Just looked at their website Bill.  It's the only cover I've ever seen that came with a recommendation from it's mftr to be used while the vehicle is being towed.  I still wouldn't to it.

check out qwik shade. I think thats how its spelled. I have one I use on the road. its made of spandex type material and it covers the top of the bike. Very small, you could pack it in the glove box easy.

I have and my wife has out on the road bike covers that we highly recommend.  My cover is about 5 years old, it out lasted my my Roadglide.  My wife's cover is about 3 years old, and it too is on its second bike.  It is very light weight, repels water, and folds up small in its own case.  The lower section of the cover is made out of a material that keeps the pipes from buring the cover.  I do let the pipes cool alittle, but that is just me.  The name is Exigent and the phone number is 717-486-3238.  You can probably goggle the website address. They are the best in my book and no I don't work for that company.  I hope this is what you are looking for.  I can't remember, but I think the cost was about $65.00.

Yeah, I am greedy!  But you look at some of the materials that exist today and it is not unreasonable.

WFP,
Kuryakyn has a half cover that would fit into your lower fairing compartment without much effort at all (less it's bag), I have one, not a bad price about $40.00. One thing I will give the thumbs down to is the straps and hooks (metal hook) with no plastic on it. which I pulled off.

Hope it helps

Bill,
That one from http://www.gezagear.com/index.htm looks like you got to try to slip a small condom on your scooter [smiley=nervous.gif] [smiley=nixweiss.gif] don't about you but I can see that hanging up on all kinds of spots, going on and coming off.
H.D. covers and Kuryakyn covers I have, can be enough of a pain to do.
Well then to, I'm not the most patient man on the planet, JMHO

I have one that I love. I'll have to check when I get home but I think it's called Tour King. The guy is from Abilene, and when you order, you talk directly to him. It's a half cover, made for the EG, goes from the front headlite to the back of the tour pack, so the antennas don't get in the way. Has about four straps. Works excellent and will definately fit in your lower pocket.

I've had good luck with both Exigent(full) & Tour King(half) bike covers. I use the full at nite when it's parked for the nite and the half if I'm stopped during the day and it might rain. Both have held up well.

I have both the rain and dust covers from Exigent. Both are fine but you just can't beat the "percale sheet" for the $$. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
