Mine's in the glove box in the right lower. I use it when I wash the bike.

One of these days I'll have to slow this slate/black bike down a little so I can see which is  the fastest between the red and blue bikes.

Should have had Debi take a pix of you girls behind us the other day. I'd have proof to back that statement up.

I do not use the sock    No problems   Then again I dont ride in rain like most    I will go a 100mph to the nearest bar with a overhang

Sounds like when you put your rainsuit on, you need to put your sock on, too.

Rode the interstate to Daytona and got wet. Forgot to put the sock on and didn't have a problem. Good luck.

No. But sometimes yes.

That was an illusion in your rear view mirror

Q, what a beautiful bike!
Will we see it this year in Maggie Valley?
Hint, hint.

One never knows where I may show up.

I keep it with me and put it on every time it rains.
It may be a bit of over kill, but I would rather be safe then sorry, and it only takes seconds to put on.
That's my 2 cents Chip.

We traveled around Lake Superior a few summers ago on my 03 Wide Glide, we ran in rain for 175 miles one of the days, what a miserable day. I have a stage one kit in that bike with a K&N filter and stock cover, while we were riding that day it rained hard enough that my bike was cutting out due to water in the intake. Because of that experience, I leave my sock on over my heavy breather, I don't like the idea of water getting into the motor all that well.

One thing no one has mentioned-----there is virtually NO penalty in performance when the sock is installed.  It may not be quite as pretty with it on, but it doesn't affect performance.

Has anyone done a dyno with sock on , sock off.
I would think there may some change and I would think AFR would change due to some restriction of intake.

I have mine off most of the time but put it on if it looks like rain and certainly don't take any chances in a dry windy/dusty environment .

[hawgzilla]

As I said, there is virtually no penalty in performance.  And I have tested many on the dyno.  AFR is not affected because there is basically no change to airflow.

Rode through a band of thunderstorms yesterday, some hail as well, I put the sock on!

[crackers]

Have not been caught in heavy rain with this bike yet but have been caught in heavy dust storm and the sock went on right away. Got home and washed it out and it was really bad so this is the main reason I carry it......Kansas is flat, open and many times windy and seems I have to go through it to get where I want to go to often.
