Assuming you are looking for a cover to use for inside winter storage.. one that has soft cotton lining and that will breath and also work with the duel antenna's... Why not just get the Harley cover made for the classic and ultra? I just found one on ebay for 70.00 used for one season... New cost is about 130.00 but at least ya know it will fit and has the velcro openings for the antenna's! Outside storage covers can be found for alot less but are light and can be easily stuffed in the tour pac..

I use a solid black fitted sheet to cover mine. $14.00 bucks from Target and looks custom.[:-]

Nice! I could use one of these to house mywifes mother.. How about the antenna's, do they have to be removed? Got a price in mind?

Mines not the touring model...its the standard and it will fit Sportys and heritages and a few more. If you by the touring size one you would have to unscrew your antenas. That said it take a 75# snow load and stays dry in the wet weather. I want $225. for mine. I kept my C50 Suzuki in it but I have bought a 8 X 16 Shed so the the Electra Glide comes in a few weeks it will have a home. NowI would sell it you but I am in Massachustts.

That velcro will scratch your tour pack and HD cover is rough. Don't ask me how I know just take my word for it. Just get the nelson-rigg and remove your antennas and you are good to go and no holes to let in the dust and lightweight enough to wash when it gets dirty

Just about everything you do seems to scratch the bike.. Just lookin at it will scratch it... Guess I'll be getting a couple of beach towels, poke holes through it for the antenna before I put the cover on..
Had a Nelson Riggs for a bike once.. Was more of an outdoor type cover... I needed something a little heavier this time around.

Thanks for telling me about the velcro.. I'll watch out for that..

I did the fitted bed sheet for garage storage as well. A sharp knife is all I need to customize it with antenna slits.

I use "hospital" flannel bed sheets - don't know where I got them but they work great!

What about covers for outside use. Somebody showed me a Gorilla cover in ebay.

I'll be going to a few rallies in the next few weeks, so I'm looking to protect the bike overnight.
