RE: Recommendations for Harley bubble
ORIGINAL: stratplexi
Let me clear up some confusion....cold temps do not cause moisture and neither do warm temps. Your best bet is to keep air flowing accross the bike so condensation cannot form. This is the theory behind the bubble. For most, a cold bike in a cold garage becomes a problem when either someone pulls in a car and warm air from the engine mixes with the cold air and caused condensation OR the outside air temp goes up faster than the garage ambient temp and the warm air touches the cold metal and causes condensation.
I have used the bubble for years in an unheated garage and have no corrosion or problems with chrome. The bike looks shiny in the spring just like it was when I put it away.
