Default What is a good bike cover?

I store mine in the garage, so I dont need an all weather water proof one. And I dont need the $150 Harley one. But, something to keep the dust off during the winter and breath so there isnt condensation trapped under it and something that wont scratch.
Thanks

well you can either throw a blanket over it, get the spendy harley cover, or go down to walmart and get a $20 cover from walmart.. we got 2 of them for our dyna and slim when we went to idaho this last summer for a road trip and they worked just fine

Here is a one I have used which is breathable plus has heat shielding in case you want to throw it on after a ride. It is a great outdoors cover too.

Since it's just a dust cover you can use an old cotton bed sheet or a large light weight piece of cotton material. I use a large sheet of cotton flannel material I bought at a fabric store for a few bucks.

I got mine at W-M for $20 too. I've had it for 9 months and it fits perfect on my Blackline. Very satisfied.

King Size sheet. Just make sure to let your bike cool down before you throw it on.

Combination of deer, buffalo, and sheepskin hides on my Shovelhead.
Not fashionable, but very fuzzy.
