Matt, my dealer, sez that when I bring the bike (G-5 Dlx) in for its 500 mile checkover and oil change, he's going to replace the old hellacious cover with the new easy one if necessary (i.e., it hasn't a new one on already as might seem to be the case from the other post noted above). And I get to watch what happens so I'll know when I'm taking care of things in my own garage after that.
