Filter skin recommendation(s)

[Ben 500RR-S]

I want to run my stock Twin Air air filter dry, but with a skin over it.

What would you recommend?

Dry air filter becomes wet.....water becomes ice.....ice stops air.

I'm with Racin Station...I tried to run a filter under a skin and it choked the bike out. Build a cage and just run the skin.

My filter cage already has a screen built into it. Can I just put a filter skin over it and go with that?

Yep

What all does everyone cover when "snowproofing" air box? I have always ran a pod in the past but am going to run the stock setup on my new 17 Crf450. Just block off holes in side plates with prefilter material and call it good or will I need to get more in depth than that?

I just cut out the bottom of my airbox so snow will fall out. I then removed foam element and made a “shower cap” from frogskinz material for the filter cage. I also added a thin piece of weatherstripping where the cage meets the airbox. I didn’t feel like I could stop the snow intrusion due to the factory airbox being so open. I have also ordered some slp fabric that I will make another shower cap with. The guys on here say it won’t clog up as easy as the frogskinz material. I have the 17 crf450rx

I’ve been looking at the intake from c3 powersportd. Carl’s cycle also posted an outerwears cover for the new bikes right after I made mine. I couldn’t find one anywhere online but if you want to purchase just call them. That would be the easy route and cheapest I would think

I am going to try out this intake pod set up on my 15 KTM 500.

I plan to just remove front rubber boot from airbox and run it.

It has a fitting for the ambient air sensor built in too, which is pretty convenient as well.
