I was about to recommend the Oxford cover but it is completely lacking compared to that.

I've been using the Oxford Stormex. It's gotten my bike through the Winter fine, but I can't say I've tried lots of others and compared. The Oxford one is sturdy, lined and has pockets (which I don't use) on the back and front for things like solar-powered battery tenders.

Are there any issues from putting the stormtex cover on a warm or wet bike?

Never been able to get a straight answer on the subject.

Possibly because no one really knows and wants to go out on a limb. My routine is that I park up, lock the bike to a ground anchor, go inside and take my kit off and then walk the dog. When I come home (30-40 minutes after parking up, approximately), I put the cover on the bike, rain or shine. I've not had any issues, but that doesn't really answer your question. I'm guessing that waiting only 5-10 minutes would be plenty to avoid any heat issues from the exhaust or engine. The cover seems to breath well enough and have an absorbent lining, so I've not noticed any issues with covering up a wet bike, either.
