Don't you have to keep swapping over, and recharging the dessicant for the vac bags? Not sure how long each will last but a couple of hours in an oven is usually enough. I use a bubble instead, and had no problems so far either, time will tell.  |

i have one.left my F2 in it for about a yr in the shed where it cold in winter n hot in summer  Came out as clean as it went in.no furring alloy no rust Ideally it would good to have no rust on bike.As said above bike should be washed and PERFECTLY dry when put in the bag.Dont forget crevices water can lay that you cant get too ie radiator fins You can buy the drysorb sacks or wotever they called seperately and they aint that dear so just buy a new one after a yr or so  |

Definately doing this next winter, Lc2 seems of apart from needing the alloy buffed but the N2 wasn't even finished and it has furry bits. Large patch of the clutch casing paint has fur spots, must have been porous and damp when I painted it.
