Default RE: Sweating

Bike sweat. I have a deodorant that works well on large men. Do you want the name.
Is your bike a boy or a girl ?

My bikes have sweated for years and never had a problem with anything other than cosmetic.As you find rust,take care of it in the warm weather.Just don't lose any sleep over it.

Same here...
I cover my bike at night, uncover it in AM so it dries. If it is raining.....
well......'wet is wet')
I go over it with detail spray every couple of days....and watch the chrome
and hit it with cleaner when it needs it.
I don't know about the suggestion of the Harley "blow-up" ball........humidity
in abubble will still rust.
The light bulb under a cover may provide some relief?
So far, I haven't worried too much.
