I purchased the covers and returned them since they seemed to be poorly made and not as soft as using a cotton towel.
Look at the below Fix My Hog video to see what they use.

I have both and have used the fender one maybe 2 times. The tank one... about a bazillion. Saved me about half a bazillion times too.
Nothing like dropping a t-27 bit or socket on a brand new tank.
Towel works too but prefer the tank cover. Thicker material and does not move around. It's worth buying if you can find it on discount.

Been using large sheets such as old bedding for decades, so I'm not about to change. They can be folded several ways and jammed into/around stuff to stop them sliding or falling off. Just take the sheets off the spare bed....

towels.
my "motorycle covers" in the garage are old bed sheets
my spotlight covers ( when removing fairing) are tube socks.
you can over think it and over pay...but imagine using the saved money to pay off a debt or put towards another bike...or a set of tires...or motel rooms on the way to Sturgis.

I have & use both the HD covers... work well & no issues.
Like everything HD, including the bike they cover, they're over priced. Goes with the territory.

I also keep Harbor Freight moving blankets around for that very thing. With a coupon you can get the smaller on e for 2 or 3 bucks and they are the perfect size for what you need.
