has anyone got or experienced bike safe motorcycle garage's
http://www.airflow-group.com/bikesafe-m ... s-c74.html??
i bought one in september to house my firestorm but seem to be suffering from condensation.
got an oxford aquatex bike cover to use as a dust cover, do you think this could make matters worse?
is it better to leave bike uncovered to let it breathe so to speak?
any advice would be appreciated.
cheers again

I have a similar device called Secure-a-Bike.
I find putting it away with a few parts taken off it every time helps..............

Seriously though, does yours have vents to allow airflow? They really need them. These garages have them top and bottom to create some airflow around the machine. Make sure they are clear and not right against a wall etc

Also covering up a bike in these garages is :- a) not required and b) leads to sweating of the metal (minute water droplets like damp) especially if the bike is put away warm etc.
Leave uncovered and well ventilated!!!!!!

Ive got one.

Bought mine second hand a few months back. The guy that sold it me gave me a low wattage heater, out of a greenhouse, with a thermostat, to stop a similar problem.

He said it worked for him. Ive yet to try it. We are just in the process of moving house.
