not a permanent solution, but for the price it's all right I think. The link is for the XL size which fits the 300i perfectly.

I used the OXFORD bike covers. They come in different models so you can pick the one that suits your budget and usage.

I a 4 in the morning Ebay guy. I got my 100% Nylon cover shipped from China for .99 cents. I found an auction that was expiring that had no bidders.

That was 6 years ago, and It's still as good as new.

The best cover I've ever had was purchased from Aldi when they had a motorcycle gear sale on. It was not expensive and has lasted about a year now under the sun with no signs of wear. I highly recommend it.

The Kymco DT 300i ABS is the best scooter you can get. I love it's carefree automatic ride. I would like to see kymco make a 600cc version but no heavier then the 300. I would buy it for sure

Especially, in the southwest covers get torn up by the sun!  A neighbor gave me a cover and it has been working good.  I do some HVLP air spraying and I started spraying the excess the cover starting with the stitched seams.  It helps prevent the sun from destroying it.
