Check out http://www.gezagear.com/

Thier covers are easy to put on and compress into small bags that fit easily into a small backpack.

What a letdown!

I thought this was a female member talking about the dangers of nude sunbathing.

A small towel over the seat helps - I hate sitting on a red hot sun baked seat

If you don't want to go with a cover, the second best thing would be to apply a good wax/polish that blocks as much UV as possible. This will slow the breakdown and oxidation of the clearcoat polymer and pigment degredation.

I clean my bike with Honda spray/polish, and it is supposed to have UV protection etc.

Time is the true test though, and with only 3 months in the sun I can't tell.

Hey that Geza Cover looks good.... who here has used one?

Oh and I generally just use Plexus for majority of my bike parts to keep it looking smick and i've got no complaints

I don't do anything to mine and it's held up just fine. My Fox tank bag is another story though...
