Tourer (Large) Motorcycle Cover Shelter Storage Tent Garage

I bought The Bike Shield about 4 months ago and started using it on the side of my house. I store my Suzuki Boulevard C50T with windshield and saddlebags and it fits great. The medium size is just right. It covers the entire bike all the way to the ground. This movable enclosure is very similar to others I saw online, but the price was a bit less so I gave it a shot. I'm very impressed with how it's held up in the sun, rain, and wind.Installation was a process since the instructions were horrible. But it was a simple puzzle to put together once you lay all the pieces out. With just myself putting it together it took me almost 90 minutes. I love being able to drive my bike in, close it, and lock it, all with the pipes still being hot. Great concept. I would like to buy another canvas covering to have on hand for when the current one finally deteriorates. It still looks brand new, but I would guess that after 2-3 years it will begin to wither.Overall, I think it's a great product.

I've had the touring model set up for about a month now. Overall I'm satisfied as long as it can hold out for a while. I'm hoping to get at least one year or better if I can.Setup was a bit of a hassle. The instructions gladly refer to piece "L" yet none of the piece had any labels on them. Watch their video and I think it helps a bit. I also thought I was smart and faced most of the bolts so they extended outside instead of inside. If I left them that way it would have torn the material. Go by the instructions and just take your time and try to understand them.I have stowed two bikes in there (not at the same time). One is the Road King (pictured). The other is an Ultra Limited with the tour pack and antennas and big fairing. Both fit in there perfectly. For the UL, the antennas bend nicely into the rack on the tour pack so they don't hit the fabric.Even in the heat, humidity and rains we've been getting in VA it stays nice and dry on the inside. The ground gets a little wet but the fabric and the bike are good. I think that's because of the vents, which I keep open all the time.The door comes down easily even with one hand. Instead of letting it fall to the ground I just release one bar at a time until it touches the ground gently.I built the whole thing in a comfortable and shady area and was able to easily lift and walk it to its final location. It is big, so where you build it needs to be an open area.I am now thinking of buying a second to put both bikes under cover bit that's eight hundred dollars total and seems like a real stretch. I need to think on that one a bit. That much money and you could buy a shed or other two-bike options I think.I added a rubber mat (Amazon recommended). Not a good choice. It's already all torn up. What a waste. I'm looking for alternatives. I also added an aluminum plate I picked up from the hardware store for the jiffy stand. That works out fine. I need to figure out a good way to secure it to the ground. I purchased what I think are called trampoline staples. Way too big. But the next smaller thing I can find are skimpy tent pegs or garden staples. I need to figure that out before the winter. Anyone have ideas I'd appreciate a note in the comments.If you can take the risk that it might not survive a very strong wind or heavy snow and you have no secure place to put your bike when not riding then this might be a good choice. If it came down on the bike I could see it scratching up paint. I wonder if I should consider foam padding on the verticals. Hmmm. I haven't tried any of the competitors.

So I purchased this shelter after my last CycleShelter was destroyed by the wind after many good years of service. Since CycleShelter went out of business, the Bike Shield seemed like a good alternative. I was apprehensive given there was no real way to secure the portion of the shelter that rotates open but decided to give it a shot. Assembly was straightforward and I had pre-installed Bolthold Asphalt anchors to secure the bottom plate. Unfortunately within a day, the wind was severe enough to pick up the shelter where it rotates open and bend and break several pieces including the bottom plate. I contacted the company asking for replacement pieces and very quickly, they sent me an entirely new shelter! I replaced the broken pieces and installed four new asphalt anchors as seen in the photos. I use i-bolts to provide a method with 3/4" piping to hold both ends of the shelter securely to the driveway. To open the shelter, I simply pull out the front pipe and open as usual. So far, I've had one decently windy day and the shelter has held up beautifully. I probably will buy a cover for the bike as I have seen other reviews where the shelter will sway enough to bang against a large bike like a Goldwing and damage the paint. The only other accommodation that I made was to take all the rubber foot pieces off so the frame is flush with the ground.

I purchased this product and assembled it with ease. I noticed some minor damage to the cover and reached out to customer service. They shipped me a brand new cover free of charge. Product and customer service are both great.

I'm so glad I finally purchased one of these. Living in an apartment means I don't have garage coverage, and I've been using a tarp for the past year. This is so worth the investment, as it actually protects the bike unlike a tarp.Assembly was pretty straightforward, though I would recommend having a helper, if only for the cover portion at the end. I actually received two sets of instructions, and one of them is vastly superior to the other. If all I received was the worse set, I would definitely have trouble like the other reviewers have mentioned. Be aware that even with the better directions, you end up installing the "B tubes" and then have to remove them to get the cover on. Not sure why you have to install them the first time? All the hardware uses nyloc nuts, and I'm not personally a fan of using those multiple times, but this isn't a high vibration application so there should be no issue.The cover feels well made, and I don't doubt its toughness. The hardware is all coated (zinc chromate maybe?) or galvanized, so corrosion shouldn't be an issue either. Overall I'm definitely happy with the product and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.I purchased the medium size, and it fits my Triumph Speed Triple perfectly.
