Link doesn't work. But the Ness air cleaner is not water proof. Ness sells a rain sock or the Harley one would probably fit

Waterproof? No. Otherwise, not a lot of air would pass through it. More like water resistant. It keeps water from dropping/splashing directly on the filter element. It's not absorbant and sheds water but water can pass through it.
