Question Packable/Travel Motorcycle Cover??

What Packable/Travel Motorcycle Cover does everyone use? How small does it pack up and is it decent quality?

Nelson Rigg MC-100. XXL easily fits over my Heritage with tour pak and windshield. Also have one for the wife's Deluxe. Very light weight, strong and compact. 1 year no hassle warranty. You can order direct from Nelson Rigg or from various online vendors.

Bought an XL from Walmart for $35CAN. Comes with a nifty little carry bag.

Use a large trash bag to keep the seat dry. What else do you need?

Good point. But a large part of the reason I use one is to discourage theft. If they don't see it, they might think it's just a Honda.

Exactly. Plus, when I was camping last year I got some sap or something on my pipes when the bike was parked overnight that burnt on and was a PITA to get off.

Since she has a tour pak also I use the same size xxl. With just a windshield I think an xl would probably work.
This is nelsonriggs sizing chart:
