Motorcycle cover recommendations
What would you recommend for a motorcycle cover for a 2003 Electra Glide Classic? I'm looking for something along the lines of the Harley Oasis Day cover http://www.harley-davidson.com/store/oasis-day-cover
Mainly looking for something I can put on the bike while I'm at work and overnight at home, as I don't have a garage :-(

I have this in the XL for my 2014 FLHX
Wrote a review and added a photo as well. Very happy with the cover after many months of winter abuse. Still looks new.

Why not just get the Oasis? I have one and really like it.
I've had Dawco in the past, good covers, both full and half...but I like the Oasis a lot better, not sure what it's made of but very soft and easy storage, I keep it in the trunk until I need it...work third shift and covers my Ultra at work...well worth it.

I had a small cover like that and whatever is exposed to the elements will degrade faster. A full cover leaving nothing exposed is far better IMHO. I know it is easy for me to say since I'm not the one paying for it. Consider covering everything; you'll be glade you did, the bike will last far longer, and "out of sight, out of mind" during the day and the night to help keep the honest people honest.

the Formosa heavy duty cover is real good. I use it all the time I don't have a garage either.

i have something that was with my Sporty when I bought that...not sure what it is, but it's large, lined, and has heat shield on the lowers. Probably keep the for the Glide when I sell the Sporty. Bought the Oasis for an upcoming trip. It goes on easy and does fold up somewhat small. Plan to take that and cover on overnight stays. Only thing I don't care for is the Harley all over it. Just make sure whatever you get has some form of heat protection on the lowers and that it covers the bike the way YOU want. I would rather have it covered and protected than sit there and look good!!
