Bike cover?

Bike cover?
So I'm trying to find a decent bike cover that won't scratch my bike. My old universal cover scratched up my tail about the light pretty good from the wind n what not.
I thought I remember seeing a cover that had lining inside to prevent this but I can't seem to find it.
I kinda liked this one but the description makes it seem like it only has the protective lining along the windshield but I'm not really sure.
It might not have to worry about scratching if its a tight fit, my old one was pretty huge!!
Anyone have any suggestions?

I have a CoverMax motorcycle cover. Great quality.
Also, I also discovered awhile back when I needed a new grill cover, that it also worked great for covering the bike. :-) Its a lot cheaper than a motorcycle-specific cover & does the same job. Got it from Costco. Made by Patio Armor. Dimensions: 68" L x 24" W x 42" H. Fit the F4/F4i perfectly. :-)

I have a DOWCO Weatherall and love it. Super heavy duty material.
However my tail paint has slightly worn away down to the primer because of wind as well.
While camo looks cool, i've always though of a cover as keeping the bike "out of sight and out of mind". dont want to bring any extra attention to it. I think that flashy camo cover will do the exact opposite of "camouflage"

I'm sure you are talking "full" cover, but I recently got the CoverMax half cover (medium 107521) and it seems to have decent quality material on the inside of it... And it fits pretty snug with the built in elastic and velcro tie-downs... Maybe the full cover might be similar quality, if not better even...
I feel very lucky I have a spot in my girlfriend's garage for the off season... Whew!
Good luck with your search!

I bought one off ebay earlier this summer. I won it for $0.01, yea one cent. haha so i figured for a penny I couldnt lose. ive only used it a few times at work. but seems to do what its meant to do and has a little ventilation to let moisture out. pretty good fit. and has a strap to go under the bike and attach on the other side. and the front and back slide under the wheels very well. cant complain for a penny

Heres some pics. it looks really wrinkly cause I had it crammed wet in my trunk since the last rain. PS- its usually tighter along the bottom I didnt attatch the bungee hook that wraps under the bike to connect both sides at the bottom.
It also came with this nice little baggy lol, but i can make it fit in the trunk
