Default Sock for a Big Sucker??

If I'm overlooking something, I apologize.. I put an Arlen Ness Big Sucker on my RKC this winter. The cover on my breather is just the flat, chrome over the end, so most of the element is exposed. I know most people say that under normal circumstances, rain is ok, and I normally try to avoid riding in the rain. But stuff happens, so I'd like to find a sock to keep in my bag for torrential downpours... I've looked on HD's site, K&N's site and Outerwares... Arlen ness doesn't have socks... I think the filter is 8". Either I don't know what I'm looking for, or at. Anyone have one of these breathers and found a sock for it?
Thanks,
Bill

I just baught one from K&N it was part number HD 0800 DK if I am not mistaken. It was like $22. You can go into a HD dealer and ask for a rain sock.

I got one from HD, but it was too small, this filter is larger than stock...

Does it fit the Big Sucker II? The filter on it is larger than the BS.
