Bike Cover
« on: January 19, 2011, 12:14:02 AM »

Does anybody make a light  dust cover, for traveling,
that will accommodate the two antennas on a FLTRUSE?

Thanks

I saw the most amazing cover at Las Vegas Bikefest 2010 made of a lycra type very soft stretchy fabric that was totally waterproof really have to see it to believe it but I was totally blown away they were squirting it with super soakers and the water just beaded up and rolled off their web site is www.skn-it.com check it out they had a real good deal at the show but I hadnt picked up my bike so missed out if you do want one we could see about a special rate I would take 1 for my FLTRUSE and 1 for my Deuce.... let me know ...they are based in SOCAL I will be down there the week 1/27/11

There have been some threats on this with some amazing covers.  I can't do it from my phone right now but try using the search function, above.  I am sure you'll find some good information.

I have a cover called Ultraguard. I had two large button holes about an inch long sewn into it where the antennas go and it works very well

For the $ and quality you can't beat the cover from Walmart that fits over my 2010 SE Ultra. There are no holes for the antennas which is OK from my perspective. The antennas fold down nicely and tuck under the arms of the passenger backrest. This cover is very light and folds up very small for packing in a saddlebag or the TP. Hard to beat for $30.

Back when I was riding Ultra Classics, I'd just bend the antennas forward and put the cover over the top.  Worked well, that way.

Of course I got the idea from somebody else back in 1989 (when I got my first Ultra Classic).  Interestingly, I didn't know anybody else that was on a bagger back then and I went straight to an Ultra Classic.  All my road dogs thought I'd lost my mind......of course now they're all on baggers. ;D

For on the road long trips, I bought the inexpensive Wal-Mart cover, duck taped inside/outside and cut a small X where the antennas go, works fine.  Also, it will fit into the Harley saddlebag guard bag for storage.

that lycra cover really looks cool.  very expensive at $245.00 though.  does anyone know how compact it is, how small it folds?  i would assume becasue of the material it would fold up real small and therefore make it good for road trips?

Wall Mart has them.  Get the extra large, works great for under $25 bucks.  Be using it for 4 years with no issues.
