Like the title says can anyone recommend a good outdoor cover for a 2020 FXLRS. Please do not say Nelson Rigg. I have gone through 2 of them. They are trash. Unfortunately for now I do t have a garage and I have to store my bike outside. Thank you in advance.
I can't speak directly to an outdoor motorcycle cover, but I did purchase a Seal Skin supreme (supreme being their nicer top of the line version) cover for my boat about 7 months ago. Its fully waterproof, so much so that I had to build a little support so that the water could drain off and not pool in my boat. And it's darn durable. been through a few storms, had snow and ice build up on it, didn't tear when flexing it to pop the ice off. It also came with nice buckles and straps to secure it so it does not flap in the wind at all. As well it has a lifetime warranty, for whatever that's worth.
Only downside to being fully waterproof is that it doesn't breathe so it will build up condensation on the inside of the cover if there is moisture inside the boat. But rolling the cover half way back on the boat on a sunny day fixes that quick, or when I roll it up to take it off to take the boat out.

Dowco is decent, that's what I use. Switched from Nelson Rigg. Only issue is that after a few years, maybe 4-5, the threads start giving up. Material is fine, just the thread.
They do warranty this, but you have to send them a sample where the failure is. Also there is a $10 replacement fee.
That looks like you are parked next to an air boat place...
Is "that" the location used for parking?
Reason:
There are some motorcycle "tents" that flip over to cover the bike but that would be a pain if your parking spot in a shared spot.
Storing in a shared parking spot would be different.
You also need to take into consideration how cover will be stored when not on the bike.
The one that I have used in the past and would recommend is the Oxford Stormex (or equivalent).
It may not be available in the US although you you could try on Amazon.
I can't say what works but a cover did not work for me! Years back I found myself having to store my Classic under a cover in a condo parking lot on in deep South, a humid coastal area for about 2.5 months.
The Harley brand cover trapped the moisture and I got rust for the fist time ever!
Looking back I wish I had rented a storage building or research a better option.
