I just celebrated a milestone birthday, and as I work away a lot and the Z900 can be stood for months at a time 'er indoors for once bought me something I really like!!!
A carcoon bike bubble!
No more cleaning chrome and alloy every time I uncover it....just unzip and ride.
Happy days, Kev.

It's perfect, it is clear with a red base and fits the bike with about 6 inches front and rear and just clears the bars with no mirrors fitted.
It has a charcoal filter to take out dust and moisture and a small fan keeping it inflated. Also you get a battery conditioner with it so the battery is kept good as well.
I think there are 2 or 3 sizes and this one was about 200 pounds.

I don't have any pics and I am in Hong Kong until Xmas. I will ask my daughter to take some pics when she can.
This one also has a drying option if you put the bike in wet.

another option for those on a tighter budget is one of these

thinking of one for when the b40 is finished, as they dont seem very expensive and have virtually no running costs.
cheers mark.

| Or just bring them into the living room when it's cold and damp - you can sit and admire them when there's nothing but crap on the telly.....
