If you don't have a garage,best place is in the living room.

 

It should not blow it over unless it has been lowered to the point that the kickstand makes the bike sit almost upright. With solid wheels I have had the wind blow me off the road though, luckily I didn't crash. Keep the cover on I say. I have never had a bike blow over but I'm thinking it would have to be like maybe 75 MPH wind. And remember that's 600 pounds of steel.

 

A lot of guys will probably flame me for this but if you ever see a bike going down the road on a trailer with the cover on ? I'd bet money the paint has damage if the cover stays on very long. A lot of folks cover their bike going to Daytona...I've seen them come through here and we are about 12-15 hours away. It's just easier to wash the bike when you get there as opposed to repainting after the cover beats it to death. I would take the cover off and try to park it in a more protected area around a building.

 

+1 on removing the cover, especially if it flaps or can get any dirt under it. Can you throw a ratchet strap on the left passenger peg or left tree just to keep the weight on the stand. I would think the only way it would tip over is if it came up off the stand and either kept going to the right, or the stand folded back and let it come back down on the left.

 

no doubt there, i have black denim and the finish is already taken a pounding, not from the cover and not from the elements, but from my friggin wedding ring, im ready to divorce my wife so my paint doesnt take any more scratches

 

Take off all jewlery when cleaning bike, that a rule

 

im starting to get that custom grind look

 

had my covered bike blow over in a covered parking garage in ocean city MD a few years back. no real damage but I wont use the cover when its windy.
