Default Bike cover

Unfortunately I must park my sportster 1200 outside when not riding. So I need to find a cover. Something cheaper than those $150 hd covers but better fitting and quality then Walmart. Would like to stay under $50. Has that mini windshield.

Suggestions appreciated.

Wally Mart...under $25. And they come in 3-4 different sizes. I've had mine over a year and it's on my bike every night.

Got a Nelson Riggs from Leatherup.fits the Road King like it was custom made for it. Not stupidly priced like the Harley crap,and they have models for most Harley frame sizes. Check 'em out. Very well made.

Thanks every one. I'll check them all out. I went the Walmart route the past three seasons with another bike and the covers never fit right. Always ended up with a lot of holes and half the time the wind would blow it off. However when it stayed on it worked pretty well. Anyway I gave Nelson Riggs a call yesterday and they hung up on me while on hold. Going to try again Monday.
