Following on from the excellent opinions on chain maintenance i thought i would chance my luck on further opinions. I used to have an excellent green canvas bike cover for my Sr 500 20 years ago but it appears the choice is more limited these days. Is it oxford or oxford??

For covering my 2001 Africa Twin when rallying I bought an unbranded one for a GS1200 off ebay figuring the larger size of the portly Panzer would more than do for my venerable AT with panniers and top box. I was right. Used it in rain and light snow. Wouldn't say it's good for permanent outdoor use but for a short period of time it's fine
If you want a real canvas one they are hard to find I can rate this Green one from

part no/ 92567
made in India it will cover a BMW F650 Dakar with top an side boxes so is not a small cover the sun eats them in the end but will last 4-5 years with a top up of tent spray from time to time so I think it worth the money an it £48 looks cool with the Endfield made like a Gun Logo on it. your Honda wont mind my Harley panhead nor bmwf or Yamaha ttr or Xr 250 Honda seem upset about it

But just bought the same one from Aldi today for £9 so if I get another 3 or 4 years out of it I'll be well happy
