........ unlike all the thrifty/economical, 'function over form' fellow riders who've previously posted regarding the use of bedding to cover their rides, i picked up a 2nd hand CVO cover on eBay.
.... sure, it cost more than an old sheet/blanket, but it's soft, it's fitted, has a big bar & shield embroidered over the windshield & a velcro opening to let the antenna on the tour pak stick out (best feature, hands down).
......... and when it's on, my parked/stored motorcycle still looks like a million bucks. (well, maybe more like $8-9000)
...... had a sturdier, weatherproof, 3d party cover when it had to sit outside, but now i use that on the sidecar rig that's in the shipping container out back of the office.
....... i'd post a photo, but photo bucket's phkt that up

 

When I cover it which is rare at best I use a old fitted mattress sheet. The one you lay on top off. The elastic holds to the bottom of the bike like a regular bike cover. Plus it was already used by me so it's just repurposed not tossed away.

I heard covers of any kind can do more damage than good for winter storage. Atleast in a non temp controlled garage. The condensation from the temp fluctuating can cause problems. Just thought I read somewhere

 

Beat me to it. Wouldn't use anything else. Cheap. Protective. Doesn't allow condensation.

This is NOT TRUE. I bought my bike in '11. It came with the HD 100th Anniversary cover which worked fine. Because I read on here that the cover causes condensation, I left it off 3 years ago. It was an unheated storage unit. We had the coldest Winter in 30 years. 30 below, 50 mph winds. I usually put my bike on a tender for 1 day/2 weeks. When I went to put my tender on, the bike was coated with 1/4" of ice. I had to defrost it with a hair dryer. Put the cover on and no condensation.

 

Why dontcha get a "Harley Bubble"? Then post pics so we can have a good laugh!

 

got mine at Wal-Mart...cheap and it does what it should. Looks better than a old sheet hanging on a $25,000 bike....

 

or any size that covers over the top. sheets breath and are easily stored. I have used for years. When I used a outdoor cover indoors, NG, promotes rust.
