Park and Cover the Motorcycle
Park the motorcycle in its storage location. Cover the motorcycle with a genuine VICTORY motorcycle cover, or a
cover made from a durable, breathable material designed for storage. Covering the motorcycle helps protect it from
dust and other airborne materials. The cover must be of a breathable material to prevent moisture from building up
on the motorcycle.
