| Next time you're in a hotel, don't put the shower cap on ...Take It!!  then you can put it over your breather when you wash it.  | |

| they work ok. they are a bit more exposed, but ya dont normally have a blower or turbo gulping air. your leg is normally resting near the front of the aircleaner blocking a lot of the rain. also, if it is raining that hard most people are not haulin butt. ya taking it easy or hunting cover.

Just a put a plastic bag or shower cap over it when you wash it and it'll be fine. | |
