I'm looking for a motorcycle cover that will pack down to a very small package.
I like the idea of having a cover on my bike in motel parking lots, but don't want to give up a lot of saddlebag space for it.
Any suggestions?

I don't have the company name, at the Sedalia Rally there was a vendor selling moto covers made from parachute material which had elastic border and packed down to the size of a grapefruit/softball. Reasonable price.
I have a BMW brand product that is a travelling cover, doesn't pack down quite as small as the one above but doesn't take up much space. I like the idea too of having a cover for parking lots, etc. Keeps wandering hands away from touching the controls, etc.

All you need to know:http://www.eztouring.com/ Been using mine for years on the road. Everything you hoped it would do.
Recommend the model called "The Traveller".
Luck favors those who are prepared.
Might have been this company. I bought one and kind of like, but I really prefer to cover the entire bike.

Bought one out of Hong Kong off flea bay. It was $12 including shipping and arrived within 10 days. It has lasted through many trips high winds and heavy rains. Not waterproof but reasonably resistant. Use sopme tent spray and it will be reasonably waterproof. Here is a similar one available in the US for just a few dollars more http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Motorcycle-Co...#ht_1240wt_902
It is a light nylon with good elastic and squishes down to the size of a 1 litre bottle. Works great just to cover the bike and keep morning dew off
I use the full cover from E-Z Touring but it does come in a half cover as well. Packs quite small.

I have E-Z Touring "Travellers" for both of my bikes. Great design, well made and pack small.
The cover from Aerostich is the ultimate in these. It's very strong and durable, installs and packs back up in a minute or less, and packs up into a space not much bigger than a softball.

It's a bit spendy but totally worth it.
I got a UV2000 half cover for my '78 airhead w/a Hannigan fairing. The large size covers the fairing and saddle bags ok. The fold up size is about that of a light jacket - it comes in a fanny pack for storage. I am still trying to understand why it's storage bag is a fanny pack belt.

we have a few of these by Nelson-Rigg in various sizes. I too laughed at the fanny pack style pouch...ended up strapping it down to other bags at times and used it as a backrest as well
Got a EZ tour model with a used bike we bought...it does pack a little tighter than the Nelson-Rigg
