Default 2020 Tri Glide Ultra cover?

I see Harley sells a cover for the Tri Glide with and without the Harley branding, Still the unbranded item is still a bit on the expensive side, I don't mind spending the money if it's a quality part worth the $185. http://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en...ver/p/93100027

Other on line stores sell something similar : http://www.motorcycleid.com/nelson-r...&url=139468391

I need an indoor/outdoor cover that will hold up to the sun and heat. If you use a cover what brand and would you recommend?

I’ve got the Harley branded cover but typically only use it in the garage during winter storage and at night time during travels.
It comes with an integrated storage bag and pockets for a cover alarm.

I’m very pleased with the cover.

The picture below on the trailer is from last night while we were at a hotel.
The cover has to come off when going down the road.

One thing I’ve found with Harley branded items is yes they are tad pricey but they are typically always higher quality.
I’m not sure who makes the Harley branded cover however Nelson Riggs products are well thought of so the cover in your post probably would be just fine.

I will say I picked up my cover used for $60 so it was a no-brainer purchase.

If I was going to have the cover exposed to sunlight a lot I certainly would get the plain one.
I suspect it wouldn’t take too much sunlight to fade all the colors.

Lastly; as for the alarm, the one I linked to on Amazon is the same one sold by Harley but only cheaper.
It sits in the cover pocket and then tethers to the bike.

If attempts are made to remove the cover the tether unplugs thus sounding the alarm.
The alarm is pretty loud.

I use Nelson Riggs myself.
Both my cover and rain gear.
Have always been happy with them.

Bought this several years ago for when I travel. It was from Amazon, but I don't remember the price. I am happy with the cover but it is a bear to get back in the bag, I ended up tearing the zipper on the bag. Still it covers well.

After my Wife decided she preferred the ride of our Freewheeler more than our Heritage I had to get another trailer as our enclosed “Iron Horse” trailer was too narrow for the Freewheeler.
I kinda like taking the Freewheeler as well as even though she’s a bit shaky on it she can drive it if needed. She can’t handle the Heritage.

Even though our tow vehicle is rated at 3500 lbs. I didn’t want to press it so I decided to go with an open trailer to keep the weight down.
I searched for about a year for a fair priced Aluma trailer but just never could find one that I thought was worth the money they were asking.

Then I came across the Yacht Club MC22 that is a well built trailer that weighs in at 800 lbs. for $1600 so I pulled the trigger on it.
The previously owner had it setup for 2 dressers and a sportster.

I added some additional tie downs for a trike, LED lights, an old ammo can for straps and a 24X24X36 “Buyers” waterproof box for gear.
We are currently on vacation with it for the first time and so far it’s worked out great.

I got a HaulMark low profile dual axle enclosed trailer with my Tri Glide as a package deal.
I like it almost as much as I do the trike.
