Default Outdoor Cover that doesn't touch the ground

I'm looking for a good quality outdoor cover that would fit an Electra Glide Standard snuggly without touching the ground. Any recommendations? Preferably one with a zipper, if possible, thanks.

Look at skn-it.com I bought one from them for my Street Glide and really like it. Maybe a little pricy, but it's a real nice cover.

I have a Guardian cover that I had for a Suzuki Blvd C90 that fits my FLHR, would fit almost any cruiser. Good product without breaking the bank. It has heavy elastic all the way around the bottom so it hugs the bike and never touches the ground. It also has that silver ironing board material all the way around where it comes in contact with engine cases and pipes.

I have had it since '06, cost around $175.00 then.

I use the HD Oasis day cover. It packs down to the size of a football, is light, and works great. You can have one shipped to you from LSHD1.com for about $90.



And Glocky....I guess I am a rub.

Thanks guys, basically I'm wondering if there is one that fits the Electra Glide models well without the tour pack installed. Dowco Guardian, etc says to use the same one as for tour pack models but those covers can have too much extra space towards the rear when a tour pack is not on the bike, therefore the extra material can be touching the ground.
