any tips on cleaning out the cowl?

Guess once you get it cleaned out you have to keep it cleaned out or your engine will be sucking all the crap out of your cowl and into the air cleaner element! Still, I like it!

The air cleaner does the cleaning for me! Stored in garage when not driving, so very little accumulates, not more than usual, as not going down a lot of dirt roads, or sitting under pine tree's.
