Way cool. I once took off with my bike on the trailer and happened to notice in my rear view I still had my Nelson Riggs cover on. Not cool. Nice cover but not meant for trailering and it was an oversight on my part. I like that and will bookmark that site. Thanks!!!!

 

Walmart. $35 Works great. If you have an Ultra, the shorty antennas will just bend over and under the luggage rack.

I bought a thin $20.00 cover off ebay. Breathes well, keeps the dust off, and fits into my saddlebag with room to spare.

 

I have the HD indoor version. It fits great, and I keep it on when the bike is quite clean. If it is not, I don't cover. There is no need to rub around the dirt and scratch the paint.

As for the comment/question someone had earlier about your garage being dusty, I see that as irrelevant. My garage has an four stage epoxy floor, and is dressed out with 5.1 surround, flat screen, etc. In other words, it is antiseptically clean, probably cleaner than many people's houses. If you are OCD like me, have at it. Do what makes you happy.

 

I keep my bikes in my garage here in Fl. That said, Florida is home to high humidity and salt which reeks havoc on the chrome.
I keep the older scoot which I don't ride as often, covered with a very inexpensive cover purchased from WalMart for $25. Even with that, I still have to wash it every month to keep it in check. I know no other way to keep it from corroding shy of one of the expensive bubbles mentioned earlier or a climate controlled facility, which can be expensive too.
I look at it this way, I spent a s^*t load of money on the bikes and accessories so to keep the investment up, here anyway, washing and polishing is cheap insurence.

I keep an old thermal blanket on as a cover and when I notice some condensation on the chrome due to temp swings I will turn on a fan that is aimed at the bike and it does eliminate the moisture. paul

 

Circulate the air with some kind of fan is the only way to stop the condensate problem. The ambient temp falls and rises faster than the bikes temp can. Then moisture condenses.

An old cotton should be more than adequate for indoor storage .... cotton fiber is "breathable" ... it shouldn't trap/hold moisture ... I would double check that your sheet isn't some "synthetic" type ... That could be the problem.

 

No doubt you would have had condensation on the bike even without a cover. A breathable cover doesn't prevent condensation it just doesn't trap it.
The bike was wet and it will dry (if it hasn't already).
