Out with the old, in with the new

Odd replies.

I don't think there is any such thing as mud in S Cal

Hey Muffduster. I basically ignored your first comment but then you decided to be a pest and post in my topic again with your childish nonproductive negativity. Where are the MODS on this site?

There is nothing wrong with this lid. It's much cheaper then the EHS lid and does the exact same thing. It keeps the air box very clean. I ride woods and dunes and tracks. It won't repel a bunch of water but it keeps my other filters cleaner longer.

Appears EHS has some competition. I own the EHS lid which does have some water repelency to the material used however the protection from water does wear off over time. EHS does market replacement material at minimal cost to rejuvinate the water repelency factor. This is an advantage when riding in wet and muddy conditions.



I've tested with and without the EHS lid in comparison to a identically modded machine and noticed absolutely no difference in performance. There was no air restriction from the EHS aftermarket top as I would assume you would experience as well.

The only way you might improve air flow is by going to a boxless K&N with prefilter but there are negatives
to that set up also.

The materialed tops do provide some benefit when slinging sand also if you are duning and want to keep the box clean from large sand particles.

Looks like a nice set up. cost??

These run $80 from RMATV. There is no repellent on the fabric. I'm pondering a light coat of scotch guard before my next ride.
