It come time to get a new cover for the XS, anyone have any recommendations on a good cover that fits a stock XS well?
 
The cover you can get at Walmart looks like the one 2M eventually got except it's blue on the bottom instead of green and comes with a silver bag. The bigger the cover the better, since it keeps the whole thing covered no matter what.

Comes in handy for those unexpected late snow storms. I was thinking it's silver on top and blue on bottom but it's the other way around. Anyway, get the largest you can find. No such thing as too large.

On a recommendation from a neighbor I bought a Dowco Guardian (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HS1356/ref=emc_b_5_t). The "medium" size fits my 74 with mirrors well, and will get down over the pegs although the bottom of the rims and tires are exposed. I may suggest going up to the Large. Neighbor said he had a couple cheap ones that didn't last more than a season, but he had the Guardian for a few years and it was pretty robust. My experience has been good and would definitely recommend, although it's not cheap. It may be overkill if what you need is more of a dust cover, as opposed to something that will see some weather.
