If my bike is going to be sitting in the hot sun for more than an hour, I put my nelson rigg uv 2000 cover on it. It's very reflective and keeps the bike cool plus it keeps prying eyes off it as well.
Not my bike but you get the idea.
Nothing! Just ride da **** out of the bike and sell it. Are you keeping it for life? If not, forget bout' it!
About the only time that I cover my bike is here at work. I have to park in the designated motorcycle parking areas and the two areas that I use are protected from the wind, so that's not a concern for me. As for rubbing and gas fumes building up inside the cover? I ain't worried.
Me too on the designated parking (army post). I cover most days and I use one of these when I get home sice I don't have a garage or carport.I'm in the same boat with no car port or garage. So i picked up the Bike Barn

If your extremely lucky it may fade to the fast Neutron Silver color 3 years, 49,000 miles, parked in the eveing under an overhang, washed only at service time, many miles in the rain. I see no signs of fade. Covers tend to bother my mind, wind can kick up outa no where here in the Pacific Northwet and I can just see the cover turning into a sail. Not to mention the time taking it off for the commuter home, every minute lost is many more cars choking the road
I guess what goes on beneath the covers stays there, eh?
sounds like I maybe taking it to the extreme however I am just like that
Anyone use 303 Protectant? I have heard great things about it.
If she's there waiting to cover it for you every night, I'll have to get one of those. Of course then I'll have a big open space in the garage.
I cover mine at work too, but not for the same reason as everyone else. I found out some idiot co-workers were playing on it, and rather than them ending up in the morgue and me in jail, the $25 cover is much less trouble.
