Travel cover

[Texanrider]

I'll be going on a trip in a few weeks with a group of friends for 5 days. Wife and I will be staying at a different hotel at every city because we get a great discounted rate so I am thinking about purchasing a cover for the bike (c-10) for added safety overnight. I have a big mutazu trunk on the bike and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what brand/size cover that would fit?

I am actually leaving Saturday for a week to the Smokies and surrounding.  I am taking the Vstrom and bought a half cover to be able to cover up my stereo equipment at night.  The one I bought for my Vstar fits it well, but I don't have a trunk. They make the same one I have for a Goldwing (or bikes with trunks) that would probably work well.  I will try to attach the links.  And I like the half cover when traveling because it takes up less room in my bags.
Here are a couple:

I usually don't worry about security other than locking the steering column.  Purely your choice.  Park in a nice location up front or ask the check-in staff if you can park under the front entry.  All the "valuables" come in at night.  I usually just lay a towel over the seat for dew.  Then just use it to wipe the bike off in the morning.  If I take a cover, it is the $20 X-large Walmart one.  However, if it rains, do you really want to deal with a wet cover and have to secure it to the bike somewhere and get your wife's stuff dirty?  I didn't think so.
