Default Full dresser outdoor cover.

I’m headed out of town on a business trip and need a cheap outdoor cover that will fit over my 18 Road Glide with a tourpack. Looking to pick up one from amazon in the 20-30 dollar range but not sure what will fit with the tourpack. Hoping someone here has picked one up and can advise me, I have a nice one for home so don’t want to invest much on this one.

Thanks

I can't offer any advice on where to get a cheap one that fits, but aim for one that has a Metric brand named on the side (rather than HD). You don't want your bike stolen, especially when out of town.

The cheap ones are crap that much i can tell you HD make a good one but it will cost you plus they fit like a glove used a friend of mines a while back haven't bought one myself they come with a nice travel bag to store them away in your bags

I have an Exigent motorcycle cover which is fairly small and compact meant for touring...would have been perfect for you but their website seems to be gone...

Also I do not have any experience with any of above covers, but companies/ covers seemed to have good ratings at a reasonable price...good luck...

Dowco Guardian covers are the best. Get a "plus" model. Felt lining, breathable, tetherable, etc. One thing you really want to watch for is the weather. Last thing you want is a parchute attached to your bike in a storm. Saw a load of Ducatis trashed after a multistrada got picked up by the winds and pull over 8 other bikes at the first GP in Indianapolis.

I bought a Nazuri cover from Amazon for about $50 before I cleared out space in my garage for my RKS. Fits well, elastic bottom with 2 clips under that you can tighten down also to prevent it from coming off. Has grommets for cable lock as well, if you wanted. No lining though, but pretty thick and did its job. There was no rain her at that time, but living a mile from the beach, we get pretty thick fog and marine layer all the time- and never had any moisture seep through- bike was always dry when I took the cover off in the morning.


It also has a huge crotch rocket logo on the side. I got specifically because of the advice I saw like this. Not sure if it deterred anyone, but bike never got stolen!
