Red! And don't forget to attach a very large REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT tag!

Is there a specific color that works best or should I go with the plain ole rubber duck pattern? [sm=smarty.gif]
Thanks for the advice.

I use a cheap old shower cap. You can get them at CVS or similar for about $3.00 to $5.00 for three of them.[sm=smiley20.gif]

I am thinking about ordering a set of these to replace the black rubber stock breathers. What do you all think?

How do these exposed filters perform in heavy rain? I don't like riding in the rain but I tour and sometimes spend the whole day in rain.

The 'mod' looks good, but I'm not sure how well the open element would handle a few hours at cruising speed in heavy rain.

Went for a short ride today and while riding I remembered I had some 3/4" chrome "snap caps". When I got home I used my sons RC truck tire glue to apply them directly to the black rubber breather tubes. They were just a little small to cover the whole area but look pretty nice compaired to just the rubber. Now all I have to do is wait for X-mas for my chrome backplate & chrome EFI cover to finish the job!
Thanks for all the great ideas!

I don`t ride in the rain very much but I plan to carry the football in the saddle bag for those times when I get cought. It will be right there with my rain suit. When I have to stop & put the suit on it will only take a few more minutes to throw it back on.
