Default Bike cover for 48

Hey guys, looking for a cover for my 48. Everyone I've looked at on amazon (using their "will it fit my bike" tool) says it won't fit. Harley sells one for $140. Little pricey!

I purchased the $140 HD cover from the stealer with a gc I got with the deal I made when I bought my 1200 Custom last year. It's a nice cover has a belly strap and cinches at both the front and back with drawstrings. It also has lining up front for windshields etc. and additional lining for warm pipes. Unfortunately it was stolen off the bike. A buddy who rides sport bikes gave me a Guardian WeatherAll Cover by Dowco that I'm using now. It also has a belly strap but has elastic at front and back. It's a size Medium and fits great with or without my detachable windshield and sissybar. Check them out on the web...they run about $80-$90. It's not as thick of material and doesn't have the reflective piping but a great fitting cheaper alternative that has kept my bike dry and a little less dirty. It's actually quicker to put on because you don't have to cinch 3 different areas due to the elastic front and rear around the tires. I'll probably purchase one of these if I have to buy another.

we got ours from walmart, for $20.. they are lite and come with a stuff sack.. the cover does keep the bike protected from the elements for the most part, we used our when there was a down poor and the bikes get a little wet, but for mot the most part they stayed dry

Take a look at a Cyclegear store if they have one in your area.
