Buy bike cover R1200GSA Istanbul

I need to buy a big bike cover for my R1200GS Adventure with 3 Adventure Aluminum cases (HUGE!) as I pass through Turkey in a week or so. Any thoughts on where I might find one for sale? Thanks in advance for any leads.

It must be tailor made if you want to cover panniers and top case as will have special dimensions in this case.

Not sure where you are now but in all towns tailor is available.
In small towns cheaper and more friendly..
(Prefer waterproof and dust proof cloth)



In Turkish.
Where can I find a tailor.
Nerede terzi bulabilirim.

I want to have water and dust proof motobike cover.
Su ve toz geçirmez kumaştan motosiklet örtüsü istiyorum...

How much.
Ne kadar.

Wish you all the best..

Hey,

I was in Sanli-ufra and they made a water and dust proof cover for my 1200GSA for 15 TL. Really cheap and it have helped me out already many times.

Cheers

I googled and found a uk based company that custom makes bike covers, even for top boxes and panniers: http://www.coveryourbike.co.uk

thanks all for the responses, I have been on the road and without internet for a few days. A tailor made cover, inexpensively made by a tailor - amazingly clever idea. I was hoping a shop would have a really large cover for a Harley Davidson, I'm not worried about a close fit as I will be tying it all down with rope.

Much thanks!
