Default Rain Sock Problems

Screamin’ Eagle Heavy Breather Rain Sock 29493-05

Has anyone had a problem with the Heavy Breather Rain Sock letting water into the motorcycle? I rode thru a huge storm and the motorcycle lost power and then malfunctioned. Felt like the bike went into first gear at 60 mph. (almost threw me form the bike)

I took the bike to the dealer they told me to put my leg over the air intake when it stats to rain.. REALLY I’m changing out… Anyone else??

I have rode in all kinds of rain, all day and, in really heavy rain for a couple hours over the last year and a half. I've not experienced that at all. The only problem with the rain socks is, the mechanics never put them back on and I have to buy another one. .haha
