Default Light Weight, Cheap, Indoor RG3 cover???

I would like to purchase a light weight, inexpensive RG3 or trike cover. That I could just through on when sitting in the garage. I bought a cover and it's way to heavy. Going t sell it. Just want to keep the dust off. It's black. Any suggestions?

A cheap california king top sheet would cover it.

Flannel King bed sheet would do you nicely.

A friend who works at a H-D dealership gave me a "shipping cover that they use between the factory and the dealership but I have never used it.

If a bike is sitting in a garage the biggest threat to it is people////moving around it, mice if not controlled and possibly moisture if you cover it with plastic then try to heat your garage.

I have an attached (unheated) garage where liquids have never frozen and I've had multiple bikes for decades without a sign of rust, fading or leather damage.

Left uncovered or with a fabric bed sheet works either way but the sheet will reduce or eliminate the dust.

Some folks just throw over a queen size sheet.
