I have a CoverMax for both of my bikes. It is a lightweight cover that packs well for travelling. This cover provides excellent protection against the sun, dirt and moisture. Moreover, it is extremely well priced at under $40. In fact, CruiserCustomizing.com has it for sale for $28.99. Several of my friends have bought the same cover, and they are equally as satisfied as me.

to kind of piggy back on this post, it IS better to leave it out in the sun (VEGAS heat) and wind during the work day than to use a cover and get some scratches right? I've only had a flat black paint and now I'm getting the "brilliant Silver" finish on my new bike, don't want to F it up!

I've been thinking of purchasing a cover since my bike sits in my garage more than it sees the streets. I haven't bought one as of yet. For now all I did was use a full size (mattress) "T-shirt" bedsheet. It's just like sleeping on a cotton T-shirt and covers the rear part of the bike perfectly. It doesn't cover the whole bike, but I used the sheet as well to cover the front half. I'm thinking maybe a king size bedsheet would fit the entire bike. They are cheap too!

I currently use a Cycle Shell Touring Cover. The thing is awesome, have to fold the antennas forwards, but it works. Waterproof, plus I have it anchored to the ground, says it can take winds up to 70 mph. Sometimes I come home though to the little kids playing house in it, every once in a while, I find it shut up with bicycles, trying to say, it is well built.

Ultragard Classic II size XLG, $76 from motorcycle-superstore.com in 2008. A snug fit on my 2009 SG with the 10" windshield, passenger backrest, and bags. Covers the bike good to almost the bottom of the tire sidewalls. Good cover to travel with.
