If you love your bike- make sure it is properly protected to ensure a long, healthy life.

When you are not riding your motorcycle, it is important to take some precautions to make sure your bike is being protected.  Purchasing and using a motorcycle cover is simple, and will help protect against damage to chrome and paint from harsh elements, such as rain, snow, sun, and dust.

At Empire Covers, we offer motorcycle enthusiasts a few different options of covers- all dependent on your specific needs.  Our Standard Motorcycle is an easy-to-use top cover, perfect for those looking for low cost protection.  It it perfect to store in your saddle bag.  Our 100% Motorcycle Cover is also a top cover, except this one is made from waterproof material. The Titan 4L Motorcycle Cover is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.  It features include 4 layers to help provide 100% waterproof protection.  The fourth type is our V.I.P.S. Motorcycle Cover, the best cover we offer.  It is perfect for those looking for top protection.  The cover features two parts:  a simple top cover and a base cover.  The top cover can be used alone for quick coverage, or both covers could be used in combination to provide 360 degree protection.

Why Use a Car Cover?

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

Whether you live in a snowy location or a sunny location it is in your best interest to invest in a proper car/truck/cab/SUV cover. By taking the precautions to prevent weather damage you are, in turn, saving yourself the time and money it takes to fix the harm. Take the time to look through various covers and find out what the best cover is for you and your weather conditions. There is a cover for every climate it just takes a few moments to research and figure out what right for you and your vehicle.

If you live in weather conditions where there is rain, wind, and snow it is important to look into specific feature of a cover that can protect against the proper weather. Make sure to find a cover that is able to withstand the moisture and if it is not 100% waterproof find one that is breathable so that any water or moisture that does come under the cover will evaporate. This will ensure that mold and mildew will not appear in the cold and wet months. Also, make sure that the cover does have straps, buckles, or bungees to allow the cover to stay properly in place. By allowing this extra set of protection you protect your ride from high winds.

If you live in a sunny area then it is important to try and find a cover that has UV protection. This will protect not only the car but the lifetime of the cover itself. By offering certain amounts of sun protection the cover will be able to outlast one without such a feature. The car itself will be protected by the sun allowing the car to stay cooler and cleaner.

So no matter the conditions that you live in it is always important to do research and find the benefits of vehicle covers. Sure you will be spending some money because you have to purchase the cover but the money you save by having one far exceeds the cost.

Keeping Your Chrome Shiny

Friday, August 28th, 2009

You just spent your Sunday afternoon detailing your bike. It looks beautiful and brand new; the chrome is shiny and the paint is bright and glossy. It would be a shame for all that work to go to waste. If you want to keep your bike looking pristine for longer, use a high-quality motorcycle cover to protect it.

Motorcycles are great vehicles when you truly want to experience the great outdoors. If you live in a house with a garage, then storing and protecting your motorcycle is an easy task to do. By storing it in the garage, you protect it mainly from weather damage. But what if you live in an apartment complex with no garage or a house with no garage? Fortunately you still have a choice when it comes to storing your motorcycle. Consider using a motorcycle cover for protection against the weather.

The first thing you need to realize about motorcycle covers is that not all covers are made the same. Most riders believe that you can go to your local retail store, buy a cheap motorcycle cover, and expect it to do and act the same as a cover you would by at a motorcycle shop. The truth of the matter is – you get what you pay for. In other words, if you pay for a cheap cover, then you get cheap quality and a cover that won’t last very long at all. However if you put the money into a good motorcycle cover, then chances are it will last you a long while.

Cheap motorcycle covers that you get from your local retail store are not much more than a plastic, royal blue, tarp cover. This type of cover will tie at the bottom of the bike with elastic hooks. A high-quality cover is custom fit to your motorcycle so it fits snuggly around the bike to protect it from weather and flying debris.

A lot of motorcycle covers are made to be resistant to water, as well as to repel water or to have UV protection to prevent the harmful rays from damaging the paint job on your motorcycle. We now offer a 100% water proof motorcycle cover. It will not only protect against water damage, but it is completely breathable which will allow any moisture to evaporate out. This prevents the bike from getting any rust and rot. The exterior of the motorcycle cover will keep water away while the interior of the cover lets the moisture escape to keep your bike dry.

The sun’s UV rays can damage any part of your motorcycle from your paint job to your leather seats to your hoses- the sun can even damage your leather gloves if you ride hard and ride every day. Motorcycle covers can protect against all of that. The cover can also keep your seat cool from the summer sun.

Not only does a cover protect again the sun’s rays and rain, but it can also protect again the snow and ice, bird feces, tree sap, tree branches that may fall, and may even protect your tires against a stray dog that decides to use the bathroom on your tires.

So what type of cover do you need to get? There are several companies that make a heavy-duty cover for your motorcycle. These types of covers may come with vents, heat shields, and a surface that is waterproof.

If you are a traveling motorcyclist, you can find covers that are still durable but not as heavy duty. These types of covers come with a bag in which the cover can be stored. Motorcycle Covers also protect your bike from potential thieves as they can’t see what is under the cover.

Pricing for motorcycle covers are relatively reasonable, ranging anywhere from forty to eighty dollars. But by putting the money into a motorcycle cover, your bike will have years of protection and will look as good as new for as long as you have your cover.
