Default Outdoor cover

Looking for suggestions on a quality cover for a 2019 Street Glide. I have to leave mine outside during riding season due to not having garage. Looking for one that is waterproof, if possible.

thanks,

Most are waterproof but I would definitely get the largest one possible (makes it soooo much easier to cover) and one that is rated for installing while engine is hot!
And if you have a trunk you will definitely need largest available.
Definitely don't go cheap.
Definitely get what ya pay for in a good cover.

I agree with Gary, but I did find that if you get one with a so called blanket or some sort of fleece liner they hold moister in under the cover and do not breathe well, hence condersation on the bike.

Mine doesn't have a fleece or blanket and have had no issues in this very humid Louisiana weather.

I have always gave mine several minutes to cool as I still don't trust material on the very hot exhaust although it did state good for hot motorcycle. Temp on exhaust although still hot is much cooler in just 3 minutes.

I am going to look and see if I can find what I have and or a picture.


J&P Part #: 940-125
Mfr Part #: DE-400-05-XXSelect a Size:M - $71.96L - $76.46XL - $80.962XL - $89.96

JP has several and I have had the one cheaper than this one for just as long but seldom take it off one of my shovel chops.

The problem with the bike cover Is that when it’s a little bit breezy the cover tends to rub against your paint.

Not sure I'd buy the HD branded cover....it's nice but do you really want to "advertise" there's a Harley under the cover with those big orange "HARLEY DAVIDSON" letters on the outside??

Are you looking for a cover to take with or are you wanting something to store the bike while at home, like one of these?
