I was thinking the very same thing. I've taken some 2 or 3 day trips, and have found plenty of room on the Spyder to carry everything I need (including rain gear for me, which takes up a bit of room). But I'll be gone for a week when I go to Spyderquest this fall, and have been thinking about how to carry everything I'll need for that trip. I've concluded that a couple of terrycloth rags will be much more efficient than a half-cover for the Spyder (which probably doesn't care all that much if it gets wet at night).

I got the Nelson-Rigg half cover I ordered, and I think it's going to be perfect for what I need it for.
Pros:
It folds up small enough to fit in one of the sidecase lid recesses (my RT came with the Hopnel cargo nets already installed - handy).
It takes a minute or two, tops, to put it on.
It allows for a lot of air circulation beneath it so I don't anticipate it will become an oven under there.
It was $40 (including shipping).
Cons:
It's not exactly a custom fit. Based on the box and flyers that came in the box, it will fit virtually any Spyder from a GS to an RT. Still, it covers everything I think it needs to cover, and it fits well enough that it was a) clearly made for a Spyder, and b) isn't going to blow off in a windstorm, so I'm not bothered by it.

Thanks for this feedback. Just ordered the same one from Amazon a few minutes ago... ($40.99) Free same day shipping so I should have it this afternoon.

1/2 cover, whos best
Not to start a war but overall who's cover seems to be the best built? Here in southern New Mexico the sun eats most vinyl in a year or less.
Whos have good luck with what, and would recommend for the long term
