I see ads for motorcycle covers that say the bottom part is heat
resistant or something that implies one can put the cover on as soon
as he stops the cycle and when the muffler is very hot. Is that
really true? Is it even true of the cheap ones? Thanks

You probably could do that with a cheap one, if you didn't mind getting
tarry melty crap on your muffler and a hole in the cover.

Well, what could you do with a good one?

Well..... Dowco says to wait 5-10 minuets before placing the cover on.

I really don't understand the cover thing unless you plan on using it at
home in maybe an carport just to keep prying eyes off your bike. We have
people at work who cover their cars, but soon it becomes old and they soon
avoid doing it.
I find motorcycle storage space a premium as is over the space I would lose
by carrying one of the things in a saddlebag. Not to mention the
posssibilty of a wind blowing your bike over with one of those sails
attached.
However, I have used one of Russell's Day-Long "seat only" covers to keep
condensation off the seat while camping. The bike had a Velour seat top and
need protection from rain. Still the cover did take a bit of space, but not
as bad as a full one.
I'd also worry about the thing scratching the shield, imho.
