As a rule, add 4 ft to your vehicle length. A cruiser / touring needs a bay at least 10 ft long. Width adds 1-2 ft on each side; height adds 1-1.5 ft above the tallest accessory (AC, antenna, mast). When in doubt, oversize the bay - it's cheaper than damaging your vehicle on move-in.
Michigan pricing for a cruiser / touring typically runs $35-$234/month depending on storage type. Outdoor uncovered is the cheapest; indoor climate-controlled is the highest. Pricing factors: shared bay vs private bay, battery tender access, paddock-stand vs ground storage.
In Michigan, indoor heated is strongly recommended for any vehicle with fluids or sensitive electronics. The freeze pattern (-10°F winter lows; sustained freeze November-April) damages fiberglass, hose runs, and battery health. Outdoor is acceptable only for short-term storage of fully-winterized vehicles.
Yes, but oversize bays cost more per month even if you don't need the full length. Most owners optimize for "smallest bay that comfortably fits your vehicle + clearance + slight margin." A 14 ft bay is comfortable for a cruiser / touring; anything larger is wasted spend unless you're planning to upgrade to a bigger vehicle.
Michigan HOA rules, municipal zoning, and storm exposure usually make it impractical to park a cruiser / touring long-term at home. Most subdivisions either ban it outright or require it to be out of sight from the street within 24-72 hours. A purpose-built storage facility costs less than HOA fines plus weather damage over 12 months.
