Default Motorcycle Storage Bag

Anyone use a product like this or similar? Just wondering how it has worked for you. Does it keep the moisture out?

I've seen them called the jacket as well.

I haven't..., but I'd think that you'd want to put a dessicant in there with it if you mean to store it a while in there. Perhaps also treat the leather and drain the gas.

Are you thinking of just using it as a dust cover or for long term storage?

Not sure how that works but have you seen the Harley Bubble? It's a lot more money but a pretty cool concept:

Never used one, but interesting. I never close my garage (long story).
Would a small light bulb work to keep moisture out?

Hummm I seem to remember there's a fabric that absorbs moisture.......oh It's called a Sham Wow. It absorbs moisture right out of the air. I would try that and see how that does.

They sell dessicant pouches at boat US. i used to use them for boat storage and they kept mildew at a good minimum.

The manufacturer recommends putting desicant in there to absorb the moisture. Long term storage about 5 months. Winter is coming. Risk of frost here tonight. Harley bubble looks interesting as well.

I've seen one that works like a tent where it's like its own mini garage. I have a buddy who uses one in his garage to keep particles from getting on his bike. It doesn't breathe so as mentioned by others you'd definitely want to put something in there to absorb moister.

This is the one my friend has. I like it cause the bag never touches the bike
