Don't you feel a little uncomfortable with the tail/brake lights partially blocked by the bike wheels?
This is part of the reason I would rather carry it in the bed of a pickup or inside a toyhauler or even in a trailer behind a truck and cabover camper. In addition to possible blocking lights, it is where road grime can occur especially in inclement weather and I would not want a $30K motorcycle subject to somebody possibly not stopping in time.
I suppose that if my bike was only ridden in fair weather then road grime may be an issue. I have always ridden in all weather except snow and ice on the road so inclement weather is not a problem, esp. with a cover on the bike. :R
Do NOT cover a bike that is being transported in the open air. The cover will whip and wear the paint wherever it hits.
I am using a swivel wheel this summer with my Goldwing. And it can take a little rain and dirt. It's been through the same with me on it.
