Hey Don
            Thinking what an organized guy you are I was surprised NOT to find this ride in the GALLERY under Members Bikes. Since this thread (as is any thread with your name attached) has gotten stupid long, it would be nice to be able to see all the pics of the bike in one slide show.

Have a collection of the photos like that locally.  Nothing up online though other than the individuals here in their somewhat serial fashion.  Will see what I can string together.

Scored another part for this old bike today.  Even though it won't likely get used was pleased to see UPS drop off the box.  Got one of the original Dowco covers correct for the 02 FLHRSEI and stitched from threads of unobtanium. 

[spydglide]

Cool.  Was unaware that it even came with it's own cover.  Nice score.  spyder

[Buy early]

Great score Don! I know how fun it is to find smoething you have been searching for for a long time!

[Twolanerider]

Thanks guys.  It was never an imperative as I'll never likely use it anyway.  It's like the specifically correct cover for the old Road Glide in that way. 

Unlike the later bikes from 04 on these earlier covers had some model specific graphics on the sides.  They did'n't come with any other bikes.  So just to throw it back saved and have it makes me happy.  Got it for a good price too (relatively speaking).  $125 on eBay.

Nah, if it was an obsession I'd have scored one of the listings that had seen for 400-600 bucks in the last few years.  They come up occasionally.  Just stupidly expensive.  So I just let the eBay auto search do its thing and finally saw one at a reasonable price.

Nah, if it was really that, I've got something he'd be kicking my door down for but he hasn't so I know he's basically just a normal H-D fanantic.

Yeah, I used to think I had OC......


                           but then I got distracted and forgot about it  .

But now I've got a half-way cool bike cover.

But now I've got a half-way cool bike cover. 

I believe the official OEM term for it is "Indoor Dust Cover" - - NOT intended to be used out in the weather.
I always chuckled at this because it was obvious that the MoCo felt that the CVO bikes would be garaged exclusively

The "official" cover for the Road Glide is the same thing.  All fabric.  If it got wet, or even damp, it would sag like an old lady's bosoms. 

The damn things are, of course, also thick because they're fabric.  So it's not like you'd ever fold them and carry them on the road.  Just too big.  The cheap, small, and effective Exigent cover will still travel.  I never cover the bikes in the shop anyway.  So while the new cover will almost never get any use it's just cool to have.

I used my cover once but found it actually help hold the moisture on the bike 

[Spiderman]

Since Hank is kind enough to insist that I ride his super trick (of course it is, I tricked it) out Road King during the 8 months I'm in SoCal, LD stays tucked away here in a nice dry garage with a cover. An official Harley-Davidson waterproof cover no less LOL Given that the bike is inside I'd actually prefer to have one of these indoor dust covers. So what's my point ? I think if you're not going to ride the bike for extended periods of time, the indoor cover is a great deal even in an over the top garage like yours
