Title: Cover fit for 18.5" with handles and hinge?
Post by: jdefran on October 26, 2016, 04:33:07 PM
Hey fellas, I have a 18.5" WSM with those garage door type handles installed on the middle section. Currently I can fit the stock cover on, albeit a little snug. Question is, if I install the hinge kit will the cover still fit with the handles still installed?

I made my cover a little bigger to fit over the handles by cutting open the side seam and adding a triangular piece of material (I happened to have a black tarp that was similar to the material of the cover).  Since I don't have an industrial sewing machine I glued the material in, but in a pinch you could staple it.
