I use the Dowco Guardian on both bikes. I figure you will need at least the XXL for your HD.

Around 5 years of being in all weather, the stitching starts to come undone around the elastic cinch strap at the bottom.

I would put some some of paver down for the bike to sit on. Long periods of resting in the dirt is not good for the rubber.

I have used the same Dowco Guardian for years. In fact, my uncle gave it to me when he sold his Gold Wing and it was about three years old then. Great cover. Used when parking my bike under a carport in both Florida and S/E Texas with no problems at all.

I have a cheap suggestion and one “do not recommend “
Cheap suggestion is try to locate a roofing company doing a job. Pick up a big pile of old shingles. Sit under that carport, in a chair with a cold one, denail, and then lay out a 4x8 patch, double up if you get a lot. There is your free vapor barrier.

Do not recommend is any cover by Nelson-Rigg. Mine disintegrated in less than two years on my Wing. POS. Enjoy your retirement, mine was forced upon me in July!

Several of my friends here in Houston have this cover and really like it. Any of y`all have input?

Everyone has given some great advice Les, before we got this place I had just an overhang for the bikes. Since Monica worked for A store that threw away their rubber floor mats I got three of them. Check local stores that throw them away. The shingles are a great idea as well I’ve seen them used too.

I ordered the cover I posted above and came in today. Fits well and is tailored for fairing and tour pack. Has several straps that buckle underneath. There's a big draw string at bottom. Top is lined with soft material to not scratch paint or windshield. The sides have a heat resistant fabric so hot exhaust should an issue. I did a test fit, but won't use it till I move.

Nice.

I thought the whole purpose of moving out there was to ride you bike...not wrap it up.

Nice for covering the bike for extended periods in Winter, for example. Not so much during daily use though. I noticed by your trail cam pics you get snow and winter conditions where your new house is. In Arizona where we can ride all year round it wouldn't get used that much and taking it off and on would get old quick. Good to see it has some ventilation vents.
