Might be worth putting a fender extender on the front mudguard bigchris, it'll stop a lot of the water getting flung up there. I've been caught out in heavy rain on a few occasions, never had any misfiring in the front cylinder.

Put some into the groove on the wide part of the cap so it squishes about when you put the cap on, bit more over the top as well, job's a good un.
