Default Indoor Cover Velcro Flap
Hey Guys...

I have one of the older HD indoor touring models cover (has the HD logo up front but no orange) - does anyone know what the velcro opening at the back is for? It goes across the width...

I couldn't say why it's velcroed, but I'd suspect it's a condensation vent. A lot of moisture can come up through a concrete floor. You want it to escape out from under a cover.

Antennas on tour pack I think. Makes it easier to put cover on with the flap open.

Ahh, awesome - cheers guys!

I am hoping I don't suffer from too much condensation with this - its a brick garage with a concrete floor but lined with those plastic/rubber floor tiles.
