I have a full cover and a half cover, I rarely use the full cover.  Don't know why your purchasing a cover but I find the half cover less bulky and easier to use.

I picked up a 2xl cover for my interstate on ebay about 10 years ago. I use it for winter storage in garage to keep dust off and when I tour.  

I'm not saying it is as good as a Dowco, but serves my needs and packs small. I paid less than $20 at the time, and similar are under $30 now.

+1 Half covers are great when traveling, for those time you have to park in the sun. For my driveway, I use the full cover to deflect rain when it comes when I can't move the bike into the garage.
