Hi. I use a cover made in PA whenever I go to any bike event. It is very light weight and waterproof. It comes with a nylon bag to store it in. Just stuff it back into the bag when done.

Have an exigent seat cover as well. Works great as long as I remember to put in on.

I use one of these when traveling. takes up a little more room than a t-shirt when rolled up into the storage bag and keeps the seat,backrest and fairing electrics out of the elements. Cost me something like $29 from a vendor at americade a few year ago. the place in the link has 'em for $32

Harley makes a really nice half cover that has Velcro for the antenna's and elastic straps that keep it on the bike.  It also folds up small and neatly in its on attached bag.

No slits for the antennas - I just bend them forward over the tourpack/backrest, only trouble is to remember to grab them when taking the cover off or else they'll hit you in the face. The cover will even fit over my large Saddleman luggage when it's on the bike which is nice when the weather is iffy and we stop for a meal or extended break.

One thing that bugged me is the cover has metal hooks that you place under the footboards to secure the sides and they do not come with any coating on them - I bought some Plasti=Dip (or maybe it's Plasti-Coat), the stuff you coat tool handles with and put it on the hooks to protect the bike surfaces
