Check these out:

They're pricy but worth it. This is the only cover I know of that I can use here in Florida and not collect condensation under it on the bike - best for breathability! Easy on - easy off and, if you trailer, it wont flap and damage your bike. Good luck!

I'm still using my Goldwing cover. My Ultra Classic is safer that way while I'm traveling.

Might want to take a look at the Nelson Rigg UV2000 - does a good job blocking out the sun rays keeping the bike a bit cooler when left in the sun.

for sun, i like the nylon stretchy ones...easy on, easy off, and packs small

http://shop.cycleshade.com/

i ordered the optional piece that goes over the fairing too....

this is my first one from cycleshade, i had a qwikshade, but's its too small for my current ride.

got a cover at cycle gear in so. calif. for $35.00 for my road glide. Works great at work keeping the bike cool in summer and the dust off it during the day. Vivid black takes about 1/2 hour to get dirty. Covers the whole bike and all I had to do is cut a hole in it for the antenna to poke through. Go for a whole bike cover in my opinion.

This might seem like a stupid question, but can a bike cover stop the alarm system from working or is it no problem???

No it Won't.

The system is more like a diabler and motion sensitive. It's not a shock sensor.

The Goldwing Cover is almost the best security cover for all HD Rigs...lol

+1 on this cover. I'm using it on a Street Glide and it covers the fairing and I pull it down over both bags. Great for keeping the sun and rain off the seat and dash and packs easily into its pouch to carry along with you.
