Bike cover that will not be burnt holes in by hot exhaust

My local Beemer supplier is unable to come up with a good bike cover that I can throw over my R1150R without frying the cover on hot pipes when the bike has just been running.
Surely there is a product out there that addresses this issue in a proper manner?

I've been using a Nelson Rigg FD2000 for about 4 years now, about 20 times each year. I throw the cover on within 5 minutes of parking my bike. No holes yet, but I do make a slightly conscious effort to keep the cover from touching the pipes close to the cylinder heads. I'm pretty sure I have the XL size, because of my barn door windshield.
They ain't cheap. Shop around.

Just ride in and pull it over the bike; no worries at all about anything touching hot surfaces. It also has the huge advantage of having a floor - keeps a lot of the moisture out, something a cover can't do.

But, this cover is not allowed in Buffalo Grove...Lake or Cook County part...sorry.
Now, if you lived at 673 Aspen Drive in BG, that would be a different story...
