Default Going naked

I have a 2015 SGS. I'm running V&H Oversized 450s, V&H V02 Grenade AC and FP3. Just curious if anyone has had any issues with the naked set-up as far as performance, when you're surprised by rain, what set-up you went with on the FP3, etc. I know the FP3 has a set-up for running slip-ons, but is there an alternate set-up when the naked AC is introduced. Thanks for whatever input you can provide.

Was told that there isn't enough difference, the tuner doesn't care.

I run open element breathers on my bikes. Rain is not a problem while the engine is running. If it sits outside in a rain, it will soak the element, then you will have a problem. Might want to cover it when parked if expecting rain. I cover mine with walmart bags...L...Might look stupid but it works. If it gets wet, need to pull it off and blow it dry, should be good to go.

Just curious why you changed cleaners? Was it a performance thing because you weren't getting enough through the stock one to feed 103" or was it looks?

It was primarily for looks, and I figured I could get max air intake that way. The V02 Grenade looks great.
