Cheers,

I am going to go for the dust off xxl. £60 inc delivery. 420 denier sounds like a nice thick sheet, 20dn thicker than the wife's tights.

And use a piece of wood to make a ridge pole and some clippy things :-)

I'll take a pic and let you know how I get on with the quality and sizing.

I'm on my second Oxford Stormex (moved from an R6 to the Triumph) and I can't fault them, other than the price. I've had bikes outside under them for years and NEVER had any water ingress or reason to complain.

Some of the sizing is a bit stingey though.

Not the clippy things I had in mind but they are indeed things-wot-are-clippy so may well do the trick. I used to cable-tie the cover to itself, the bike stand, etc., using the holes in the clippy things.
