Frequently Asked Questions
Which Model of the Speedway Shelter do I need?
Most standard size motorcycles, without high windshields or oversized accessories such as saddle bags or handlebar & mirrors, will fit nicely in to the Sport / Standard Size model. The full dress touring bikes, custom bikes with extended front ends or handlebars will normally work best in the Touring model. For trikes, ATVs, CanAms, or storing multiple bikes, the Deluxe model is the way to go.
Please refer to the motorcycle cover sizing guide or shelter sizing calculator for guidance in choosing the perfect cover for your motorcycle or other vehicle.

Assembly FAQs
How easy and how fast is the assembly?
The design and construction of the Speedway Shelter is optimized to provide maximum strength and stability, as well as ease of assembly. The frame connects together with a built-in spring clip system and the heavy duty cover attaches securely to the frame from inside the shelter which makes the assembly very fast. Assembly Time: 20 – 30 minutes.

Design and Construction FAQs
How is the design and construction different that other free standing covers?
Speedway Shelters is the original clamshell motorcycle shelter. The design of the frame and cover are one of a kind because:
- Our powder-coated square steel tubes are stronger and more durable than round tubes found on copycat shelters.
- All seams on this cover are fully taped for waterproofing.
- No tools to set up the shelter.
- The appearance of the cover is completely customized with a beautiful “swoosh like” racing stripe that include the Speedway Shelters logo.
What materials are the Speedway Shelters made of?
The cover material is a durable, 600 Denier (600d) urethane coated polyester fabric material used on luggage in the travel industry. The Speedway Shelter is the only retractable cover made of this material with fully taped seams for waterproofing.
The frame design was created by the staff at Speedway Shelters to allow a smaller size for reduced shipping cost and for more convenient floor display for our dealers. The frame is high grade steel with a baked powder coated white finish that minimizes rust. All pre-assembled screws and other hardware are stainless steel to also prevent rust.
Can the Speedway Shelter cover be replaced in the future?
Yes! All replacement covers can be found on our website. If you are unsure of what size you need, send us an email or give us a call and we will get you fitted right.
Durability, Stability, and Security FAQs
Can the Shelter be anchored to the ground?
Yes. We have designed the Speedway Shelter to be anchored to the ground or attached to a solid surface of your choice. Anchor bolts are included with every motorcycle shelter purchase.
It is popular to bolt or screw your Speedway Shelter to a portable base (wood or other material). By securing your Shelter to a portable base, you have the convenient option of moving the shelter around top wherever you want it.
By anchoring your Speedway Shelter, you secure it from high wind, falling objects, and unwanted curious people.
Is the Speedway Shelter secure in wind and snow?
Yes. Speedway Shelters has protected motorcycles through hurricanes and blizzards. After you properly anchor your Speedway Shelter, you have the comfort of knowing it will handle very strong winds and snow loads. (We recommend for best results to regularly clear snow piles between winter storms to help prolong the life of the fabric.) Every Speedway Shelter also comes equipped with sewn-in tie down attachment points for additional security in more heavy wind conditions.
For additional all-weather protection, and to extend the life of your primary cover, look at the Double Duty Cover options.
Can the Speedway Shelter be locked in the closed position?
Yes. There is built-in locking hardware welded to the frame assembly that will allow you to lock your Speedway Shelter in the closed position. This is an important feature for windy conditions as well as security purposes.
Can I park my vehicle in the Speedway Shelter with hot exhaust pipes?
YES! Your Speedway Shelter is designed with adequate space to allow for NO CONTACT to your vehicle. Not only does this allow you to park immediately after riding, you also protect your paint and chrome from scratches. The shelter is designed with good ventilation which enables good air flow throughout the space to minimize build up of heat and condensation.
Who is Speedway Shelters?
Speedway Shelters was established out of a passion for motorcycles.
The idea for Speedway Shelters came naturally out of over 20 years of design, development and manufacturing of extreme weather camping tents, sleeping bags, and backpacks for the outdoor industry. We basically said that if we can protect lives in the severe elements of the outdoors, we can also offer the “solution of protection” to motorcycles owners.
The need for many people to have affordable storage or full protection beyond a basic fabric throw-over cover was also the reason we dedicated the time to manufacture the best full protection motorcycle cover.
It was our interest in bikes, experience in manufacturing, and knowledge of a definite need that inspired us to design, develop and manufacture our Retractable “Full Protection” Speedway Motorsport Shelters!
As a small, family business, we always welcome your comments and support to improve our products. Please also help us to make those aware who may have a need for full protection of their motorcycles or scooters!
