Cover or no cover
Sadly it's coming to the end of the riding season for me and I'm about to put it away in the big shed. I plan on filling it up and adding Sta-Bil and I'm also going to pull the battery as I don't trust the battery tender. Should I cover the bike with HD cover or just thow a sheet over it or go with no cover at all?

It covers my entire Nightrain except about half of the front wheel.

When mine's in the garage I throw a king size cotton fitted sheet over it.Cotton lets air circulate so there's no condensation and it's gentle on the bikes paint and chrome.Cheap option,and reminds me of all the fun I had on top of the sheets....

I use a cover just because it was given to me. If I didn't have it , I would just use sheets . I have to keep mine covered while not riding , lots of cats just waiting to sharpen their claws on my backrest.

RE: Cover or no cover
Have heard the arguement that covers tend to trap moisture underneath. If you do go with one, an old car trick is to put a bar of Irish Spring soap underneath to keep the mice out. Learned the hard way. [:@]
