I don't either, but if there were a easy way, I'd take the time to......even tho they're made to be exposed to elements, direct water spray can't be good for their longevity.  ??? spyder

I've never covered mine, but I also try to avoid spraying water directly on them too.

Nothing at all but use the cycle dryer around speakers and always run dehumidifier around bike after a complete wash to make sure she's DRY!!

I asked this question once when I bought my first bike in 2005 and the dealer said "What do you cover them in when it rains"? I got the point. I do put a grocery (plastic) bag around the air cleaner when steam cleaning the engine then remove and dry. Thats it!!

Yeah, X3.  Just because they're designed to be weather proof doesn't mean that they won't suffer with a lot of direct water injected time and again.  spyder
