Default Bike Cover ??

I'm looking for any feedback from guys that have this "half cover"

https://www.harley-davidson.com/store/oasis-day-cover

Or a different brand half cover etc. I'm looking for a cover to carry with me when the bike sits outside over night. I'm struggling with buying a half cover and wishing I bought a whole cover.
ANY FEED BACK, will be welcomed

Save your money and get a Nelson Riggs, preferably waterproof and breathable.

Are you using Nelson-Rigg UV-2000 or a different one? If so, are you happy with the "half" cover Nobody???

I'm using the HD Oasis half cover and am very happy with it. Two other guys I ride with also have the cover and are happy with it. It folds up small and compact, fits the bike well, and works great for what its designed to do.

I’ve used the HD half cover on a couple trips. Keeps the seat dry from condensation and a good rain. Light weight. Stuffs up easily into its own bag to about the size of a loaf of bread. May be better out there for less, I didn’t do the homework, just bought the HD. I knew it’d just work.

If you are into HARLEY BRANDED equipment, then I would say that is the way to go. There are other covers out there... but lets face it.... You ride a harley and you want it look that way even when its covered.

As far as having more room in your bags the half cover is the way to go... even if it only saves enough space for a spare pair of socks or whitey tighties... those spare briefs might be needed at some point.

I have the Oasis. Works great. If you go with another manufacturer, make sure there is a way to pass the antennas through the cover if needed.

I don't have a half cover but a full sized one that completely covers a touring bike with fairing and TP down to the axles. Paid less than $100 for it years ago and works great. My needs are different and I want my bikes protected but do NOT want to draw attention to them while I am travelling and in a hotel room at night. Point is I didn't spend HD money to do what something that cost much less would accomplish. I did however on a whim pick up a HD waterproof seat cover that very nicely does the job.

I bought a cheap (but actually very nice) nylon cover off eBay for about $20. I use it in my garage to cover my 15' Ultra Limited. It's extra large with shock cord fasteners at the bottom and has two air vents for moisture evaporation. I do have to unscrew the two antennas, but that isn't a big deal at all. It packs down into a little drawstring bag when I travel. I'll admit that it's just a cheap cover but actually does a great job of dirt and dust protection in the garage and on an occasional trip. Personally, I would not buy a HD branded cover for travel.....why "advertise" what's underneath while it's parked overnight at a hotel?.....lol, IF I could roll it into my hotel room I would!
