Default Bike cover - 14" apes

I've seen a couple threads on this, but I still have questions.

Many people recommend the one for apes from http://www.exigentbikecovers.com/bikecovers.htm, but the site says their covers are not for indoor use.

Some people say they got one from Walmart, but there are no links to a specific cover.

Is anyone using this one? http://www.walmart.com/ip/ADCO-Trave...Large/10913506

Any other specific suggestions welcome! (yep, I'm aware of the blanket/sheet option)

Yep, I use the one from Walmart. It has worked fine every time I have needed it. I don't use it inside anymore though. Last year I saw a last year I saw a little oxidation on my engine fins and decided that the cover might be causing it because it doens't breath. Not really sure but I quit using it inside. Works greaat outdoors though and the price is awesome. Doesn't say Harley on it but It also doesn't advertise whats underneath when we stay at hotels

I bought the Harley indoor one, it fits fine with the apes, windshield and other crap attached to the bike. However, like bellgnte found, inside they seem to trap moisture underneath so I stopped covering it in my unheated and leaky garage.

I had a Heritage Classic with 14" apes. I also bought the HD one for indoor. Fit fine and used it all the time in garage. No complaints. Still using it on the RK. 8-9 yrs old paid $75
