Who makes a good 100% weatherproof cover and where could I purchase it? Also, I noticed covers come in various sizes. What size would fit the XB? |

The Buell Fortress cover is pretty good. |

The Fortress cover is listed as indoor use |

For longer term storage, be careful with waterproof covers. The humidity will accumulate under the cover, which in turn will get corrosion going rapidly. Don't know what your cover use will be, but I'd suggest an old sheet for long term (indoor) storage. Henrik |

I have an older Fortress cover that I got off Ebay. It works really well for keeping the water out. I can't say for the newer one though. I know mine is different from the one pictured on the Buell website. |

I got a small shed for 2000$. Delivery might be a problem though!! JKn Are you keeping it outside or inside? |

I keep it inside during the winter but during the riding months I rarely put it away. I have a cheap cover I have been using that was working but it appears to have lost it's ability to repel water. I'm guessing it had some sort of spray on repellent. |

Why not go t a local RV/Camping supply and get some spray on stuff made for nylon tents and canopy's? I mean if you already have the cover, spend a few bucks and see if it could be waterproofed again. |
