Default Outdoor indoor cover

I ordered one from sealskins and after sending me 2 covers that didn't fit, they would only refund 80% of my money. I have looked at the Harley cover's but haven't bought anything yet. I need a good cover for a ultra classic. The bike is in a fully enclosed garage, but I do some wood work in there and don't like to have to take the bike outside each time. I also want to be able to cover the bike if I am at a rally or say parked on the street and rain starts. So if anyone has any good suggestions I would like to hear them.
Thanks Allen

It's what I use too. My first one bit the dust last year but it lasted 5 years.

Yep. $25 cover for when on the road. Very light weight and compact. Great for keeping the dew off and lookers from touchy feely. At home, i have the HD cover

Walmart has an XXXL delivered for $25.
They com with a bag and stuff into the bag for storage.
I tie the bag to the bike for overnight trips.
I get many years out of them (over 5 years) before they start to fall apart.
Add a shoe lace to the bottom ring so you do not need to crawl on the floor to tie it shut on the bottom..just throw the balled shoe lace under/across bottom to other side...beats messing with the little hook elastic thing

But you are still going to get some dust if there is a lot of dust in the air.

Not sure I would use an outdoor cover inside for an extended period. Might tend to trap moisture inside.

I use the WallyWorld cover too. Works better than I expected and its breathable, so no moisture gets held on the bike. I cover mine at work since our parking lot is next to a big cooling tower. If the wind is right it gets misted the whole time it's sitting there (every vehicle does) and when the water dries it leaves behind some nasty chemicals that can trash paint if left, and a general PITA to clean up.

I highly doubt that this cover can be put on a hot scooter ... just sayin'
