Hi everyone, wondering if anyone has experience with the "Scrambler Motorcycle Canvas" or any other covers for the ICON? I plan to house my bike in the garage for the most part, but while on the occasional overnight or several day trip, it would be nice to have a cover. Any suggestions are greatly welcome!

A bike cover is the last thing I would hall around. What are you going to leave at home? Your rain gear?

Haha! Good point. Its more like in case I don't have room in the garage at some point, especially in the winter. I'm leaning towards a cheap Nelson Rigg as I don't predict I'll use it often, but wanted to see what others might have experience with and sizing.

I got an xl size cover from aliexpress for 10$ shipping included the xl size lets me wrap the whole bike in bad weather, I use a bungee band with hooks to keep it tight and snugly

I ordered a Dowco Weatherall Guardian Plus cover from Revzilla. It sounds like a medium would be a better fit, but there was only large size available. It cost me $80, shipping was free. We'll see how it stands up to the New Mexican sun, wind, rain, dust and snow. Seems to me like an investment worth making... I love my Scrambler!

On the other hand, if you're bringing a cover along with you on travels (which I also don't really see the point of -- its a motorcycle, not a baby! I think it can handle a few nights outside in the cold!) there were a few options that seemed lightweight, like they'd do the job, and would be very easily packable. Those options cost about $16 on Amazon.com. The packability comes at the cost of durability for long term, in that case.

I was also thinking of ordering this cover from Revzilla. How does the large size fit?

Dowco also have a security system that allows you to booby trap your bike with the cover which may be a plus.

The only reason that I would not want the Scrambler Motorcycle Canvas is that being in NYC, I do not want people to know what's under that cover!!

Don't worry, with artificial intelligence and liquid metal like seen in the Terminator movie coming more and more into reality, we'll have bike covers that will scare away any potential thieves

Any idea what size Dowco cover would fit the Scramber?

Geza motorcycle covers are great...light weight, pack tiny.

Have one for my K12 that I have used for years when touring; it sort of fits my Scrambler too.
