Harley Covers?
Ok the bikes on order - Have had the shed delivered - Have insulated the shed (its 18ftx12ft) - Will get a small heater to take the chill out of the unit - Howver was thinking of buying maybe a cover / Baloon of some sort as the kids also use the shed and I want to keep them off the bike and also keep the bike free from dust / etc - What is the best product out there as the selection in Ireland is ***** to be honest - I feell if I am gfoing to spend 28k on a bike I wanna spend a little to ensure she always looks the dogs bollox.

If you're gonna use a heater, like a space heater, don't cover the bike. You'll wind up with too much moisture that will get trapped under the cover.
Best solution of kids climbing on the bike is knowing the consequences of doing so. And that all boils down to what's more important to you.

I've seen them advertised. Not cheap. I'd suggest doing a search. I'd cover it with a cloth even in the bubble.

Have used Guardian covers for years...good quality and most have some type of air vent to help with the moisture.

Nelson Rigg DC-500 Cotton Cover in XXL. I use them on both bikes. Easy on/off & breaths. The XL is too small & the XXL is really large but is the better fit. It will touch the floor completely around the bike to keep the dust out even with a windshield & bags. About 39.00.

If it's cold enough to freeze, the bike will freeze and then seep moisture everytime you warm it up.
I put plastic on the floor to keep the moisture from coming up from the floor and then I just drape some plastice over it to try to keep the dust off it. Don't seal it tight or it won't breathe.
If I had that kind of money in my bike, I'd buy a bubble with a fan. Expecially if you want to warm the shed up once in a while to work on things.
My bike is a 99 and it still looks pretty damn close to new.
