Harley Bubble is a self contained unit with a platform that your bike gets parked on and is covered with what likes like a plastic bubble. It has a fan in it and moves filtered air threw the bubble. It makes it dust free and keeps the moisture down as well.

Here is my bubble, not the harley model, made by Carcoon...I don't want to get into too many specifics & say something I don't know is correct, but I believe from my research that the harley style continuously pulls in outside air to keep the bubble inflated while this carcoon model actually recirculates most of the inside air after inflation. It also comes with it's own battery tender so when its all connected if you lose power the fan actually runs off the battery in the bike & when power comes back on switches back...I did quite a bit of searching on the internet & went with carcoon because of their design. You will pay nearly double....but I got tired of spending time cleaning the bike after riding only to have to dust it off when I wanted to get it out the next time...call me obsessive...I had it in the bubble for nearly 2 months this winter before I moved it in the garage & it was as spotless as when I put it away. See theire website for details on their design...just my opinion...
I hope the pic comes through..crappy phone pic...

Thanks Ruiner, I'm going to check out their web site. I like the Idea about the battery. I've own my body shop for almost 20 years now. Twenty years of painting vehicles tends to make you a anal SOB.

Has anybody purchased The Harley Bubble. It's in the H-D accessories book.
  Is it worth the $300.00. Live in Vermont and get a lot of moisture in my garage. It's heated but always
snow melting off vehicles.
 Thanks.
this is a joke right?

How is it going to keep the moisture down?

 That's what the write up said in the H-D book.
Thought that I'd pose the question to see if anybody had one and if they liked it.

If you do some reading/research on the Carcoon bike bubble, or any of their units, they actually recirculate most of the air in the bubble once it's inflated, that way the air in the bubble doesn't fluctuate as much as the surrounding air with changes in humidity & such. My carcoon also has a zipper/vent on the opposite end as the fan so that if you wash your bike put it away less than perfectly dry you leave the vent open to continuously pull in / push out fresh air to remove any remaining moisture, then close vent after a number of hours, overnite. This all sounds good, I'm just posting what I can remember from when I did all my searching around the net/forums. Makes sense to recirculate & filter the air instead of just pulling in outside air. When I say filter the carcoon has a charcoal filter screen as well as the outer foam filter. I don't want to get over my head & say something wrong, it's all on their site...
