This may be a dumb question but I thought the Arlen Ness Big Sucker stage 1 kit was meant to use the stock a/f cover so that it didnt need a sock?

If you read most posters' comments, very few have even recommended a rain sock, even in heavy downpours. I always wanted to get one for an absolute deluge for my stage 2. Couldn't hurt, I guess.

You can use the stock cover or you can get covers from Ness to keep it open. FROZENSOUL there is a rain sock from Ness Part # 18-060 or the Harley one will fit Part # 28728-10

I have the Big Sucker Derby Cover a/c - Are there specific rain socks for these 'inverted' air filters (the smaller end of the cone is toward the engine)?

No need for sock...if it's raining hard enough to affect intake then you'll be sitting under an overpass waiting out the downpour. A little water in the motor won't hurt a thing...drag racers inject water into motor for boosted performance. You'll be fine w/o sock...JMO.
