Fzr 400 air filter issues...

Hi guys, back again...
Been riding my new build for a few weeks now and I have to
Admit it's by far the most fun iv had on two wheels,
But, I live in nutorious London where it loves to rain
But the Fzr hates it...

Iv got cone filter pods on
Along with the standard tank and due to the design
There's a nice little gap between the frame and tank fairing.

When it rains my bike sucks in water :( and sounds like a 125

Has any one had this problem or does any one have any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks guys

(I can't put standard filter back on as I have things mounted in the tank)

can you put something within the tank underside to act as a kind of 'skirt' to prevent the rain getting through in the firs place? or even a shroud around the filter bank?

Make something like a plastic cover that can be attached to the tank to cover up the hole?

TD,
ModKing has a picture of his bike with the tank off and pods filtered with a Metal skirt that stops heat and moisture getting to the inlet air.

That seems like my option at the moment, think I'm going to try and glue a bicycle inertube to the in side...
