Can anybody suggest a light tranportable cover that fits a PX or P200?
I have a Dowco for my GTS, but it has quite large and heavy - I can't imagine carrything that thing around with me in the pet carrier.

I've got a nelson rigg. It's not the toughest cover (already has a small rip from who knows what... can't be much since I just slip it on and off...), but it was cost effective, light, and seems to do the trick for now.

Threadjack......well it happened to me!
I'm looking for a heavy duty outdoor cover for my PX. I got a Weatherall Plus on the Beema and so far its great.
I would not be travelling with it so size doesn't matter (that's what the girls say ). Any suggestions from you cold climate guys........ Cheers, Matt |

Also considering: Dowco Scooter Cover. Not sure how well this will fit the P? http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/5/18/171/1459/ITEM/Dowco-Scooter-Cover.aspx Also go the Motorsport one. It says its built of black, heavyweight fabric. Does that mean its not that transportable? Little pricey too! https://www.scooterwest.com/item_detail/P-PX-Stella-SX-Scooter-Cover/1629/ I hate sizing these things. I would like good, tight(er) fit so it doesn't turn into a sail! |

Nice, let us know how it works out. I ordered my Nelson Rigg for only 25 bucks or so from one of those scooter parts sites. I think the ones you can find on the Nelson Rigg website come in more durable forms than my "econo model" but I could be wrong. It is ok. It works, especially for the price. But I think some of those other options you have pointed out might be worth the higher cost.

FYI - I received my cover from scooterworks. It is GREAT - the fit is almost perfect - it is snug and covers everything. And there are zip up extenders for a topcase or windshield. And it packs small enough to barely fit in the legshield storage.
I'll post pics later today. |
