RE: Motorcycle covers?
Top, I don't think rain is going to be your issue.... humid salt air is going to be the enemy. I'm thinking any regualr bike cover to keep the moist salt air off at nite, and a quick rise with fresh water (at least as fresh water can be on Oki) will help keep her good. Do you need to get the Japanese "safety sticker" on bikes like you do on their cars?? (mucho $$$)... BTW by your sig name, USMC?? Sempre Fi..

Kinda stuck on the dessicant thing here. The bike barn seems better than out in the rain. Google "air dryers" and any one of them can get you dessicant by the bucket, cheap. Tell them you're serving overseas and they should give it to you and pay freight. IMHO!

RE: Motorcycle covers?
Thanks for all the replies. Some good choices.
To provide more info on my tour on The Rock.
I am here for 3 years. Wife is with me. Live in housing on Foster. Have a driveway that will park two cars in tandem. I have a shed on the back of the house that I plan to use during really bad weather but it is not practical for every day use.
From some of your replies I can tell that some of you have been here and know the deal.
I was at the Foster PX the other day looking at the plastic sheds. The one that caught my eye is 6X8. According to the specs for an 07 NT it has an overall lenght of 95 inches.
Anyone use one of these? How tight a fit is it?
Thanks

RE: Motorcycle covers?
there is a company in connecticut called cover-it that makes a very durable enclosure that withstands the ugly northeast winters very well and they are reasonably priced. I kept a scoot in one for 3 years and it worked well for me. I made a pressure treated floor out of 2x4 and plywoon and set cover-it on it. used minnerelac clamps to hold shed to floor. get clamps in electriacl supply house/ home depot. hope this helps.

Take a look at a company called Cycle Shell. http://www.cycleshell.com/ The cover is free standing, easy to use and folds up for storage. I've had mine for a couple of years and love it. As for dessicant, I went to a boating store and picked up a dessicant bucket that is used for winter storage of boats. The thing is about the size of a coffee can, pulls the moisture out of the air and provides a means for dumping the collected water. Only problem you might have is getting one shipped to Okinawa, but well worth the money.
go to----www. cycleshell.com -----and chack these out i've talked to them and i'll be ordering mine as soon as the weather breaks in the northeast
