Cotton sheets. Better than covers-they won't trap moisture. Inexpensive also. If you have a dealer in your area who will give advice without trying to sell you something, they will probably tell you the same thing. I would only use a cover outdoors.

Exigent Bike Covers. Google it. They run about $45.00, excellent quality and it's a breathable indoor dust cover.

I use sheets also. The sheets won't draw moisture like some bike covers will.

I picked up one at Wal Mart. Nice cover for the money. It's over 5 years old now and good as new.
It does not scratch the bike or hold moisture. It even has add protection for the winshield.
The only thing it doesn't have is the Harley Logo.

+1 on the Wal-Mart cover. Good quality and price. Find it in the Auto section $ 25 +/-
