Anyone have a half cover that they would recommend getting. Want to cover the bike while at work

Fits nicely on the B, keeps the rain/sun off, easy off/on, and packs very small.
I've got the "Nelson-Rigg UV-2000-04-XL Silver X-Large UV-2000 Motorcycle Half Cover" for about the same price. It fits perfectly even if I have a bag on the passenger seat and the rear of the cover "catches" nicely on the rear of the my luggage rack.
I have a real cheap half cover I used on my Wing. From the photo of this it looks similar. BUT mine is not wide enough to slide down over the saddle bags on my 'B. Does this Ultra Guard cover go down all the way over the saddle bags when there's nothing on the rear seat?Quote:

If I remember correctly, several of the less than "3" star reviews on Amazon where for scratches on bikes. My Nelson-Rigg hasn't scratched the bike but it fits nice and snug over the front cowl and windshield and the Big Bike Parts luggage rack in the back. Almost like it was custom made for my bike.
It doesn't cover the saddle bags at all but there water proof when closed.
I guess what I really want is a 3/4 cover.Quote:

I don't have a luggage rack so it just kind of grips the lip at the rear of the bike above the taillights. It's held on through pretty high wind, but also sags too much and pools rain water.
Thanks for all the information and choices
