Default Good Motorcycle cover

I'm planning on taking my FLHX with me on vacation this year. So she'll spend the week outside (no garage or anyplace I could even make her fit inside) on a dirt driveway, heavily wooded. Would prefer she not get completely crapped all over. Can someone recommend a good quality outdoor cover that will fit well? If it was just this one trip I might just go with a tarp or something but, I'm also planning a 9 day trip next year, so she'll be out in a lot of parking lots overnight. So something that can pack small, be durable and last decent would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Covermax Deluxe in XL works great for me. I think I paid under $50 shipped on ebay.

Check out Exigent covers. Very lightweight & work great.

I have a Dowco that is great but is a bit bulky and heavy. If you only need one for a week get a cheap one at Wally World.

Wal-Mart and Menards here both sell generic covers (have straps, etc). Cheap and roll up pretty thin. Have used this last one for two years and no problems. DON'T get that says "Harley" on it: makes it way too easy for the thieves. My next cover will say "Honda" on it !!

I have a Nelson Riggs in X large, maybe XX and it will cover any bagger. Think I paid about $45.00. Waterproof and has vents that keep condensation from building up.

On trips were I have to leave my bike outside I just use one of my wife's king size cotton sheets. It's good at absorbing moisture at night plus it breaths.

I have the H-D cover but opted not to go with the Bar and Shield logo. I already it's a Harley under the cover and that's all that matters. Stows well in the hardbag and good snug fit so the wind doesn't blow it around too much.

"Indoor/Outdoor Motorcycle Cover without Eagle Logo


Our most versatile covers, these all-weather, indoor/outdoor covers are made of a tough, lightweight 300 denier, fade resistant polyester. The urethane-coated material and double stitched seams provide excellent strength and water resistance. Venting system allows for breathability and accommodates longer-term storage. Exhaust heat shield panel(s) protect the covers from hot exhaust systems. Additional features include a protective windshield liner (for SoftailŽ/VRSC™ and Touring versions), securing strap, elastic edges, and a convenient storage pouch. Touring versions come with hook-and-loop secured openings to accommodate dual antennas.

#98722-90C


Fits Touring models (except Trike)."

I have a TourMaster cover that I have been very happy with. I think I paid about $40 for it.
