Default motorcycle covers,which one?

My question is which motorcycle cover is best to cover a hot motorcycle, I don't have time to let the bike cool off from the time I park it at work until I have to get on the train and leave ( I'm a locomotive engineer) I'd like to ride it to work but hate to leave it sitting out in the elements for the two days that I'm usually gone, so which cover can take the heat of a bike that has been ridden 100 miles in 95+ degree heat.

You don't say what model bike you have but I use Harley Davidson's Oasis Day Cover for my ultra classic. It's a half cover that you can put on while the bike is still hot.

It may not be an option for you since your bike stays parked for several days at a time.

Any cover that has the built in 'heat resistant' panels is good. Personally, I won't put an H-D cover on the bike; I would rather be nondescript about things when the bike is covered.

I just bought this cover which is the perfect size and the right price!

I bought an Exigent motorocycle cover. The fitment is great and I like the nondescript look.

Get a cover for a Goldwing. The Honda logo will prevent theft.

What about the antennas? Any openings for them?
