K&N look alike filters & the rain dont work well at all!

Going down a nice road i love to go down outside of hull tonight with my mate on his SR50 (old shape xD) anyway its been slinging it down all day he thought he would be a funny guy and try and get me soaked by going through a puddle, bad decision!! his open filter sucked up a nice gob full of water and his ped came to a hault it wouldnt start at all i have never felt so sorry for a ped but all i could do was laugh at him!! looks like these "high performance" airfilters dont go very well with the rain do they.... i think he might have fucked up his engine because of the water that made it into the cylinder..... :/

These "high performance" air filters are crap and a waste of money best of sticking with an airbox on a 50/70

the k8n ones are shit the best i have found is to be the small polini round one with plastic top to it back pressure is much better with that and i thought everyone knew to take a half of a plastic bottle with them if they had a open filter i ended up leaveing mine on for a long time
