The best indoor cover is 100% cotton with a flannel nap on the inside. Harley sell 'em for $129, you can get the same thing from California Car Cover ( www.calcarcover.com ) for $99.

I use three #250 heat lamps to keep my 16x16 bike shed dry & above 50 no matter how cold it gets outside. I did a pretty good insulation job.

I have my (heat lamp bulbs) screwed into a metal reflector & they hang from the ceiling. No more at risk then you would be with any light bulb provided you use common sense.

While we're on the subject of covers, here's one for you guys that use them. If you buy a good cover with the heat resistant bottom section, can it be put on the bike as soon as you get off of it? I've never used a cover before, but I may be in a position to have to ride mine and leave it outdoors in a parking lot. Do you have to wait for it to cool down?

I have 2 HD inside covers, and a cheapo for 2-wheel world. They all seem to work fine, so one from Walmart should be OK, unless you want the bar&shield or Eagle logo on it.
