I’ve been riding my cycle to work everyday and I’ve been wondering if it is possible to prevent my paint from fading in the sun.  There are no shade trees anywhere near were I park, and I can’t get next to the building to shade it in the later afternoon.

I don’t want to “cover” it every single day I ride, but I guess I just might have to. 

Does anyone know were I could find one of those Half covers that only cover the handlebars, fuel tank and seat?  I’ve seen them at rallies but haven’t found one in any shop.

I ride my 1998 (Blue and Cream) to work each day and cover it (full cover), bike looks like new. 
I have a Nelson Riggs top of the line cover.

I cover mine all summer,but buy the disposable ones from wally world.
I've never seen a cover last more than 2 years no matter how much you spend.
The sun will eat them away quickly if used often.
