Default nylon top bike cover

Does anyone know if someone makes a nylon top cover? Just looking for something that will keep the dew (and bird poop) off the bike on clear nights while traveling. Also when stopping for something to eat and there is a light mist, it would be nice to cover the seat, tank and bags. Something that is easy to put on and take off and stows in a small bag.

Thanks

I bought a half cover for the ultra on ebay. Worked very well when a full cover was not needed. Jim

I carry a small washrag in my bag to wipe the seat.
figure if it is wet outside the rest of the bike will get dirty anyway

I've been using a cover from Skn-it. It packs into a small pouch and easily fits in the saddle bag. I use it everyday at work and its been holding up really well. Lite rain rolls right off. Some water does get through in a heavy rain tho. Overall I've been very pleased with it.

I haven't used this, but I have seen several bikes with them. They look really sharp with some of the logos they can put on them.

Check out Wally Mart. $19.95. I use mine for road trips only & it packs down nicely.

Oxford Umbratex. This half cover will also cover your bars and windshield and packs up in a very small bag.

I use a waterproof half cover from Exigent. Packs very small.

I have this one. My OL got it for me...well her cause she was tired of burning her rear end on the hot seat when we go places.
