Default Just a simple cover please!
Wow has the world gone nuts when it comes to motorcycle covers. All I want is just a simple 100% cotton cover for under fifty bucks. No shiny silver plastic crap, no douchetech-ultra-super-duper fabrics, no logos, no stupid colors or patterns, hell I don't even care if it has an elastic bottom and no, I don't want to use bed sheets. Just a black/tan/gray/blue, lightweight dust cover for use in an enclosed garage on a Softail Deluxe with no windshield, bags, or sissy bar.

Got a link to purchase something? Hit me up in this thread. Thanks in advance.

No thanks, I'd prefer something a little more tailored than a blanket or sheets.

Is it so difficult to answer the question asked? Someone must know of a simple cotton cover.

Dude, we're telling you that no one makes a simple cover like you want. At least none that I've seen, good luck with the search

Dura shield makes a simple cotton one for about $25 SHIPPED. I've had mine for 4 years and works great. It's grey and has elastic on bottom and will fit my heritage with windshield, bags etc.

I ordered a cover from jafrums.com. That's what I use under my car port.

Go to your local dealer and see if they will give you one of the dust covers off a new bike. I work at my local dealer on saturdays. I always uncrate and PDI new bikes. They just go in the trash.
