When traveling, on overnight stops I lock the ignition and the forks and then I put a half cover on the bike. The half cover doesn't really add any security but it keeps everything on the top part of the bike out of sight. I also make an effort to park the bike in a well lighted area and if in a motel where it can be seen by the desk clerk if possible. Maybe I have just been lucky but I have never had anyone disturb my bike while parked. I have come out to find the bike on its side because a careless driver bumped it but that i am sure was accidental.
I think you should do what makes you comfortable but shady people seem to have lost interest in motorcycles.
