lol.... I use an old, worn out king size fitted sheet. works great for keeping the dust off, and it lets the bike breathe. of course, I keep 'her' in the garage.

What type of cover do you want? Indoor or outdoor? Long term storage, overnight on trips, parking during the day (like at work)?
Several options out there. A old bed sheet works good in the garage.

At home, I have some flannel bed sheets. On the road, i take a Nelson Riggs half cover, about 40 bucks if I remember correctly. If its a cover your keeping on for a while, make sure its breathable or your gonna have some problems

I ended up looking on Ebay and found my covers, both HD covers and not that it makes a difference. I was looking for a soft cloth cover for indoors and one I bought for $25....the one for the bag was $50

+1 on the Nelson Riggs half cover. It's great for overnighters, compact. In the garage for over winter, it's a bedsheet.

Smile Cover

The kind of cover you buy is determined by where you're going to use it.
Indoor, outdoor, on the road, strictly at home.......
My wife gave me a new HD cover for my BDay (THANKS AGAIN HON!) and when I took it out of the package, I couldn't help but notice it was made by DOWCO.
Save yourself a few $$$$, don't buy the HD cover.
The price difference doesn't justify just adding an HD logo to the front of it.
