Default Motorcyle Cover ?

Now that I pulled the Trigger on an 08 Road Glide with a Tourpack,I need a Cover to keep the Sun and Rain off of her. What is the Best Cover out there to keep her safe?

Best $100.00 I have spent on my ride: went to a Honda dealership and purchased a Guardian cover for a gold-wing.
Padded where the windshield touches it with a soft inner liner as well, and heat shields where the pipes might touch.
Figured who's looking to steal a Honda?

exactly, don't pour out money for something with the H-D logo.

for touring- I don't cover---- I tent camp and space is at a minimum.

sometimes I'll take my cover if i am going to be parking at a hotel, where I can't see my bike. for the most part, my cover is used as a dust cover in the garage when storing for long periods

I took a tour around the parking lot this summer when the Iron Butt Association had its annual meeting in Denver, to see what the real long distance guys were using. I figured this crowd would be interested in durability, lightweight, quick on/off, and effective at hiding all of the goodies mounted to the typical dash.

I went with these guys: http://eztouring.com/traveller.htm

When I called to order, I got to talking to them about a 2-color cover, and they custom made one for me to match the blue over black Ultra Limited I have.

Great service, great price, and not bad on the wallet, either.

... i got an extra large DuraShield from an ebay seller earlier this summer. It's well built, covers the TP & rear bags and goes way over the front wheel. Less than $50, well worth it.

I ride my bike everyday and I just wanted something to protect the dash from fading (that already started to happen) and keep the desert heat off of the seat while it was parked at work. I wasnt concerned about hiding the bike but something functional for my needs. I ended up buying a cover from http://www.skn-it.com/ and have not had any problems with it yet.
