Default Need a cover

Need a cover for the bike for over night trips. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Any suggestions?

don't get one with the H-D logo- really!
get a Honda or no name cover, look for one that has a cable and crap lock to secure it to the bike.

should have some kind of heat resistant lining on the bottom ( pipes). and fold/roll up pretty small.

I don't usually bother with a cover.

long ride, stop for the night, couple of beers, wipe the bugs off...usually put something on the seat ( like a bag) cause of the dew.

I bought a cheap cover off Ebay. It's Black and Silver. I've had it three years and it still works great. It has the eyelets at the bottom for bungie cords or locks. I think Walmart has them also.

I have an E-Z Touring Traveler cover http://eztouring.com/traveller.htm

My Limited is Blue/Black and when I called to order I asked why they didn't list that color combination - the owner said if I could wait a day they'd make one custom for me. Great cover and great customer service!

Have to go with the one that Ripper mentions above. Good sturdy outdoor cover with the metallic colored, heat resistant lower liner.

Any cover you choose should also have a fabric interior liner to protect the windshield. It should also have one or more cable and lock grommets to secure the cover when you're away.

I bought one from WallyMart & covers the whole bike. It packs up in a small bag for trips & repels water. They have 3 different sizes.

I have a cover for the seat to prevent wet butt in the morning, otherwise I leave the bike uncovered. It's one less thing to carry.
