Default Lightweight cover for touring

Ok gang I sure it has been talked about before but what are you folks finding in the way of nice covers that are lightweight and small when rolled up to fit my Ultra . We are riding to the 105Th party and would like some thing to put over it in those hotel parking lots . But the wife want small and light weight so she does not have to give up her itemsLOL .

I bought a solid black fitted bed sheet from Targets for $10 bucks. Works like a champ.


The >$100 cover I bought when I first took delivery of my bike stays at home in the box and has never been used.....LOL....

I bought one of these and like it alot. Its made of tent like material and packs down to about the size of a head of lettuce.

Good quality and its made in the U.S.A.

Try Walmart. Bought one there for $20 that fits just fine. Get the XL size. Good for travel.

I also use the 1/2 cover from Nelson-Rigg when I am on the road. It is a good cover at a reasonable price and takes up very little space. It is similar to the Harley 1/2 cover but is only 1/2 the price and doesn't say "Steal me first" (Harley-Davidson) on the side of it. My first Nelson-Rigg 1/2 cover lasted about five years before the stretch cord in the side wore out.
