Default Motorcycle cover?

I work at a chemical company and worry about possible exposer to the paint of the new ride. Want to be able to cover the whole bike while at work and was wondering if anyone knows if you can put the HD cover on while the motor is still hot/warm? I know it says they are heat resistant but HOW heat resistant are they? With the warmer weather around the corner plan on riding to work a lot more.

I would think the wind blowing the cover all around on the paint wouldn't be good either.

The Harley dust cover is silky soft. No good for rain but it's the best cover I have ever had for a bike or car. Maybe look into one of thise stretch covers....

Google Geza or Geeza cover. Spendy....but fits like a glove.

My cover came from the local Cycle Gear store. Has elastic around bottom and two covered air vents. Works great. You have to wait 30 mins to cover bike after arriving to work because the exhaust is HOT. I ball it up and carry it in one of my 2014 SGS hardbags.
