I've looked over the forum and found no information on travel/storage covers for the K1200 LT. Any opinions of which one I want to look at? Are there any out there build to fit over the radio antenna?

Food for thought...
I would definitely break up covers into two categories.

A) Travel covers
B) Storage covers
My cover is a full-size cover, custom made to fit the LT with velco-surrounded holes for the radio and CB antennas. It's great for when I store my LT in my garage for winter...or just want to cover it for protection. But I've only taken it with me on one trip. It simply takes up too much valuable space.

Travel covers are ususally 1/2 covers for keeping rain/dew off the seats, and to keep wondering eyes at bay. They pack small.

I purchased a WPS nylon cover a while back. To accommodate the antenna I reinforced (sewed in a 2" x 2" piece of light canvas) the appropriate corner then installed a rubber lined gromet. Packs away nicely while on the road and works as a temporary garage outside a hotel. Covering a bike while at a hotel keeps accessories out of sight of would-be thieves.
My HD riding pals give me some grief for "garaging" my LT but I find it gives me peace of mind.
