Default Big Sucker rain cover sock

I am looking for a source to purchase a pre-filter/rain cover for a big sucker type K&N filter. Something similar to the rain cover used on the SE heavy breather. Anyone seen a cover like this?

Are you getting it because you think it looks cool? It shouldn't be necessary. I had the BS on my 03 Lowrider, and while I live in the desert, when it does rain here it's a torrential downpour. Never had an issue with it either.

Now that I think of it, they didn't even offer a rain sock for the BS filter. Do they even offer one?

I mainly wanted to use the sock as a pre-filter to keep the bugs out of the folds of the filter. I am not that worried about the rain.

Rain - no problem. Bugs - no problem, either and no sock on the filter. FYI: Where I live we have plenty of bugs day and night and I've had no issues with my coverless Big Sucker element.

If you want a rain sock, a dealer can show you a Drag Specialties Fatbook with a bunch of them in it.
