Hi guys, first post so please excuse my inexperience.
Like many others, im looking to buy a 6. But at the moment I live in a townhouse neighborhood with no garages or shelters. This bike would be a daily driver from march to october I was wondering how the bike was handling the elements. I hope to have a garage in the next year or two, but you know what they say "Plan for the worst........"
Thanks guys
Bob
Get a bike cover for it.
Or buy a clamshell shelter:

Yeah. If you can afford it the clamshell is the way to go.
Has anyone noticed any fading? Or any electrical problems from 1 too many rain storms? I would probably us a bikini cover if there is one most of the time.
I have a garage but on various trips my F6B has sat out in the elements. No problems. Back in the days that I didn't have a garage I used to rent a storage unit. If you live in a complex there is always a storage place nearby.

I have storage for winter time. Im just curious about the driving months is all.
UV is hell on plastic. The Wing is covered with it. AT LEAST a bikini type cover/half cover for it. Takes less than a minute or two to install it.

Who makes a good bikini/half cover for it. I had email wingstuff about one and they said they dont carry one. And I noticed a lot of the goldwing half covers attach to the rear trunk that the 6 doesnt have.
