Hi Gaz, most bike shops sell bike covers , you can get them online but be aware you will get what you pay for , some are not as good as they are  cracked up to be, the one I bought for when I have the bike in Brisbane , I bought it believing it was fully waterproof as described but the first time it rained I may as well have left the bike uncovered.

The one that I use is the "Rjays Lined Motorcycle Cover"   
They can be found online from many stores (Just make sure to order the BC6 - XLarge to fit the ST)

And here is a link that shows some pictures of it on an ST :thumbs

This cover has protected the ST from Rain, Sun, a MASSIVE hail storm, and stopped a lot of damage when the ST was pushed over (Not all damage but a lot)

How long is a piece of string?

I've brought a few over the years, just cheapies because all I want them for is to keep the dust off when the m/c is sitting in the garage.  If that's all that's needed, these may suit.

I'm with Michael, cheapies have done the job for me. I use the $15 (saving 39 cents) cover sold by "Cheap as Chips" here in SA. The upside is it fits in the LHS pie warmer. The downside (and there are a couple), it's a tight fit if you have the top box attached. The other is it doesn't have ties and when I visited Melbourne last year, the weather was poxy as usual and the cover blew away overnight. The cover had lasted some 6 years so I reckon I got pretty good value from it.
