Default Good fitting cover?
I know, I know winter isn't here yet. But I'd like to keep some dust off my bike with a good cover during the times it sits for a week or two, especially in my garage that has a lot of traffic. So some extra protection would be nice. So with a $100 budget, what's a GOOD fitting cover for my street bob, or similar Dynas?

Microfiber interior? Are the Harley covers any good? I could get a discount on one of those, to keep it under $100.

When I bought my bike one of the extras it came with was a HD cover. It's an indoor cover made of heavy cotton with an elastic hem and the fit is excellent.
I've had it about 7 years now and it's held up great.

HD makes a nice cover, but it is likely more then $100. Shop around, maybe a used one on this forum or Ebay.

So the fact that I use a large grill cover for my bike in the garage is not a good idea?

It'll trap moisture, especially when there are changes in temperature. You're much better off with an old cotton sheet or bedspread.
And you don't want the grill cover rubbing on your paint.

I bought an ultra guard last year. Fits my wide glide well and has a spot that is lined to prevent pipes from burning cover. Was around $60.

I've got an insider at the local HD shop, my lady works there and gets a nice discount. So price on genuine HD stuff isnt always what I/ she pays.
