Thanks for all the suggestions. While we are on lock down, I was limited as to what I could see/find/view. Now we are opening up and I will try some of y'all suggestions. Did not thing about grill covers...we had one few years ago that had the flannel backing. So more things to look for! As far as weather proofing, no need for that. The only purpose of this cover is to cover the fuel tank when I'm working on the front side of the bike. Just for protection from my fat hands dropping something!! Hoping today I can get out and start doing some checking. JoAnn Fabric is up the street...will see if they are open now.
You ladies (and maybe some guys) are gonna teach this old motorcycle bum some new tricks!!! Thank You!!!!!
