I have a 2008 H-D for eight years. I have been through many covers. The most expensive covers are the cycle manufacture cover, but that does not mean the best. A lot of inexpensive covers are made of light thin material, which has a short life. I have found heaver and more expensive covers that wear well but are a pain putting on and taking off. They get hooked up on a pedal, or light or another part of the bike. You then have to find where you are hooked and unhook it to put the cover on or off. Most coveres you have to start from the rear to put on or off. This is a hassle by it self. The Dowco Guardian is great quality and by far the easiest cover to remove and put on. You start from the front pull the unzipped sides together and zip the cover closed from the middle of the bike to the rear tire. It takes less than a minute. I love the buckle strap from one side to the other underneath the bike that secures the cover even more. They also sewn in extra reinforced holes to add a safety lock if you want. The best weather resistant cover there is. It is the only cover I will use, and I have used many.
