I want to find a cover that will protect the bike (from sun more than rain) and will not take up very much space.

A search revealed very information on this topic, some using Electra Glide covers and another recommending the brand Exigent (http://www.exigentbikecovers.com/).

Anyone else have one they would recommend?

Sorry, couldn't resist

I bought this one and it works great with with Caribou/Buell luggage system.

I am really happy with it. Very compact and well made. $48

Irelage: What size did you get? How small does it pack? and Do you have any pictures installed on the Uly?

I got this one

Deluxe All-Season Cover, MC-904 Black/Silver, X-Large @42.95

The Beaver Tail is up on the bike and I don't have my Pelicans on but the cover just fits over the Pelicans with the tail up. I am very happy with this cover. Good quality nylon with grommets for securing the cover to the bike. The cover stays put on very windy days without securing it down, just held in place with elastic at cover bottom.

In the following post you can see the stuff sac that comes with the cover. The cover stuffs nicely into the bag. Easily stores inside my motorcycle helmet when in the sac or a tank bag.

Thanks, that helps a lot. I especially like the size perspective given with the toes in the right picture.

Looks like a great option, thanks again.

The toes are attached to 4 broken bones in my foot. My KLR fell on it during a dual sport ride in Northern California. I am offline for a month or two.
