Question Shorty bike cover

I'm taking a trip across the country and would like to have a cover for my bike, I don't want a full cover just one that I can slip on quickly to cover the tank and seats.
I have a Electra glide ultra with tour pak
I seen ones that hook on to the handle bars and at the back, any info would be a help
thanks

I just ordered one from www.skn-it.com. It looks like it will fill what I am looking for. I have a 2012 road glide ultra but they make covers to fit any bike. It just shipped so I can't tell you much more yet. The harley oasis looked good too but this looks a little tighter.

I like the HD cover a lot but its best not to advertise whats underneath the cover.

I bought the skn Street Glide Shade last year and use it all the time. It stores easily and is easy to use.

I had a cover from Geza Gear when I had a Buell. They make covers for big bikes too. Go on easy, and roll up really compact. I think it would be good for a trip. Check them out at http://www.gezagear.com
