Black Dog is on a distinguished road
I've had a few of the Lidl covers. Don't last long, but cheap, about �8. The medium size fits my XT600E and XTR perfectly (no panniers or top box). It also happens to fit my mower like it was made for it. When one of them tore in a wind I replaced it with a large from Lidl as it was the only size they had, and it is way too big. I reckon Lidl's 'large' is for full-dress Gold Wings and the like. But all makers will have different sizes, I would guess. Only way is to ask for dimensions and measure up.

+1 on the straps. My covers have eyelet holes and I attach a couple of bungees under the wheels. You definitely need something to tie them down.
