I'm converting my RE to a diesel, and I want to replace the diesel's extremely ugly air filter with something a little classier.

It's relatively easy to just add on a K&N pancake or cone filter. But i'm a little concerned about conditions (rain mostly) and am wondering if there are any aftermarket air filters out there that come in a housing to protect from the rain, that people have used on their RE's...?

I suppose I could set up something using the original RE air filter box, but that wasn't the best looking part of the bike, either

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Your converting to diesel and your worried about an ugly air filter?

[geoffbaker]

yep.

Ya'know, sometimes big and ugly can be beautiful.

how bout some kind of snorkel tube using the right radiator hose with a
K&N at the end...   might be kind of an industrial look...

You could do something like this (done on a ural) to protect the K&N filters.
