Lately it seems that my bike is becoming dusty before dirty due to my busy schedule.. Which cover is recomended for indoor use, id prefer antenna openings.

Hard to beat a cotton bed sheet. For price or performance.

There isn't a 'cover' that will completely eliminate the dust IMO. If it's really an issue - and you have the room, look into the shelters. I've looked at these but no personal experience: www.mdmshelters.com

20$ Cheapy from Wal-mart. I use it on all my trips and it has lasted 3-4 years now. I just unscrew the antennas and lay them along side the right saddlebag and seat. It takes like 30 seconds tops to unscrew them. I've always wondered why more people don't do that and forget about the holes.

Harley has a cotton cover. Be sure not to use anything that will be abrasive. The wind, if stored outside or in a barn, will cause your cover to rub and ruin your paint.

+1 on that. I'm in the same boat with more work than play and I have a black bike so I can just stand there and watch the dust collect on it. Here's what I do, and it works awesome. Shhhhhhhhh, it's a secret I use Pledge on every painted part on the bike (and other parts) and when I get ready to ride I just hook the air nozzle on the compressor and blow it off. Bike looks like I just washed it!

Unless you buy a bubble, it's going to get dusty. Try Pledge, it really does work.

I can blow it off, I just hate seeing it dirty in my garge as I walk by it...poor bike.

Figured the cover would also prevent my 3yr old from getting it fingerprinted
