If nothing else, add a weep hole in the back left corner of the airbox floor to allow any water that might get in to drain easily.
I'd bet you could drive that airbox in hard rain and it wouldn't miss a beat. First it has to get in those holes, then it needs to get thru the K&N, then it needs to get down the velocity stack. By the time it gets there, it's misted, not huge drops, and the engine just vaporizes it.
I'd probably re-oil my K&N after riding in a heavy rain, however.

This is what I did to the bottom of my airbox.
I used 3M Flu tape, which they use on flu's for fireplaces. Went on easy. And cost about 8$ for a roll. And i used approximately one whole roll on the bottom airbox. |

I rode in HEAVY rain with my 1200S sportster, open hamcan and k&n filter. Maybe once or twice it stuttered, other than that, no probs whatsoever.
I wouldn't worry about it. |

Believe it or not, I doubt very much that riding in the rain would be a problem. I've ridden in torential downpours with the forcewinder exposed filter, never a hicough. I had water injection on my old '70 Chevelle SS. When the boost on the turbo exceeded moderate levels the water injection would kick in to prevent detonation. Better and cheaper than octane boost or premium/super grade fuel. The water injection was merely a window washer pump with a set of different nozzles. In the winter you add some alcohol to the mix. <hic!> I mean to the inection reservoir! 
The bike sitting out in the rain might be a problem if the water had not good path to drain. I bet he has a good path to drain though, it's built in from the factory is it not? |

Bio-not trying to steal your thunder, you got yours posted before I could figure this uploading thing out!
I did this over a two day period. The metal is from the gutter drain covers. 6 sheets for $6.95
Then I stuck Blue LED lights in under the lid with velcro. This thing looks AWESOME at night!!
I am still kickin around the idea of filling in the letters, or just letting people wonder. Those of us who know---will know. Those who don't, maybe I will let'um keep on wondering. What ya think?? |

Looks great! Where did you get the power for the LED's? |

I wired with a relay off of the fuse box. The LED's actually came from AutoZone. There are 8 led lights in a one stick configuration. So I only had to wire up one wire to supply power. |

I was thinking you could tap into the power for the exhaust valve actuator thingy, since the wires are right there and most of us don't use the thing anymore? Also I wonder what the laws are regarding blue lights? |

I used a Dremmel with the carbide bit. Then finished the edges with a claycarvers knife. Then sanded with 220grit.
And lots of patience!!! |

This is what I started on this weekend, but the weather became 60 degrees so I put it back together for a day or 2.
