    Thanks james

    i have one on my vc and when it rains i have a vinyl cover (with elastic) that goes over the front of the opening.

    sure i'm not getting the cold air for which the scoop's intended, but it keeps the air filter dry

    yeah the old street hornet scoop is very nice, I had one on my vl a few years ago and never had any problem with water getting in, I used to drive it in the rain and wash it with no plug in there and it was fine.

    but if he puts on a ram-flow filter, for example, he will have issues in the wet weather
