I'm looking for a good 1/2 cover for my Interstate. I know they have been posted on here before but I can't seem to find them in search. I would like the stretchy kind that are quick and easy to take on and off. I'm not concerned so much about blocking rain but blocking sun UV rays. Thanks for your help.  cooldude

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.

Ive ordered a couple from them. Real nice people to work with. Rip stop nylon with elastic around the edge and 2 elastic bands to go around foot pegs. They have them for Valks already. The last one I ordered was for the Tourer with HD b'wing fairing. He called me to make sure of what I wanted and sent it right out.  cooldude Best cover I've seen.

meathead....I have a full cover as well as a half cover from these people.

They pack really small and are a great cover.  I probably use the half cover more than the full cover, but both are great.   cooldude

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Here's the half I have been traveling with for years.  Will pack to near softball size, dries quickly, easy on and off, no metal to scratch paint, not fully waterproof but 98% of water runs off and does not soak your electricals.  Some mornings, the dew is almost as heavy as rain, and this cuts the majority of dew on the bike.  I do not have Ultimate seat covers, and with this I have never had my seats retain water.  With the supervalk, it drops down to cover most of the backside.  Also tourists will not stick their kids on your bike for pictures.

These are expensive and intriguing.  (like a condom but with no ribs)

These are the guys I been usin'....

Not a half cover, a full, but very light weight & packs small, 'bout the size of a Nerf football.
Have been very impressed with their product.
I bought a second one when I found it on sale cause I figured I'd only get about a year outta one. First one's goin' on 2 years & still doin' fine.
(Although it has faded to a light "ash" gray all over.)
Easy on, easy off, easy to pack in provided stuff sack.
I use mine everyday for the same reason you mentioned, sun protection, but I also sprayed mine with two coats of Kiwi Camp Dry Heavy Duty Water Repellent. I'd say it turns 95% of the water. There's always standing water pooled on top of it when it rains.

This is the specific one I got & it fits the '05 Wing like it was custom made for it.
Caint beat 'em for the price IMHO. I was pleasantly surprised cooldude
