I also have a "Harley Bubble", that ain't my belly neither, but have yet to use it.  I bought it for the "oldster but am not sure how it will handle the fumes and crap spewing out of the old fella.  Any thoughts?

Doesn't it have a fan circulating air thru it at all times? As long as there is air circulating it shouldn't be any different then sitting out of the bubble in the garage. You may want to place a metal pan or something under bike to catch drippings as they may harm the floor section of the bubble.

I dont bother with a cover in the garage...I come and go thru the garage, and love to sse the bikes when I come in from work. On the road I use an Exigent outdoor cover, I have both. the full protection cover and the smaller top and seat cover. I too clean my bikes soon after returning from a ride....

[porthole]

Had the SEEG under the CVO cover once for a couple weeks, didn't like the way the bike looked after removing, seemed as though it kept any moisture trapped. Don't use it anymore.

I did buy a Dowco indoor cover that is made to breath, it is no more then a dust cover. I only use it when I am "making sawdust"
Outdoors I have two covers, a light weight travel cover (packs up small) and a heavy weight cover. I use the lightweight when I take the bike to work, since it will be sitting outside in the sun and dust for a good 12-16 hours. It is OK for that, but when a boomer rolled through one afternoon the bike was very "wet" after removing the cover.

Haven't tried the heavyweight cover.

I also had bought 2 California dusters. Didn't like them, something to do with the treatment that picks up the dust and was leaving streaks on the chrome. Gave them both to my buddy with a black Honda Sabre and a custom CJ-7 

For dusting I use a Home Depot bought "feather duster". Works great, inexpensive and it doesn't retain all the dust - debris like the California Duster does, and the feather duster does a great job of getting in all the little nooks & crannies

Duane,
One trick with the dusters is to put them in a paper bag for a few days, it draws the "extra" oil out of them. After that they shouldn't streak but the other dusters work good too.

Too late Ed, already gave them away. Its OK though, not only is he my riding buddy & scuba partner, he is also my electrician. I think I always come out ahead

I think he could be referring to the use of blankets, sheets, or an old comforter...that's what I generally use on my bikes that didn't come with a special CVO cover.

Unless it's the Friday beer thread you must read ALL the posts!

I only cover mine if its detailed and I know it will be awhile before I ride again. I read a article once about a guy who did a lot of cross country riding. He always used an old Gold Wing Cover. In his words "for security nothing beats some good camouflage".

[46knuck]

I used sheets, towels or nothing most of the time. Now I use the HD inside cover and should have started many years ago.  Bought 3 now off flebay at  half the cost and one was new.

I know I should cover it but I'd rather be able to see it.  I hang in the garage a lot and just like staring at her when I'm grilling and having a beer!  She's covered now while in winter storage.  To tell you the truth, I never had the cover out of the bag for the above reason.
