Every year a sad thing happens: winter. For you lucky souls in the land of sunshine, this may mean very little, but for me it means saying a sad farewell to the road for a few months.
For indoor storage, Dowco gives us the Guardian custom bike cover. A shock cord hem secures the cover over most custom bikes. This cover is composed of soft cotton with a napped interior to protect your finished surfaces. Breathable material will keep condensation from building up if moisture gets under your cover. The Dowco Guardian is also great during the riding season if you plan to be doing any kind of messy work near your bike. There's no sense in risking a scratch, after all.
If you have roommates or kids and you don't want anyone messing with your machine while it's sleeping, the Guardian has reinforced grommets for a cable lock. This cover comes with a lifetime warranty, so you can feel secure with your purchase.
This is not an outdoor cover, but it is designed to keep your bike free of dust and damage during storage. I like to work in my garage, which means I kick up everything from sawdust to spray paint. With the right cover my bike will stay clean, dry, and happy over the winter.
On a side note, if you are getting your bike set for a stint of indoor storage, block the pipes and air intake because -- odd as it may seem -- mice like to nest in there.
