Going to be doing a bunch of camping this winter. Would like something to cover the bike when parked outside. Anyone have a recommended brand? Pack down size is not an issue.

I got this on first on my fz09 and its been 3 years+ then about 2 months ago I got another two on my other bikes. So far its faded in a year or so but other wise works with tall screen, side cases and top case. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01L3QWQDI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Oh good to know it will fit with the top and side cases. Ordered one, thank you.

Na with no side cases and top it's super easy due to the large size. But with them you just stretch them to go over the case.
I make my little contribution. I bought syntetic fabric that is used for waterproof / windbreaker jackets ... that are painted inside with a gray color. Apart from being cheap, and being able to cut and make it to measure with side cases and top box, ... it weighs nothing (0.35kg) ... and it does not take up space when you fold and store it (20x20x5) cm .. .For me, it is ideal to take on a trip
It is that generally, the covers bought. they have the "short bed sheet syndrome" .... you want to cover your head, your feet are uncovered

The first cover I bought was recommended by a member here on the forum and it was too small. It was a Nelson Riggs Deluxe XL. It worked but did not cover the whole bike. I'm now using it on my Beta and it fits perfect. I might also add they have their own compression sack and pack down really small.
I recently got the XXL and it covers it the Super Tenere all the way to almost the bottom of the tires:

There is no denying yours is more practical and cheaper!!I make my little contribution.

The problem was not the cheap, it was that with the side case and the top box, the covers I tried, were short ... so I made it the right size with everything on, I had sew some reinforcements on the tips of the top box and side case, in case there is strong wind, do not crack in those places. If I travel without rigid suitcases, what is left over from the cover I fold in

I hear you. It was the big reason I went with the XXL cover. It fits over my panniers really well.
I bought a Nelson Rigg cover and it has been great. It came with a nice compression sack. It fits over my 22” windshield, Givi 54ltr top box and Happy trail panniers. It’s been a while so I’d have to go look at the size.
