Dehumidifier or bike bubble, mine suffers bad if I don't use the bubble

+1 on the sheets, they allow plenty of air flow but keep the dirt and pets off. Mine has been in the garage the last 2 winters in the NC mountains and I have never seen any moisture on it. My garage stays between 45-50 even when it's 15 outside; I'm guessing this helps since the bike does not suffer huge temp swings.

I hate Winter. I am so ready for Spring. Condensation is a bummer. I just had to go look today it warmed up to 45. If it wasn't pouring down rain I would have gone for a ride. If I was single man my ride would be in the house. Like it was when we first started dating.

use a king size sheet, tried to get it in the house but it's a little bit to wide to fit through the door

I live in Ohio, I store my toys in a garage sided with T 111. This summer I stained the outside of my garage, and painted the inside walls. I also painted the cement floor with waterproof paint. The paint with additional vents, has really cut down on the condensation I have.
Maybe I have just been lucky so far this year, but I have seen little or no condensation
on my toys.

I hate to burst your bubble, but Winter just officially started a few days ago. I look at New Years Day being a hurdle myself to think "positive" as the days heading towards it are the beginning of Winter and the days after New Years Day are heading us all towards Spring.

I leave the cover off and use a small fan to blow air across the bike. I aim it mainly at the motor. So far it has stayed dry as a bone.

Bingo!

When I had show trucks and nice cars, they were kept in one of those vynl coverup garages and a sad excuse for a garage. Heck, rain water ran under the thing! But... when I added a house fan and left it running 24/7, kept the moisture at bay. Perfect? No. Better? Indeed.

The 25 watt light bulb works well with the harley cover if you leave it on cheap too!
