Rain
I just bought a '96 Bad Boy. It has the Hawgsbreath intake on it. That is an intake with an exposed K&N filter on the end. I was riding in the heavy rain the other day and the bike was running soooo bad. It stalled a few times and I didn't know if I was going to make it home. I finally did, and I pulled the air filter off and there was some water in the intake. I know water isn't good for an engine, but how bad is it. Could I blow the motor? How can I ride in the rain without getting water in this intake? Thanks.

RE: Rain
pococj, checked out your pic gallery. Some nice looking bikes. Don't think I saw any I wouldn't want to ride 
Superglide, If you gonna keep the filter I saw this rain cover once a long time ago. Slip it over and you should be good to go. Never used one either though so don't take my word for it.
