Used to use a bike cover then I noticed it was scratching the paint and chrome so I got a comforter kingsize and is the best. I have them on three bikes now. Easy to put on and off, soft and keeps bike from getting dinged up if bumped in the garage.

While traveling I use a Nelson Rigg half cover. In the garage, bought a set of flannel sheets and toss these over the bikes

Picked up the Oasis Day Cover - works great and keeps the top of the bike dry. All depends what you need it for. For me it's about protecting the bike from the weather, not from view. Plus the day cover takes up very little room and is easy to dry out.

I've got the harley indoor outdoor with eagle [ got it for christmas ] and to be honest it fills my whole saddlebag. The other thing is with the classic it grabs the sucker everywhere while im puttin it on and got a burn from the pipes touching the uninsulatied part. If I had it to do over I'd buy a cheaper one that takes up less space. I use it at work because the place is a dust pit.

From Walmart, Large touring cover, 20 bucks. Heat proof and fits in a very small bag. Keeps your bike incognito when on motel stays, and keeps the rain and dirt off. Love it.

you said the bike stays out if you are looking for something for long time use at home go with cycle shell, very expensive but great for home if you do not have a garage. my buddy has one since 2007 and it held up great so far through 3 north east winters. if you just want a good cover either dowco or guardian, i have the h-d non logo cover made by dowco
