Here's mine no issues to date.

I run with out a cover and use a shower cap when the bike is parked outside and rain looks possible.

rain sock

I was reading this and got to wondering if there's a rain sock for the AN Big Sucker... So, is there? I may need one eventually.

Put a woman's stocking over the filter. Don't use a fishnet stocking though; you don't want your bike to look like a *****

I also run coverless. I've been in some nasty downpours with my ride. No problems. What I do find is I am cleaning and oiling the filter a lot more than most. I need to come up with some quick detach hardware for it. lol Those three torx screws drive me nuts.
