I have a Dowco, that I picked up at a Honda dealer.  Should do the trick.

I wouldn't suggest putting a full cover on the bike directly after getting off. To many things are going to be to hot for a cover to not to melt on. For a full cover I would suggest a cover from Exigent, and if you want to go with something that just covers top of bike Oasis Day Cover.

I use the day cover at work, it works great.  I do let the bike cool for a couple hours before I put it on.

I have the HD black cover (without the Harley Eagle imprinted on it, don't want to advertise) with the aluminized heat shields along the sides.  I can put the cover on usually within 5 mins of parking at work and haven't, knock on wood, touched the vinyl area to the engine or pipes...the aluminized area has and doesn't leave a mark.  It's been a great cover for me.  Plus it has, which won't be necessary for you, the velcro slit in the back so you can run the antennas through.

I use the invisible cover. It's cool, installs quickly, removes just as fast and takes up no storage space. I use it every where i go. The coolest thing about it, you can show off your nice shining chrome while using. The only problem I've encountered so far, it' not water proof, so i just carry around a little hanky to dry off the important part before mounting.

Sportygordy,
You forgot to add it can be put on immediately after dismounting and can even be placed on the bike while engine is running. ;D

I have one of these covers as well.  I never take mine off......saves having to put it on when you stop. :D

I work at a General Dynamics, It is a defence plant,(WE BUILD SUBMARINES). We have to wand thru gates to
enter the place. So i will not be able to go put the cover on after entering the work area.

Stay with the Dowco. The Zipper on my Guardian Elite Dowco broke after 4 years, I phoned them up & they told me to send it back & they would repair or replace. Got a brand new one in the mail less than 2 weeks start to finish. NOW THAT's CUSTOMER SERVICE!
