    motorcycle canopy/tent

    Just got a new bike and my existing CycleShell Cruiser model does not fit my S100XR. I even tried removing the windshield and mirrors but no go.

    So I'm on the hunt for a new one. CycleShell Tourer model would be $600+ but I'm not ready to spend that type of coin at the moment.

    What other canopies/tents are other people using? I prefer one with a floor but I'm open to the idea of building my own floor if need be. I need one that would fit the S1000XR which is similar size to a R1200GS for comparison.

    I ended up buying a house with a garage.

    What's the difference between a bolt and a screw?
    First you screw, then you bolt.

    I have a Cycle Shell that fit my Tuono just fine. It might be the tourer model but I'm not sure. How's the height on your SX100 vs the Ape? If they are similar, my Cycle Shell is for sale.

    I already have a tourer model and the 1st bar won't clear the windscreen. Eye it it does look like once the 1sr bar clears, the top of the cycleshell is tall enough for my bike.

    The S1000XR is about the same height as R1200GS. Much taller than Tuono

    What about something like this
    https://www.harborfreight.com/10-ft-...hed-63297.html

    Likely not as high quality but should do the trick. Congrats on the new bike!

    So it turns out I actually have the Tourer model of the CycleShell and the frame can expand when closing to accommodate height
