Motorcycle covers
I want to pick up a cover for my bike so it's not in direct sunlight all day at work, and to keep it dry in case of a light rain. I searched but really didn't find any info. Just lookin for anyone that can point me in the direction of good brands and models and away from any crap brands

thanks in advance!

Nelson-Riggs had a light duty slip cover a while back. Works as a day cover like you mentioned. Covered the headlight/fairing/mirrors and tail light. Hung about half way down the side of the bike.
Bad part about bike covers is they all scratch the body in the long run.

Wal-Mart has one that will work for like $15. It even comes with a little pouch. -- R.

Don't buy a cheap one. Make sure it has a felt or soft fiber liner in the upper fairing area to prevent scratching your wind screen.

I have one that is like a tent. It is breatheable and waterproof, and has a soft lining. You park your bike on the bottom and then zip it up. It cost $200 but is a great cover. It is not easily transportable though because of the size, so I only use it at home in the garage. Keeps the bike clean at all times.
