    My cover shipped last Tuesday, eagerly waiting to see what it looks like!

      That cover looks great; The [edited: heat embossed pattern] sure give it a nice OEM look.

      Not sure that wrinkle will come out without changing the stitched seam to tighten it up just as it wraps. Just from the pics if the seam angle was pulled in 1/8" probably right at where it wraps it would lay nicely flat.

      Very nice cover regardless.


      Edit: They probably left a little extra room there to avoid stressing the seam. Will have to see; it seem like just a bit too much material.

      Wonder if just a thin bit of foam underneath would help flatten the wrinkle?

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

              Don't know if you're talking about my cover - but it already has a bit extra foam under there - it was sagging a bit without it. They couldn't tighten it up any more because of the seams.

              But we'll see how it settles once its ridden and out in the elements. Does new vinyl react with sun?

                yes..it will soften a bit and stretch.. maybe the sun will help work the set out of the wrinkles..you know it wont hurt anyhting. The foam may even expand a bit and stretch the wrinkles out too.
