There is a pair of UNI's on ebay right now for my bike...opening bid $19.99, would they be worth that?
My two cents is ..that it's a waste of money NOT to buy REAL K&N's the first time;)
Of course mine have ONLY been on the bike since 1978... so I almost have gotten my moneys worth out of them. ( that's a joke incase someone didn't catch it )
As far as problems with pods.
I have had NO problems as far as I can remember with my REAL K&N's. Maybe.. once when it sat outside in a down pour it was harder to start MAYBE. But the oil helps with that.
The reason I stress REAL K&N is that many companies sell "K&N style" pods just to hook people into thinking you are getting the real deal at a great price.
I am guessing here..but I would think that the style of bike would make a difference on wind and rain. As the side covers would cover more or less of the filters. Also some folks say their leg placement affects it..
I'm old and ride 99% of the time in the same place/style. And TRY and stay out of the rain if I can.
I'm sure other will tell you to do a search on this subject and add their own two cents..
