86 Spree scooter cover, need suggestions

Post by pognoot »

I am in the market for a good quality cover for my 1986 Honda Spree. I found several different brands on Amazon.com like CoverMax and Dowco.

Any suggestions?

I store my Spree in the garage, but I recently purchased a trailer hitch/receiver and the VersaHaul VH-50cc so that I can take my scoot down to my Dad's house which is about 120 miles from where I live. I'd like to get a decent cover for it while it's riding on the back of my car.

If no one has any suggestions, I'll just throw down on whatever. I'm sure they all pretty much do the same thing.

Greetings;

Dowco makes good stuff but pricey, recommended.
However NO cover should be used on an open trailer. The wind will beat the snot out of the cover and abrade any soft bits and paint right off in much less than 120 miles. Leave it exposed, and wash the scooter as needed on arrival. YMMV.
