Default motorcycle cover

I am looking for a motorcycle cover to travel with. I have three criteria: cheap, packs down small, and no harley markings. Please give me suggestions. Thank you

I bought one off of ebay a few weeks ago. Cost $1.00 and $20.00 to ship from Hong Kong. It is like a tent for your bike. I got the one with the yellow back so that it could be seen parked in a space so that it was not run into.

Been using covers for several years while traveling and at work ( nights).

Get a Dawco half cover, works great, packs small, no HD markings...about 35.00 new...will last a long time. You didn't say, but if you have antennas on a tour box, you can cut two small slits near the rear seam and it still works great.
I have a full cover and rarely use it...I like the half cover better....

A friend of mine has the Nelson Rigg cover, I don't like it, it fits very tight, I don't care for it.

Look here

I got the Harley half cover. works great and folds up real small into it's own pocket. A little pricey (75.00) has the plastic holes for antennas. I like mine had it over a year now and it's been through a couple of bad storms and did good.
