This cover on the Buell site has a rather sparse description. No mention of moisture resistance just a comment that it is good for indoor storage (if I remember correctly).

Has anyone given this cover a try. I want a relatively compact cover I can use on trips or while at work. Something to protect against light rain, sun (UV) and dust etc.

The fortress cover is for indoor use only. It is more of a dust cover for winter storage indoors.

I bought a cover from one the full dress harleys. Wasn't impressed with the city cover. Same price too.

I also use the rain cover from the Electra-glides on my Ulysses. It fits the bike well but doesn't pack real small.

Thanks for the comments folks. I think think I will look at some alternatives.

Yeah it pretty much fills my left side case. It came with a small bag but.....

I have the fortress cover, and I use it when I park my bike outside sometimes, but just to keep leaves, pollen, dust, and bird crap off my bike. It's not waterproof, but then again, I ride in the rain as often as not, so I'm not worried about water...

I have one of these for my Electra Glide. Packs smaller than a loaf of bread.
