looking for help all you out in harley land. i seen some of the feedback from i would like to hear from anybody who used a harley bubble if worth buying for $300 and if it is durable and if it uses a lot of electricy. and would you buy it again.
Yep, had one for my bike and also for my car. Nice to be able to look at the bike all season long. Doesn't use much electric.
Would I do it again?! No, It's too much trouble if you want to move the bike for some reason or another. Dust settles on the bubble. If power goes off, the bubble deflates and sets down on the bike or car (will re-inflate when power comes back on) Summer storage of the plastic bubble is a pain! Also the more you use it (inflate, deflate, fold, unfold etc ...the more it wrinkles and plastic "clouds up" .
Just my experience and opnion.. Others swear by it..

Had a friend with a bubble for his car, it worked good the first year and then the plastic hardens and it started getting air leaks till it would not stay up. He trashed it and said leasoned learned.
Bought one and sold it after about 2 month's ...... Bought another one from a supplier in England much better ..... had a facility that if there was a power cut the charger would keep it inflated untill the power came back on also had a zip at the back so as you could wash your bike put it in wet open the zip to whatever size you wanted and the air would flow through the bubble to dry the bike off ... then just zip it back up again .... in short Harley bubble to expensive and no power backup .... also after market bubble much bigger for less money
