My garage is actually a condo garage so it has open doors at each end. My spots are on the back row though, which is off the main entrance row, so it is somewhat protected but still pretty much open so that is why I need a condo that is both indoor and outdoor at the same time, if that makes sense.
It absolutely makes sense...
I would add then, to be aware if the cover will be affected by wind... If so, you want a snug fitting cover... A loose, flapping cover WILL put swirl marks and scratches in your paint...
Good luck..

I picked up a nice lifetime warranty cover form Car Covers Factory. Paid $95.00 w/free shipping. http://www.carcoversfactory.com/ I am not affiliated with them in any way, just a pleased customer.

How are ya,
I've had the Harley cover, what do you like about the Sealskin? They look nice but don't know much about them. I'm in need of a good outdoor cover for the Florida climate and narrowed it down to these 2. (HD and Sealskin)
Open for suggestions.
Thx

The cover is heavy duty, with straps and eyelets. When ordering the menu is specific on your bike make and model (i.e. SGS) My cover fits perfect. Just Fits in the side bag. The shipping was fast with no problem with returns. I contacted them thru their chat line so I could also narrow my choice. Very professional and up front on where it is made. I work at LAX, off shore wind at times but do not need straps ( great fit) the other light cover blow away.lol. hope that helps and enjoy the ride.

Dowco covers are top notch. The ultralite plus is only $55. I had 2 sportbikes before my harley. Had one ultralite and one ultralite plus. The plus is lined so it can breathe better and has a couple other features. The plus is certainly worth it. I've had one for my harley on the wishlist since I bought it in 2018. Maybe Santa will be good to me this year.

My Ultra limited sits in a machine shed through the winter in Iowa and since I had one of those little furry guys get in and do some minor damage last year I went for something a little different and got a cover from "Zerust.com" ($139.00) Claims to have a rust prevention additive in the inner material so keeps everything dry. I also asked about durability (rodent entry) and they said they've never heard of an issue.
Looks a little strange when you take it out of the bag but you lay it out on the floor, roll your bike onto it, work the top portion over the top of he bike and zip it up around the bottom and pretty much seals the bike in a bag.

"The anti-rust vapors will remain active for five (5) years from the date of purchase."
I'm not sure I would like the idea of "vapors" trapped in a bag with my bike... I couldn't find what these vapors are, what they affect, or how they reduce moisture in a sealed environment..
Have you stored you bike in it for a period of time yet...?
Did you find a film on your paint/chrome/leather when you checked on the bike??
Did you find any signs of moisture trapped in the sealed cover...??
I like the idea of a complete enclosure, but I would rather have one that's vented, with no "vapors"...
I had to park my Heritage outside for a year... I bought an enclosed cover with a collapsable top...
I can't find the name of it, but a quick search showed this one... Mine was very similar, but had a built in floor too.. It had vlcro to keep it sealed and had vents high up on the top

Does anybody know if the sealskin covers have a provision for the tour pack mounted antennas? I have a pretty heavy canvas type material cover from Wally World, but it doesnt have a spot to feed the antenna through it. I dont really like laying the antenna over to cover the bike.
