Cover with Apes?

for those of you with apes. what do you do about putting a cover on your bike? does harley make one that's big enough to allow for the apes? do you cut holes in it? or am i screwed and i just have to go without all together?

Harley Makes one, I used one on my bike when I was deployed last. Just have to ask them which one when buying it.

I got an extra large one as well. Works well with the 16"'s.

I picked up a Guardian cover by Dowco at my local Honda Dealer. It is for a full dresser with venting for circulation and a soft padding for fairing glass. It also has heat resistant material for the pipes. And it is waterproof.

I went this way for a few reasons.
#1 HD's pricing is whacked. I picked the Guardian up for around $100.00 and I haven't seen a better quality one.
#2 I do sometimes have a windshield on for the hwy and figured it would be when I was away from home that I would need the cover. It covers the bike very well with the fairing on so I know it can handle apes.
#3 I figured using a non-HD cover would attract less attention to the bike. Afterall I've had a slew of metrics and no one ever attempted to steal one!
