my bit of foam is more like a pre filter the water gets on the airs box and soaks into the filter where you say it stick out then works its way into the air box.
I dont know how the water gets in the, plug at the bottom is water tight and i've cheaked it. I filled the sink and put the air box in it and there as no water getting into it.

water normally gets in round the foam bit of the filter! on the lid
i have some fish pond filter foam on mine to stop the **** getting in
power is more linear and not as snatchy. Although it may not rev completly out every time
you just described mine!!! but i do tend to ride on the clutch more! ie pick the revs up and feed the power in to find the grip. so im poss a bit rich, 2000 montesa screw out to lean off??
i have used a DC one sind 97 and had no trouble though i did modify it to ad a long bar that goes up from the rack rests near the foot rest mount and alows me to loop over the seat with a strap. i than have one from the foof of my van to the handle bar to stop it swaying on braking acceleration.
i have had one bike on rack and 3 bikes on a trailer aswell.
one point of legality, you tow bar has a wieght limit of XXkg and you will exceed this.
i use a witter and its ok, i even bought two tow bar mounts so i could use both my vehicles if misses had one.
used to put it on a fiesta and it knew it was there but was ok.
i recomend it and best thing is when bike is off just lift rack out and store.
forgot another thing i did was weld a ring to the bit on the tow bar so i can padlock bike to van so stop the scum of this world walking off with bike while im in services (pub) etc
