The condensation usually shows up in the spring when the warm air hits the cold metals on the bike. I also park the bikes on some wood pieces to keep the tires of the cold damp concrete. Surprisingly the 02 FXD shows minimal rust/corrosion and it beds down in the garage with the wife's snow/salt laden car during the winter. They don't go out until the roads are washed of the salt in the spring.

I cover mine with an old sheet as well. The bike sits on one of those rubber backed carpets that you see in the entrance to stores. I put a bucket of 'Dry Rid' under the bike to collect the moisture. (I think that's what it's called. I get it at Home Depot)

I also use some old bed sheets to keep the dust off the bikes. In the winter I use Golden Rods. A Golden Rod is like a long curling iron. They come in various lenghts. I got mine a West Marine. I think you could google it and it will come right up. It uses very little electric. You place it under the bike and the warm air that rises keeps the condisation off the bike. I think it work really well...........My 2 cents
