I bought a 11 x 11 ft tent from Big 5, put it in the backyard and can park my 2 extra Buells, a mountain bike and assorted other stuff in there with room to spare. It's got a rain fly for rainy weather and vents for hot weather. Cheap too.

i traded my 03 fatboy for my buell but I kept my hd cover that I had for it. I now use it on the buell, it may be a little big but it has an elastic band around the bottom so it works very well. Its also alot easier to get on the buell than it was to get on the fatboy and it has heat resistant panels so you can use it even when the bike is still hot. It was a little pricey though.

I'd be interested in your OEM Buell cover if you are thinkin' about replacing it. Is it the full (to the ground) cover or what I call a bikini top that just covers seat, tank, handlebars etc. LMK. Thanks, Dan

Harley-Davidson, Sportster size, breathable cover, kicks ass! I use one and love it. They run around $90, but well worth it.

hows deutchland brian

It's great, absolutely love it here. It's Brine though, not "brian" - Kyle Brine.

I obviously keep mine in the garage, but I do have a "dust" cover for it, I found that the scooter/moped covers they sell here in the local motorcycle shops fit the Buell very nicely. It sits about 1/2 inch off the ground, elastic around the bottom, and a buckle which goes underneath to secure it.

Hmm, what are you lookin' for? Maybe a set (f & r) of axle sliders?

Which cover do you have? I'm just looking for an indoor storage cover, my bike doesn't sit out, unless on a roadtrip.
