Default Ultra road covers?

Has anyone come across a nice bike cover that will work on the road with shorty antennas?
I bought one cover and it doesn't will work well with my Ultra and shorty Ant. I want something for when I'm on the road and want to cover it at night. Figure someone has had to run into this?

I bought a half cover for when I'm on the road.&nbsp\\; I picked up some plastic grommets&nbsp\\;and put one in the cover for the antennae.&nbsp\\; The antenae sticks up through the grommet and the cover fits just fine.&nbsp\\; My coverf only comes down to the bottom of the faring and the top of the saddlebags but at least the seat is dry in the A.M.

Maybe not what you’re asking but I purchased a UV protective half-cover, re-enforced the antenna areas, then cut small holes allowing long whip antennas to fit through.

Worked for me…

I took the easy way out and purchased the HD 1/2 Day Cover that has rubber "star" cutout inserts for both antennas.&nbsp\\; Long or stubby, either way it works and the straps on the cover hold it down very well.....if you don't mind the $85.00 price.

I have the Exigent cover for my 08 Ultra and it works great. Waterproof, light weight and folds up small into it's own pouch. www.exigentbikecovers.com

I just purchased this one from HD:
98715-85VC
(Touring Motorcycle Cover)
I have the shorty antennaes and this works great ... has the slot for the antennae that velcroes closed ...
