there is something to be said for stock airboxes..negative pressure is created behind the engine when moving..this is where pods are trying to pull from.an airbox is desighned to overcome this and also feed all 4 carbs with same pressure..i know there is merit in pods but an original intake setup only lacks in velocity apperture opening size..easily soughted with aftermarket air cleaner and velocity ring.just my 2 cents

yup take them off lol

seriously though get 2 - 2litre pop bottles and chop off the bottom and make a slit down the side so that the inside gap between the ither filters are still there then slot the bottle over the filters and clamp down on the filter clamps - do this to the two outer pods and it will keep the rain off them - the tank will cover the other 2 - short of that get some yoshi cold feed kit carb covers - airtech sell them and they will cover the pods - but wont keep the rain off them whilst riding unk

my stock airbox seems much easier..my point about air pressure stands.on a dyno hp figures are different than when doing 200+klm...negative air pressure behind engine:nonoonce again my 2 cents:cheers
