I used not care so much, gold wings are mostly plastic, but with this bike I put a dehum in the garage(Close to the bike) along with a small work light encased metal grid under the motor with a timer for about 3:30 to 10:00 am, both plugged into the same extention on a timer with a cover, grossly over waxed and polished everything!!! I do not want spots or rust while I am away.
The cover is fire proof just in case and I am not there to see but I think I am safe as far as condensation. I have seen the harley bubble but thought, Really??? 300 beans!!! I bought a 20 dollar light I had the goldie cover and I had a dehumidifier that will act like a fan that close. With the wax, light for heat, and dehum, it was about 90 dollars. I want this machine to look as new as I got it the day I got it, even if I am only home twice a year to ride her!!!!

The concrete is the problem. It is a sponge for moisture. I have a three car garage and have covered all three stalls with large rubber mats. Works great and keeps the moisture from rising up from the concrete. You can get these mats from Griots or other automotive type suppliers. This is better than an epoxy floor as far as I am concerned.
