Any one know if Yamaha ever made a black and red cover with NO PURPLE? If so I want one.

I read that the Jet Tribe ones are really good. Any feed back on those?

I have a red and yellow OEM one that I found used, but it still has the purple trim and vents, although you hardly notice it. The cover's shown in this pic here. I have a Jet Tribe cover for my SJ and I've been happy with it.

I think I am going to order 2 Jet Tribe ones. I get the impression they are nicer than the slippery ones. Stock are impossible to find.

I've got the stock red/yellow cover, the Gen 1 Jet Tribe, the Gen 2 Jet Tribe and the Slippery Cover and I hate them all. The Jet Tribe covers are the nicest, but when using any of them I always get some type of wear on my Blaster. I've tried making it tighter, looser, everything imaginable and nothing stops minor "rubbing" damage from occurring. I go without a cover when trailering except on long trips when I've driving at night and the bugs beat everything worse than the covers. I'd rate them Jet Tribe - 1, Stock - 2, and Slippery - 3.
If you're looking for just a cover to protect them while sitting outside when it's not getting trailered, go with a cheap one because any of the other 3 more expensive ones will fade and go bad just as quickly as the cheap ones (i'd rather throw out a $80 cover every two years vs a $170 one).
Just my $0.02

I have Jet Tribe blaster covers and they are the only ones I will buy from now on! Best cover I have ever seen. I also have a Slippery cover which I don't hate, but the Jet Tribe covers are much thicker and better quality.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am mostly looking for just sitting outside but some trailering also. I think I will order two Jet Tribe ones tomorrow.

I have a new jettribe cover i'm not happy with. Had to cut down rental bars just to make it fit and they arnt extended bars. I have JAM sponsons on the rear and the cover will not stay on. I also have gone through a ton of buckles as they keep breaking due to how tight of a fit. Its a nice quality but i think mine might have just been stitched undersized a bit. The cover is so tight it leaves impressions in the paint... good luck

I bought the jet tribe cover. It looks and feels like good quality but I could never get it over my bars. I have the 701 quick steer with renthal fat bars. They are the cr high bend with 2.5" inches cut off them. Eventually planning on taking the cover to a seemstress make a little wider to fit the bars. Until then a blue tarp from walmart is working fine

Well I went to order the Jet Tribe today and Hot Products told my dealer not to sell it to me if I have aftermarket bars because it won't fit. So I called Jet Tribe and they say it is only made for stock bars. Who the hell is running stock bars?! I have Blowsion bars I believe they call them run about bars. Any one have them and a cover?

I checked out a friends slippery today, it seemed terrible. Way thicker and heavier than necessary, and I could not get it to stretch over both sides around the bar area. Seems stock is the only way to go and good luck getting them now.

I've borrowed a friends stock b1 cover and no luck with it fitting over the aftermarket bars either.

Hey any one that is interested in a good quality cover I am getting two made by a local upholstery shop who does a lot of work on my family's antique and classic cars. Also she has done the seats in my pick up. I am %100 confident they will come out as good as OEM Yamaha. I gave her a my old OEM one as a pattern and she can get the same exact material to make it from. If you interested I can probably get you any color combo for $200 with shipping. Let me know quick she is making mine in about a week and it would be best to have them all made at one time.
