Indoor (Garage) motorcycle cover for dust protection?
« on: August 12, 2025, 03:12:04 PM »
I'm looking to get some motorcycle covers for my 1975/6 CB400Fs and my 1983 CB1100. They will be stored inside my garage with the exception of when I ride them into work. I'm primarily looking for indoor covers that won't scratch up the paint, contribute to rust, and will keep the bikes from getting dusty. Bonus points if you can also recommend an outdoor cover that I can keep at my work too!

Thanks!

We use old sheets for dust protection in the shop. They breathe and don't cause rust plus the price is right. We have too many bikes to be buying covers.
The outdoor cover needs to be heat resistant and vented well. When you get to work you usually have to put the cover on when you get there and you don't want it to melt on the exhaust.

Is your garage a concrete floor and is not insulated / heated? If so, if you get winter temps below 4C, condensation occurs. I could not use covers on my bikes, as they trap the ,moisture. Airflow helps.
