I recommend and purchased a Honda OEM dust cover for $225 from dealer, and use it when I garage more than one night. The cover is custom tailored for s2k, its inside flannel lined cotton, fits perfectly mirrors, aerial, exhaust pipes, includes a storage bag, etc. and I am 110% satisfied with it. Initially, I tried to go the cheap route, but I could not seem to find a cove that would fit properly. My s2k's paint is outstanding in it quality and the expensive cover is worth it for insurance to me.
I park my s2k in a 45 x 105 ft. garage with my other car and landscaping trucks and cover keeps the dust off the car's paint and windows.
Cover includes usage and care instructions and I can share my experience for your potential benefit: Use only the common brand 'Fantastic' spray cleaner for detergent. 'Fantastic' is recommended by the cover manufacture because it does not leave any residue like most if not all other detergents. I found this to be the truth.
Find a commercial coin laundry with large machine and a spin/dry centrifuge. Wash cover in COLD water, 'dry' in centrifuge, DO NOT use dryer to minimize shrinking, and hang it on a wash line to complete.
Some time ago I found out I made this 'fatal error' using ' Tide' to wash cover for a former car. The car cover became contaminated with detergent dust, which settled on the car every time I used it, despite my continuous, innumerable, repeated, relentless rinsing, and never used the cover again. "Fantastic' eliminated this problem.

hey skip, thanks for that bunch of info but why go buy a brand new one for 225 like you did you did, if you can just got and get one for like $100 from someone else thats just like new. And then you can wash it in cold water to make it nice and clean.

Unfortunately, I did not know about this website until this January, so my only option for OEM dust cover at dealer. Either silicone from tire gloss and/or oil residue eventually does soil this cotton-flannel cover. I use "Fantastic" and cold-water, cause I don't think cold water alone will get it clean.

A new one cost $166 at H and A so I can not offer anyone anything above that price even if you paid $229 for it. Sorry.
