Question Who, besides HD?

Who, besides HD has good cover for the Ultra that has a feature for the whip antenna's? Here in NM I will ride pretty much year round , so need a good sturdy coever for nights and some bad days at work.

I use the Nelson-Riggs. No holes for the antennae but works good.

Check ebay for covers. There's a company based in MN that sells them. I have one for the RK without the antenna hole - good stuff for the $$$

I bought a cover at WalMart that was real inexpensive and simply cut two small holes for the antennae. Works great and the holes make it easier to put on. I used it on road trips and in my garage for 2 years.

Got mine a Walmart also. Just bend the antennae forwards and tuck it under the passenger backrest.

Yep, just get you a cover and cut holes in it. It you want to get fancy, you can either put an iron patch on the inside to re-enforce the holes or use plastic two-piece grommets.

Bought a Nelson Rigg cover and cut a "T" in the back and had my sewing sister sew in some ribbing. Then I lined the iside with Velcro. Works great, just put the front on and pull the back flaps around the tour pak and connect the velcro. I don't have to mess with bending the whips. I'll take some pics if you need to see it.

I would like to see that/ I 've been using one from Walmart since June, that I did cut two holes in. I would like to see some better ideas than my 100 mile per hour tape.

Check out the Dowco cover- I've had the same one for years. I put it on in the severe winter and whenever I'm out of town on trips. I have no markings on it- I figured if someone sees an H-D logo they'll be tempted to steal the bike. It fits very well, has a heat proof section, and has worn like iron. Keeps the bike dry in downpours.

Here's a web site:
