I have a Dow cover albeit its a lightweight version and its made of
polyester. (Parachute type stuff.) Its red and gray and goes great with
the bikes colors but you can't put it on while the bikes hot. It is very
portable however, I usually take it on trips to cover in the evenings or
at the grocery stores. It was pretty inexpensive too. I think I ordered
thru Chapporal(sp), around $30 I think.

Oh, and welcome to the list! Keep your head low and you won't take
anything directly to the face! ;^)

Congrats on your new purchase Doug and welcome to the list.  You will
find we are friendly bunch, but you will have to wait and earn your
S/A#.  That being Smart Ass #.

As for the cover, I purchased a generic cover, but I did go out to the
garage for some info.  Mine is manufactured by Dow Canvas 4230 Clipper
Drive Manitowac, Wisconsin 54220.  Ph# 1-800-558-7755.  The tag say's
it's a Number 125 Touring/Full Dress.  I have the same brand cover for
my Venture as well, albeit a different size.  And no neither of them are
canvas, it is made of some kind of nylon (?).  I have seen these covers
at most bike shops I have visited.

 Greetings everyone.  My name is Doug McIntosh and I am the proud, new owner
 of a 1993 GTS.  I live in Austin, Texas, and I've been riding my old bike, a
 1985 Honda Magna V65, all over the US and Canada over the last four years.
 It was this touring (and riding my friend's '92 FJ1200A through the
 mountains of Colorado)that made me realize I needed a different bike.  So,
 here I am, and I must say I've never seen or ridden anything like our
 beloved GTS.  So, I look forward to seeing what happens on the list as well
 as meeting some of you on my "weekend" rides..
 
 So, with basic introductions out of the way, I pose a question to you all:
 Does anyone have any suggestions about makes and SIZES for a bike cover?
 I'm not sure what size might work best.
 
 Thanks and Cheers,

Hi Doug welcome to the list , i'am fairly new to the list my self and live
in bristol , UK.
Its a goldmine of information from those who know ,and
i have had some great replies to questions asked .
I would like to come to USA one day and meet up
with some fellow GTS owners as their doesn't seem to
be many in the UK , i've only met three other owners
so far.
You will find some interesting mods on the list if you
search back a bit ,as well as some after market parts
to improve your bike , ie ( heli bars ) i'd never heard of
them before i joined the list , i'll probably get some.
