Default Covers

I wanted to know if anyone can give me an idea on a cover for my bike. I primarily keep it in front of my townhouse. I'm working on a single family right now. Until then what can I use to shieldher from the elements.

Dowco makes some good covers including those for H-D. You can get an ultralite cover for $45

That cover will protect me from rain and other forms of abuse.

It'll protect you from rain with the occasional application of the tent waterproofing spray, but its not padded or anything. The H-D cover for $119 will be thicker and a more exact fit.

I am in same situation Sam.. I use a Dowco Guardian and it works great right out in front of my condo. Only drawback is when installing/removing, the bottom edge/aluminized panels scratched my tank and fenders. Scratches came out with wax, but just an FYI to be very careful.

Thanks, I was looking on the Dowco website and I am going today to purchase the Guardian Plus cover.

Also Swomack, how did you get the fairing pouches to work with the shorty windshield?

Waterproof and soft underneath is what many recommend... oh, and with a Honda logo so your scoot doesn't get stolen

These guys have great covers for cars and bikes. You can get everything from an indoor cover to max protection covers for outside. Very paint friendly too. Just click on motorcycle covers in middle of page.

Get a Bike Barn. It will do a far better job than any cover.
