I live in New Jersey where it rains a lot and wanted to buy a cover so that I can bring my stryker to my apartment. (There is no garage so it will be staying outside) Does anybody have any suggestions for a cover that will fit?

I have the same issue. I have one for home and for work. There are lots of covers available. Just make sure you get a large enough one, the Stryker is a long bike. I have the short Yamaha windshield and Hardstreet Sixer bags on my bike. I purchased a Nelson-Rigg defender X-large cover and it was too tight. I purchased a decent quality x-large no-name cover at my local automotive store and it fits much better.

Great, EXACTLY what I wanted to hear! I was about to buy that exact one. Is your no-name one 100% waterproof?

Thanks
My bike has been in storage since October so I going strictly from memory but I am pretty sure it kept my bike dry. I thought well enough of this cover to buy a second one to replace the Nelson Rigg. I also had a plastic one but I got rid of it right away. I had thought the exhaust had cooled down enough but I burned a hole in it. The Nelson Rigg is a better cover but for me it wasn't $25.00 better. Things to look for are: an elasticized bottom, heat resistant panel for the pipes, ventilation to let moisture out. a panel on the front to protect the windshield, and strapping on the bottom to keep it place on windy days.

I just bought a Rhino-shelter motorcycle cabana. I live in a apartment complex also (in Massachusetts) Depending on what website you go to, I have seen the cost from $388 to $400. I love it. Go to my garage...I have some pics of it posted there.

Do those Rhino covers have a vent system built in!

It has a vent on each side which can be velcro closed, or rolled up. It works great, and I think is well worth the money. It comes with expansion bolts if you want to bolt it right into the driveway, or you can bolt it to a 4x8 piece of plywood. If you use the plywood method, once you park the bike inside, it's immovable.

I ended up buying a great cover for $32 including shipping. It has poured and the cover did its job perfectly. Even comes with an elastic bottom, carrying bag, clips, and cable/lock. Fits the stryker's length perfectly but does have extra room in height. Also fits my fathers dyna wide glide with saddle bags, large windshield, back seat rest, highway bars etc.
