I'm trying to find a good cover for my '07 Uly. The only thing I see is Buell city covers that cover only the top half of the bike and universal covers that cover the entire bike. I don't want to buy something that is designed to fit all, but actually doesn't fit anything if you know what I mean. Preferably a Buell cover that covers the entire bike. Has anyone bought a cover for your bike and if so what are your thoughts? | ||

Are you keeping it indoors, under a roof, or open air? Right now mine is open air, but I'm building a shed with a lean-to for the bikes. I have to worry about cats on the seat, so I didn't like the Buell city cover at all. I'm currently using a Gold Wing cover I got from Wal-Mart. Black and Red box can't remember the name. It works no real complaints and it isn't leaking yet, but like you I'd rather have something fitted for the bike... I like the Palmer cover but I don't think they ship it to the states =P | ||

The city cover is not made to be used as a "garage". It is great for keeping stuff "out of sight, out of mind" and as a shade from the sun and bird droppings. It's not very water repellent, it barely handles a heavy dew. I use mine a lot though when traveling. It goes on and off very quickly. Great for covering up your stuff when you stop for lunch etc. | ||

I'm trying to find one that fits with all three bags on. Isn't that Goldwing cover a little large? | ||
| Eternalbiker |
Right now I don't even have the bags on it, cover just touches ground on all sides. I need to try it with the bags on it. | ||

I have an old universal "Dresser" cover that I've used on a '95 BMW R1100R with bags and windshield that works great on my Uly. | ||

I use the cover off my old Road King. Works great and really is not too big. | ||

The Dowco cover that WM sold for a while for touring bikes (I think the box even said Gold Wing, Electra Glide and listed a few BMWs) will fit the Buell WITH all 3 of the bags on. If you remove the bags, it will go to the ground. Its made from the silver nylon with the heat coating on the lower panels. I think it sold for around $20. No logos or anything on it. | ||

I've got a Dowco large, and it fits snugly with the side cases on...haven't tried it with the top box. I originally wanted the XL, but the saleslady talked me into the L. Seems fine. I avoided buying one at the H-D dealer because of the frickin' logo all over it, and because I thought $100 was WAY too much. Turns out, the Dowco without the H-D logo is not too much cheaper. It's good quality, though. What I REALLY want is a garage...sitting on the street under a cover is still hell on the wheels. All that sand, salt, grime... | ||

Crazy idea. Park it inside a tent. Cheap as a cover. Once zipped up it is pretty well sealed from everything. | ||

a ramp a big door to the lounge and have it as an ornament  | ||

It sounds like the Dawco or Nelson covers are the way to go. I have the side bags and would prefer to always keep it in a garage, but you never know when you will have to park it outside or insight. I just moved out of my house and now live in an apartment, so the need to get it covered and be discreet is more important. | ||

Boys...the cover Palmer sells from England is wonderful...covers the hard bags. Yeah...the Palmer bracket people. Euly | ||

Eulysses Oh great, Forbidden fruit! Delux Bike Cover from Palmer: "SORRY BUT THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR SALE OUTSIDE THE UK DUE TO ITS' WEIGHT PENALTY CHARGES." Maybe I can visit while I'm in Germany... |
