    K&N style pods getting wet

    hi all

    so it was bucketing down this morning on the way to work and my k&N style pod air filters filled up with water. the '78 gs750e ran like a dog by the time i got to work. does anyone know of some type of cover you can get for wet weather, or has anyone found a better solution. my filters are paper - i've been told i cannot oil them like proper k&n's.

    cheers

      I would convert it back to a stock airbox and filter.

          You need oilable filters like K&N or UNI. Or just don't ride in the rain!

              Yep, real K&N's are worth every penny. I rode for days in POURING rain with mine and had no problems.

                  i thought so

                  thanks for the reply guys. yeah, i guess i should have forked out the cash in the first place rather than going for the cheaper option.
                  in the meantime, i'm working on a couple of ideas to cover the filters. i'll post solution when/if i have it done.

                  cheers

                      does anyone know the source of where to look up the k&n part numbers for filters for our bikes?

                          yeah, I had a non k&n filter on my car, and when I washed it (it was junk) and it was wet, virtually NO water flowed through. I know k&n makes filter covers for their bigger stuff, not sure about pods though
