I just fit a set of these on my pod filters. I haven't tried them in the rain yet, but when I do I'll report back.  They are ~$13.50 from http://outerwears.com and come in several colors. |

Are those just to keep water out, or do they also provide some desirable airflow effects?
I've seen them on the waspworks kit and wondered if they did any dyno runs with lots of air blowing over them, like you'd see at speed.

They keep out water and dirt. I rode with them today, and the bike ran the same as it always does.  |

The red is off half a shade. Man... its a tough audience around here  The WASP filter socks are made by outerwares - I got caught in the piss-pouring rain a while back and they kept the K+Ns nice n dry  |

I searched here and came up empty. I've been looking for something like this for a while and learned about them on maximum-suzuki.com  |

Less power It's been proven on the dyno that removal of the airbox on a 4V decreases power slightly. I don't have a number for you. |

It's a few horsepower. If I were really worried about horsepower, I sure as shit wouldn't be riding this bike or any Ducati for that matter. |

I see.....  Although I dont understand.... I dont understand how the ability to inhale more air - and if balanced with accompaningly more fuel - how that can decrease power output? I'm not doubting what you say in any way - never hurts to suck up to the mods - I just dont understand  .... WASP are putting out Dyno charts showing +4hp for their M1100 kit (which I suppose consists of more than just pod filters.....). Educate me. And sorry for the minor thread-jack.... |
