That's what I want one for. I've rode in some torrential down pours with my BS II and the motor never missed a beat. Those damn bugs that get down in the bottom of the pleats are a real PITA to get cleaned out.
I've used "vet wrap", you pick it up at a farm supply or vet store. It's like a $1 a roll, comes in different colors. Kind of like an elastic gauze that is water repellent and sticks to itself. It's just about as wide as the filter, so just make one or two wraps around and your done.
I had the Big Sucker 2 on my Fat Boy and rode through hours of some ridiculousy heavy rain on the way to Americade last year. Also my bike sat out overnight in heavy rain the same trip- never had a problem (although it makes me sick to think about it!)
