Default Winter indoor cover

Hi everyone,

Got a winter cover question. I bought a Electra Glide Classic early this fall and now in Michigan the riding days are numbered. Just wondering what your using for a winter cover. Storing inside a unheated garage, I use the HD indoor polyester dust cover on my RKC but the Electra has a faring and tour pac. A lot of paint for a cover to lay on. I've looked around and I'm down the Harley storage covers, I know there is less expensive covers but I like the cover for my RKC. So which one? 93100018 dust cover or 93100020 cotton cover that has the liner inside. I have an single antenna on the tour pac so according to what I've read both will work.
Your opinions
Thanks

+1 on the bedsheet.

Easy on, easy off when you want to ride.

sheet

make sure the now invisible bike is protected from people moving nearby with snow shovels etc.

put up a physical barrier, even a sheet of ply wood.

I usually cover my front fender with a thick pad

I have used a microfiber coach cover, they come in different sizes and are gathered at the ends. Works nice.

100% Cotton sheets work great. Not the "Sateen" stuff.
I used to cover my Corvette with a set of California King size sheets. The fitted sheet fit around the nose perfectly and hooked around the mirrors snug. The flat sheet covered everything else, draping down to the floor and easy to get in the vehicle if needed.
Check out the "Bubble" cover available with the "Highway Mat" for the floor. Stays inflated with filtered air. Call 'em over and impress your friends!
