My experience with velocity stacks is dust isn't just the problem but, also rain and debris. That is a simple fix though a perforated intake cover can be purchased for a few $. Still the quality of the JM intakes craftmanship is great.
Thanks for the feedback! Quality better be good for that price! lol

Joker Machine quality is top notch. I got the air cleaner from their first production batch, since then they have added different styles of covers and I am sure, if anything, they have made improvements to the machining of the piece. I have had zero issues with mine. The only engine stutter I have had was during a downpour that I shouldn't have been riding in anyway. Light rain has not been a problem.

That's good to know. I have a Forcewinder on right now and it makes me feel awkward on the bike at times...can't get my right leg against the tank.
