Pod covers? Do they exist?

[RJz1100E]

Does anyone sell some sort of plastic or vinyl covers for the pod filters? Or has there ever been such a product?
My carbs are being rebuilt by chef and I'm going with K & N pods that I will put on along with new intake boots and clamps when the carbs come back.
I'm thinking ahead to when I want to wash the bike this season and how I can keep the pods from getting wet other than just covering them with plastic bags or just trying to avoid hitting them with the water. Also to keep moisture out during storage.

Cheers,
RJ

RJ,

I sometimes cover the PODs with plastic bags when I wash the bike but I usually just try not to spray too much water directly at the PODs. I've never had any problems. The filter oil does a good job of keeping the water out. I've never worried about moisture during storage but I keep the bike in a heated garage.

Thanks,
Joe

Found these on the web. The "Drychargers" are supposed to be water resistant. They don't have a specific one to fit my pods, I guess a person could make one of the other model numbers that are close work if one wanted to. Guess I'll just go with the plastic bags.

I just use a standard T-shirt bag that you get at any retail store. It fits almost perfectly over all four. I always carry one around if I think it's gonna rain and I'm gonna be parked. I can't see spending extra money on something to cover them. Nice thing about the bag is you get to throw it away when it stops raining or you're done washing your bike. There's nothing more annoying than having to figure out where to store or hold one more thing while you're riding your motorcycle. The six pack of beer in between the legs is tricky enough.

Wow sounds like a great new business to get into "Pod Cozies" or "Pod Socks" (sounds like a baseball team from RI) or how bout "Pod Condoms" with extra sensitivity. Just kiddin

I've been running pods for 10s of thousands of miles and have never given a thought to them getting wet and I've been in some mega down pours while riding long distances. Never had an issue. The K&N goop you spray on them doesn't come off easily without their cleaner.

My problem is usually to much goop so having a little wash away isn't alway bad.

I don't point the hose at them or get soap on them but other than that I never give them a thought. How can you run the bike with plastic bags over the carb intakes doesn't it choke the engine?
