Winter Lay up
#15
In the past where I had my bike in a carport I built a box just big enough to fit my bike into. Its cold and wet during the off season in these parts. I made a lightweight wood frame and then screwed 1/4" plywood with 1" foam attached. I used two corners of the carport as walls (with the foam attached) and built the rest. I could place the bike in the corner and then screw the panels into place. I used the one exposed long side to access the bike if needed but just removing a few screws. This system is supper easy to erect and take apart. I used to lean the panels to the side when not in use.
If you do this with a gas stabilizer, smart charger and lightbulb illuminated inside the the box (indirect light to the bike) the bike will come out in the spring just like you left it in the fall as long as you washed it well before putting it to bed.
I realize a good cover could work but with the light to reduce moisture I felt this box was a safer option.
