Without any actual use of the product..I would think it could CAUSE condensation like you would get with a bunch of people in a cold car fogging up the windows? Maybe if the air is heated enough it would prevent that?

Looks to me like they've got the filtration and condensation issues covered. Here's the product description and extra filter prices....


Harley Bubble

The Harley Bubble is designed to constantly flow filtered air over the bike, providing a dust-free, condensation-free environment that greatly decreases the chances of corrosion during storage. The bike stays clean, dry, and best of all, can be viewed even while it's being stored. For indoor use only. 110 volt only.

I do not personally have or use this product, but a very good friend of mine, Bob Biddle, does and he's an older extremely expericed true biker.  If he endorses anything, I believe him.  Man, I have not seen Bob in a couple of years, so thanks for asking a question that made such a nice memory come to mind.    ;)

Yeah - I have one.

Not made by HD of course - I ain't made of money  ;)

But exactly the same concept and my SEEG fits with the King TP no problem.

I can confirm the thing does exactly what it says on the tin

The clear bubble zips onto the heavy duty base and the fan and filter housing are at the rear - plug in the detachable 12v power pack and off you go

There's a zippered adjuster at the front (at base of screen height) to regulate how big the bubble gets and how much air flows thru'

I have used it for probably 4 winters now - no problems except it's a PITA to put the bike in and out - but that's in a UK sized garage which is full of junk - you guys won't have any issues

Also you can put a low wattage tube heater under the bike and hook up your optimate battery tender too thus keeping everything sweet until Spring

I'll send a photo when the salt starts going down

Cheers

What is winter storage ?

       Here's what you ice queens and snow princes should do in the winter. You drill some holes in the garage floor and put in some eye bolt lags. You then strap the bike down so it sits level and upright in front of a shelf containing a TV/VCR and a fan. You've got your battery tender plugged in and you sit on the bike, turn on the fan and watch the video's you made of all your rides of course using your

Crap, here we go into winter mode again. You southern boys just go ahead and dish it out like always, us northerners can take it. We hate it but we can take it.

BTW - good luck w/ the bubble. I like the TV idea better.

Does it stop the corrosion /discoloration of non chrome bolts, etc?
Try this - has worked for me in the past:

Screamin,

I think there is only one way to eliminate the annual taunting and harassment we northerners have to endure every winter -
