Anyone have the HD Motorcycle Cover?
I've got an aftermarket cover but I want the real deal. I'm trying to decide between the 98715-85VB Touring Motorcycle Cover with Eagle Logo
and the 98742-96 Touring Storm Shield
Both appear to be good what I want is for someone who has one to tell me the pros and cons.
I don't like bending my dual antennas. I want to use this daily and while touring. I've seen the Oasis Day Cover 98717-06 but don't see why I'd need 2 covers.
Thanks for any advice!

I use a cover made by DOWCO when traveling. I don't want Harley written on my cover to attract unwanted attention. I heard of a guy that puts a Honda cover over his bike for the same reason when he stops for overnights.

I have the HD one, I think it was......guess??? yes you guessed it $100 dollars! Anyway it works fine and has the soft spot sewn near the wind screen. Its a bit bulky to put on but fits my SG fine. For everyday use when I know I'm taking it out daily I just cover it up with a King size black fitted sheet from walmart $14. The sheet almost fits perfect leaving only the pipes showing.

I have the touring cover without the logo (P/N 98722-90B)...same same as the one with the logo I believe, other than the logo of course. It's pretty high quality and keeps the bike dry even in big Georgia downpours. Plus I can stuff it in it's bag and strap it to the outside of my rucksack when I travel (yeah, that's right I travel with a large Army rucksack and not a fancy T-Bag or whatever...embarrassing[&:]).

Thanks guys! I have a Security System, Insurance and besides I'm very proud of my Harley! $35K invested and if someone else likes it better than me I'll buy another.
I understand and appreciate your comments but I'm really only interested in MOCO!

Also...there should be velcro flaps in the back for the antennas...

Is that what that little black bag is for? **** I thought it was a helmet bag! LOL. I have the one without logo.

I have the 98742-96 Storm Shield that I take with me for overnighters. I've used it at several rally's and it does a good job. It's easy to work around the antena's. Downside.. it's bluky. it takes up 1/3 of a saddlebag. I also have a Oaisis day cover that I use when I ride to work. Foleded up, it's a little bigger than a 1 qt baggie. It's easy to put on, and quick to take off when I'm trying to get away from work as quickly as possible.

RE: Anyone have the HD Motorcycle Cover?
Got the touring cover myself. Tried the Dowco Zip up one, but it bent the hell out of the soft antenna's. (thinking about cutting a couple of holes...)
Anyway, the Hd cover is pretty sweet. It has the velco for the antenna's to slip thru and it fits perfect, and it beads water really well. For the money, not a bad deal for those of us not so lucky to have a garage.
I also bought the "day" half cover for traveling. Yes it says Harley (orange and black to boot), but packs super small and it keeps the dew off of it while traveling.
