Here is my 2c on an LT storage shell:
CycleShell builds (to order) and ships straight to the rider a quality "crusier" shell that is the real deal. It has a hard rubber-like floor (foldable), and boasts a heavy duty cover that cocoons over the bike, while its sides are reinforced by a rigid aluminum frame. The whole thing weighs less than a hundred pounds, and it is a piece of cake to set up. Not neccessary to take the anteanna off as it curves gently inside the frame. With shipping, costs about $450. CycleShell is waterproof and the seams are tight. Heavy duty zipper, covered vents on sides. And with the LT inside, hunkered down, it also ain't going anywhere. I put a 10' x 8' plywood piece beneath the rubber floor and although not necessary, it aids stability on grass, the latter now about to be deader than Kelsey's nuts. I situated it behind my house, as mastodon-like in size, it is a bizarre eyesore to the unwashed.
My wife just stares at it. Me, I'm pleased with the product and wanted you to know.
Rode 170 miles today from near Max BMW in NH to the Berkshires of western Mass (windy, 37 degrees) and almost nobody but me on beautiful two-lane, colorful roads. Saw two other riders, is all--both Harley guys who were dressed like eskimos. Friendly eskimos, though...Gave me a fig newton and a Miller High Life. That's living.
