I'm in UK near Manchester Airport. Without the ground mat my VFR gets extra damp! And the concrete projects the ice cold into the bike. My bridge stone tyres were mis shapen with contact with the cold floor! I found 3mm rubber matting was too skinny but 5mm rubber matting works best. Enjoy

It is working out really well for me, I am really pleased I have got it. If your drop comment is about the VFR vid, I was on the left of the bike and it fell away from me, because it was so unexpected I wasn't in a postion to stop it. Lessons learned, thinking back this must be the first time in 40+ years and over 30 bikes that this has happened like that. I must be getting old :)

How would u bolt it down to the concrete plz helpful video
@SPANNERRASH Жыл бұрын
Once you are certain about where you want to keep it, there are specific holes in the bottom frame. There are some at the corner of the back part, and also on the hinges. They send the right kind of fasteners in the hardware pack. They are anchor type fasteners. You drill the hole, put the fastener in, screw the bolt, and it makes the outside of the part in the hole expand so that it doesn't come out. They aren't very big and you only need 1 in each mounting postion, 4 altogether. You do need to anchor it down though or it will move when it is very windy.

I suspect you are referring to the garage where we do the car work. Unfortunately it is around 15 miles away. To far to walk home :) My garage is a standard 2.4 by 4.8 with two blast cabinets, and a large compressor, never mind the usual garage clutter. I can fit two bikes in with it as it is, but it leaves no room to breave. The cover was a game changer for having a little more garage access, I wouldn't be without.

Thank you for sharing a very well done video. I have 1 question I wonder if I could ask of you. I live in an area where we get snow. So naturally, I'm concerned about a snow load and it's weight. Do you think reinforcement on the top would be needed such as conduit sleeves would be necessary? Simply inserting the top cross bars into the conduit is what I'm suggesting. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you again for an awesome video! Rick
@SPANNERRASH2 ай бұрын
The framework and fabric for the cover is quite strong, and if you reinforced the frame as well it would be very strong. Sorry but I have no idea about snow load! I am sure it will not be a problem here in England, but I really couldn't say for somewhere that gets real snow! I would give it a try, but don't quote me! Ha. Good luck.

@SPANNERRASH Thank you so much for your quick reply and thoughtful comments! I live on Long Island in New York, so snow can be a real problem.

It comes with some ground anchor ( lightweight ) style bolts to connect it to the ground. I haven't had a problem, despite it being in a wind tunnel at the side of my house, and we have had some severe weather that has caused damage elsewhere. I do put an additional weight on the corner of the end that comes up, as well, though. I hope this helps.

You lost me at the instructions part of the video , as nice as that carry bag is its a bit pointless , it would make the product cheaper to buy without it, i cant see any other use for it either ,. I agree the pipework could be better finished , maybe dipped in something or a better paint finish , maybe spray it with a tin of hamerite before you put the cover on, but once up it looks pretty good and weather proof, ive just bought a "moto gp" out door rain cover for £20 and its good for the price to,. would it not be better /possible to reverse the bike in and put it on the mainstand ? or is it front in first only ?

i have this and i reverse mine in, its much easier, its also lot easier to build than it looks, ive had mine 3 yrs now and not had any issues with rust of the pipes, the cover however has faded due to the sun and the bottom bits that touch the ground have began to fray, however its still going strong and still keeping my bike dry, im in Scotland so you can image the weather we get up here. if you are in 2 minds to get this or not, then get it, trust me its worth the £100ish that they cost, i got the "hide your ride" version, but im guessing they are all pretty much the same. at £100 i was happy to get a year out of it and just get a new one every year, so its massively out performed what i expected, you will go through more of those £20 covers in the time this will last you so would actually save you money just getting one tbh

@SPANNERRASH Жыл бұрын
If you follow the links in the description they have the dimensions of both Vevor motorcycle tents. I have the smaller one, it has a max height of 1.6m. The VFR is around 1.2m high, mine is slightly higher having a raised screen, but probably only 5cm higher or so. You have to take into account that the highest part of the tent is towards the middle, so the screen only just fits under where the tent goes over it at the front. I hope this helps.

TBH the tent part is great, probably couldn't be much better. However the frame doesn't really have enough rust proofing. With hindsight I think a good coat of a rustproofing paint before building it would really have helped. That having been said. it is now coming into it's second Winter, and the bike that I have put in it has been very well protected. I think next year I will need to give the frame a bit of attention if I want it to last, but overall I think it is good for the money.
