Humid Conditions Protecting the Harley

Hey Dudes. G’day to you all. I put a post up “somewhere” and I am buggered if I know what I have said on the site. I am in my 60’s BUT I still love a bevvy or 100. Just got a new Road Glide in Victoria and will be transporting to QLD where it is pretty humid for a few months of the year where I just moved to. I plan to house the bike in a lock up brick garage/ tin roof and was wanting to put a bike cover on it to keep the dust off but I just do not know if the cover will trap the humidity and make things worse or not. SO for those who live in the tropics/sub tropics, what would you suggest? Any other advice would be hugely appreciated as at my age, this is my third and last Harley and would love to look after it best I can so my oldest son can at least inherit something of value and not just all of my debts!! The advice of others who are in the same situation would be so bloody much appreciated. Cheers and Beers Big Ears. Darren

Lived in MacKay/Townsville for 22 years, kept mine in the shed, cloth sheet over it if I had to go away for work, if you are fastidious with cleaning(I'm not) it wont deteriorate, exposed stuff like spokes, nuts on the bottom of the mirrors, shit like that will rust if you let it.

Thanks cobber. The bike has no spokes and is "black on black" which I have never owned before. All the others have been in Victoria and all chrome and shit man...it was hard bloody work keeping which I never did and suffered the consequences as I had my own business and as I now know was a big mistake with my kids given I was working 7 days a week for 20 years and I still suffer from this but this bike badly needs to be top shelf for my son hence the question. So bloody appreciate your response and THANK YOU
