Air kits, hyperchargers and rain riding

    If you have an air kit with the element exposed, or a hypercharger with the
    butterflies (Kuryakyn), is there a problem with riding in the rain?

    I noticed Thunder sells rain covers for their kits. Are these necessary, or
    just something they sell for people who worry too much?

    TIA

    Get an original air box, very good performance on most
    bikes, and live happily ever after.

    A water soaked paper filter element will make a lot of
    resistance. The exposed air filters are often very badly
    tuned and the hypercharger is a bad taste joke.

    YMMV
