Hi
Not much use on the transalp, but I use these filter skins on my xr and they work well. Its like a sock that goes over the existing filter and they came in a pack of 3. Just pull the dirty skin off and slap on a clean one. Maybe something for you Wright.
On other bikes since then I just used some womens tights/stockings folded double and fitted over the filter which work just as well. For best results they should be oiled but this is a no go on the paper filters but ok on a k&n.
But on my old transalp, filter behind the side pannel, I was also worried about it at first. But it proved not to big a problem. A trip Europe to Australia I replaced it once and used compressed air to blow it clean (opposite flow) a couple of times. A trip Holland to Ghana I just checked it know and then and it didnt get blocked. So unless youre really hitting the dust solid for weeks I think ti should be ok.
Hope this helps a bit.
andy
