proper cover fit

I unfortunately have to keep my KLR outside (apartment complex) and need to
purchase a cover. Which size seems to work the best? Should I go with the cover that
is fitted for Honda Goldwings, or would the Sport Bike size be ok?

This just in from "The Great White North",
Didn't Sir Devon of Wal-Mart suggest a plastic "bed wetting" mattress cover
sheet at one time.
Queen size I believe......

I'd go for the bigger one if you are tarping and untarping often. I bought
the sport bike cover (at Wal-Mart) because the dimensions seemed right but I
forgot to account for the KLR mirrors which jut out a lot. The cover fits
but only barely. A real pain to put on though it is nice and snug once it's
there. I'd rather have a bigger cover even if it meant strapping it down on
the really windy days.

I'm 6'3" and 350 pounds just out of the shower. Works for me.
I think it is a good first bike for one of our size.
