Default Outside cover

So I'm really trying to figure out this cover thing. Before anyone responds with the whole investment speech, I'm telling you know I can't afford the $160 covers for our bike. So with that being said. What's everyone using for an outdoor cover?.... A garage doesn't count... HA! Looking for an economical option under $50

Use the Dowco site to figure out which one you want then google it - you find the better deal that way. Last time I got one was a couple years ago but kneedaggers.com had the best deal then.

I've had a couple of the Dowco covers and they hold up good. I like the guardian plus - has a zipper on the back which makes it real easy on/off.
