smart in a bike barn...........

I know it's been asked before and I said I would post pics.........well here they are:








It "just" clears the mirrors but if you fold them in (not necessary) there is PLENTY of room. You also need to pull all the way in to the frame to clear the roof when you flip the cover down! Works fine, lasts long time The cover is guaranteed for life If it ever wears out etc., just notify them and they will send a new one (just pay shipping). I've used one on my scoot for about 6 years now. We get plenty of wind, snow, rain etc. and it has held up well.

The website :http://www.thebikebarn.net/ , they have FREE shipping until July 31 !!!

Is the material stretched tight so it cannot come into contact with the car? That would be my only worry - you'd be surprised the damage an ill fitting car cover can do to the paint in a car in high winds.

That looks great though - nice find!

The frame is inside and holds the material away from the vehicle. It also has 4 hold down plates (I screwed them into the concrete) for the front and 2 nylon straps with clamps to secure the back (foldable) part

I like that! Soon I'll be building a carport but that is nice and a great idea.

My question is....how many composters do you need? I see another in the background. That being said....I have the same model, or it may be a tad smaller.
