Now that I will be getting my Can Am back from the factory after a successful SVA and Registration (just waiting for the Tax Disk to arrive at the factory before I go up and collect her)
Is there a good company that anyone can recommend to supply a good tailored dust cover. It would need to take into account the rear wing and full windscreen options.
I have looked at some of the suggestions posted in the past, but unfortunately I do not have the height in my garage to be able to use Silk Parachutes!!
Any suggestions gratefully received
David

Mine came from classicadditions.co.uk

They may already have a pattern for the CanAm if someone else has had one done.

When mine came it was not a good fit around the wing but after a phone call it was agreed that I cut the stitching and pin some bits of material in and send it back.
They remade the back end and now it fits just fine.

Mine is an outdoor version where you may just want a dust cover but they do a whole host of materials.

Factory used to sell them. The people that make them were the same people who trim the seats.

Steve, I'm very interested in one of these as my poor beast now has to live outside due to my in-considerate mother-in-law actually USING her own garage now! I have a terrible fitting cover that blows off all the time.

Did you have a contact name at classic additions?

Well if she stops babysitting for us then bring it on. An outside one will do as well.

Not sure if it is what you guys are after but i have just ordered an oudoor carcoon system for mine, will be delivered tommorrow.

Fairly reasonable too all prices and sizes on the web site.
Even dry's the car off, and then re circulates the air.
