Hey, guys. I've been using a motorcycle enclosure for the past couple of months and wanted to provide a short review on it. Here is the link where I bought it from if you're interested: www.amazon.com/Bike-Shield-St...
Thanks! I wish I could go back and review it again. I feel like my train of thought wasn't the best and if I could re-record it I would try to be a little more organized. When I record my videos it's just off-the-cuff stuff where I don't really have a plan as to what I want to talk about, I just start talking haha.
Hi, Yuma. This one is a Medium size. I have checked back on Amazon a few times and I see they run out stock pretty frequently. It's normally restocked fairly quickly, though.
Hi, TJ. There is a locking portion of the enclosure that keeps the opposite end from coming up too high. With the plywood and whole setup, it only ever moved maybe 2 inches when we had a tough storm here. If you plan on using this for an extended period of time, I definitely recommend using plywood or something and drill the enclosure down to help with keeping it all snug and secure. I pre-treated my plywood for outdoor use, so make sure to cover all your bases if you commit! I do not have the shield up anymore, but it held up well for the year and a half that I was using it. Hope this helped!
Hi, Pito! I saw your other comment as well. I think at the time I was able to buy this for $300. Water doesn't get inside the shelter, but if you store it outside in the winter I would put another tarp on your motorcycle just in case. I never had any issues with water getting in for the year that I used it.
Hi, Daot. I've since moved to an apartment with a garage, but the plywood held up well for a year's time. When I took the whole thing apart, the bottom part where I drilled through to hold the tire-bar down started to get pretty dark and I think it was starting to rot. I probably didn't treat the wood correctly. The whole parking lot was on a bit of a slant, so the plywood didn't sit flush with the lot. There could have been all sorts of salt from the winter, or water getting stuck up underneath. Tough to say. I'm sure there are other materials that could be used to hold the shelter in place, though. Just not sure what that would be haha. Hope this helps!
Hey, Ron. I never had any trouble with snow accumulating underneath by blowing up under the gaps. I did buy some cheap tarps to line the corners of the enclosure, though, which probably helped prevent that.
It will get holes if hail hits. A jerk in the apartment complex who thinks it’s an eyesore could cut it. The psychology there is a crazy person knowing you’re trying really hard to protect something and then vandalize it. You will spend $400 and then another $400 to replace it. Not to mention, moisture and water still affect the bike from the ground absorbing into the plywood. You could just rent a storage unit and it would be cheaper in a year than all the previously mentioned. This should only be a temporary option.
