I'd only buy a cover that has an elastic bottom or some way to tighten the bottom. Other than that they are pretty much the same stuff besides some novelty pockets.

Default head light coming and going

my friend has a 05 f4i...his headlights have started to come and go...he has a cover for his bike...yes it has vents...but there is condensation sometimes when he takes it off. could this be messing with the wires? it started after he had covered it a couple times.

All covers are going to let in condensation. Can't wrap the bike in a bubble. And cause you can't, water on the ground under the bike is going to evaporate up and condense inside the cover.

This is about the only thing I can think of that might work: CycleShell Enclosure

DOWCO Weatherall covers are by far the best out there for year round outdoor storage...
They make a sportbike size which fits perfect. they are super rugged and have plenty vents to keep out rain and let out moisture.

I bought 2 brand new off craigslist for 40$ a piece

I have one of those cheap $20 wal mart covers. they blow away easy, that's the only gripe i have about them, so i usually use a bungee to keep it tight. keeps mike bike dry in the rain and out of the sunlight, it does what its told.

I only have mine for when I store it in the garage for the winter. Try putting it on carpet? I know car guys do that to not get flat spots, however, wouldn't it at least keep the water from evaporating as quickly?
