Review on Generation Motorcycle XYZCTEM Waterproof Protects by Jerry Eintertainment

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks great so far, love the heavy weight

Covers my 1997 Valkyrie perfectly with 21" windshield, passenger backrest and leather side bags and sits under all non-rubber parts. Harley Bagger or Gold Wing is about the same. It seems really good and the perfect size for me, all at a great price. This tarp is quite heavy, almost like a light tarp, which is a big advantage because with the rain comes the wind and a constantly bouncing tarp is not only annoying, it also wears out faster from all the stress on the seams and rubbing the backing and so on on your mirrors, license plates, tires, etc. I was actually able to compare XYZCTEM to a lighter, cheaper tarp I bought right after the XYZCTEM I used to cover my 1976 Sportster. Although the bikes were well protected in the carport, some wind got in and XYZCTEM just stood there, more like a tarp, while the lighter tarp on the Sportster bounced around all night. Another disadvantage of the weight and windlessness is that the light tarpaulin inflates like bellows even on good windy days and sucks the wind in and over the bike and into every crack. Something made out of canvas would be even better for use in my carport but I can only imagine the cost and shipping; However, comparing the two tents showed the importance of weight and rigidity. Cons: Generic: XYZCTEM seems generic and I disagree. That's why I put on a lighter shell to match my Sporty. I would like XYZCTEM to make them in a few smaller sizes. I return to the wind: A loose tarpaulin is much more susceptible to wind. Price: XYZCTEM costs almost twice as much (33.00 vs. 17.00) as the lighter cap, although I think it will last many times longer in the long run.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Legacy
