Review on Medium Silver Motorcycle Half Cover - Nelson Rigg UV-2000-02-MD for Optimal UV Protection by Ryan Reed

what i was looking for

This is a lightweight case. It protects the seat and handlebars from the sun, that's all I need. It gets a little hot here in Arizona at times, and the black seat and grips make the ride hot. It doesn't cool the handles at 110 degrees, but it helps. Adding summer riding gloves really helped (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CK1DPNG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). This case rolls up easily and fits in a bag for fuss-free storage, then I just toss it in the front compartment, yet it's small enough to fit anywhere. There are four straps attached, but I only use the two large ones that go through the footpegs after pulling the cover from the taillight (or top box if installed) to the handlebars. It stayed on in 50mph gusts and sat right where you see it in the first shot, which is pretty candid (there's a parking lot behind the camera). Considering I only paid $27 for it, I'm willing to call it a consumable. If only I can get a few years of it. The AZ sun kills motorcycle seats, and if it saves them, it's worth it. Bike is a 2015 Honda NC700X with pannier rack, saddlebags and panniers. (see photos) It fits well especially when it has a top box on it so I doubt it will fit a large front wheel but it is medium sized. So there are two big sizes.

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Doubtful
