Why are you confused?

Have you ever tried to put a full cover on a hot bike?

I don't understand why they don't make covers that don't melt.

Very good point. I had a full cover for when it was cool and at home, but it was too big and I did not like it.

I guess I'm looking for a half cover to keep the sun and bird crap off the seat/tank/screen area.

I use a Dowco cover and it has aluminized sides so it can handle some heat from the pipes and engine.

Wally-mart sells some covers pretty cheap...

I have a Nelson-Rigg UV2000 half cover for my Harley. They make different sizes and come with a belt-pack carrier. Daughter has a JCW full cover and yes, a hot pipe will melt it. ::)

I have a full size dowco also, a well made cover. Did manage to poke a couple of holes through the top from the points on my flame mirrors, but solved that problem by slipping those foam can cooler things over them before putting the cover on. Have to park under a huge tree filled with birds dropping bombs and squirells urinating. It's not pretty, I pray for overnight rain most times.

All you need is a fire hose and a monitor. That'll take care of the dam b&s's ;D
