Bike Cover

Storing my bike over the winter in an unheated garage (unfortunatley).

Should I put the supplied CVO cover on it or leave it uncovered? Kind of afraid of the moisture. I have heard that it will trap the moisture on the chrome and be worse than leaving it uncovered.

Anybody have any recommendations??

I have a cheap E-bay cover on mine in the same type of garage. No problems and keeps the dust and crap off.

Old flannel sheet. Soft enough not to scratch, keeps dust off and lets moisture out.

I second the sheet. Don't use nylon or something that cannot breath.

I cover and don't cover. I cover it up and then the weather get above 40 and I gotta ride, so uncover. I would HIGHLY recommend a battery tender though. 30 busk and she will be ready to ride when you are
