Can anyone recommended a quality cover that will fit the Uly with all three pieces of factory luggage installed?

Doesn't need to be weather-proof...just durable.

Bike will be parked in a commercial garage. Needed to keep prying eyes away.

Thanks.

I use a large Dowco Guardian Weatherall, but there are other Dowco models. I like the fact that with the Dowco, you can put it on with hot pipes since they have a heat resistant material along the lower section of the cover.

I have the Buell Fortress cover. It fits fine with all the luggage on. I used to use it a lot, but I have a garage now, so I don't use it so much. It covers the entire bike, and can almost be stretched to cover the tires to the road, too. It's easy to put on, easy to take off.

I have a NelsonRigg.com cover that fits with the helmet on the backrest and Caribou Luguage. I love the cover.

I have the same Dowco Gardian and I like it. Only bad part is it practically fills one side bag.

Prying eyes I don't mind. It's those sticky fingers that bother me!

I got a good scare the other day after parking at a Macdonolds for some lunch. A very small child broke loose from his mothers grip and ran over to the bike and touched it on the right side near the exhaust header. I thought he was going to burn his little hand because I have the headers shiny ceramicoated and kids naturally go for the shiny stuff. Luckily he didn't touch the headers before mom grabbed him up. Whew! I would have felt bad if he had burned his little hand...

I bought a cover at Target (the french store) for $25. It's made for large cruisers and fits my Uly with all bags just fine. It's pretty much a deal for $25. I don't know the brand off hand but they sell the same one for $50 online.

It's here... but for some reason my local stores have it for $25.

+1 for the Target cover.

Tried mine out for the first time yesterday with the tail bag on and it fit fine. There looked to be plenty of room for the side bags as well, even though mine weren't on at the time. Like Michael1 says, not too bad for $25.
