I'd like to get an outdoor cover for my bike, any do's or don'ts and/or recommendations..links are always appreciated.
 
I just bought a cover at Walmart for $20.00 size large. Fit and finish seem to be good. Fits great and fast installation! Don't know the difference between an outside and an "inside" cover, but you can't beat that price!
 
Keep my bike outside all the time...no choice..

Get a heavy fully waterproof cover..Not a light shower or dust proof one...

Like all things..You get what you pay for..

I use a light plastic cover when on trips. Light enough to fold up and put in my tank bag. Just don't put it on until the exhaust pipes have cooled down or you'll be

. Works great and it has tie holes in the bottom center to keep it from blowing off in the wind. Works GREAT

Here is a company I used to use alot when I had some muscle cars that were stored outside. They offered very good protection and breathed very well as to not ruin the paint. They are a little costly but well worth it. I believe they run about $80 or so.

OUCH...man save up the money and get a little single axle covered trailer. You can pick one up for about $1000 give or take a few hundred. I know it is a little on the costly side and isnt %100 fool proof from geting stolen but is covers better than any cover out there and sometimes out of site out of mind....

My brother picked up a 6x12 for less than 3000 and it is a great thing to have since in AZ where he is moving he prob wont have a garage. Just my .02
 
Bought a cover from walmart and also got a Cycleshell.
Look at cycleshell.com
They are very nice.

Heck if you keep it in your garage just throw an old bed sheet over it to keep the dust off. Wouldn't buy a cover for that.
