Default Air Filter Problems Need Solutions

So just wondering if anyone could post up pictures and solutions to sealing up the air filter from water. I don't own a Brute Force, but I would like to get one someday and I would like solutions. I'm guessing others out there would like a cheap solution and a creative way to do this without buying a snorkel. It doesn't look like Kawasaki is going to be covering this with a recall, so hopefully this gets the attention of people that have not waited and found a way to save their engines. Thanks guys.

If the unit is not sunken like a sub, but still getting water inside the air box when ridden in shallow (12" or lower) it is coming through the air intake mouth as front wheels kicking in water.

I don't have a pic but take a look at one of these Kawis - BF650 SRA, P650 or P700. They all have a thing called - inner fender kit. You may want to modify it (by cutting/trim) to fit on the 750. Kawi also sells a kit but that looks too small to be functional.

Default brute air intake

ive ridden my brute in water almost to the seat and never got water in the box, if water is getting in there that would indicate a clamp is loose or something

What clamp?
It doesn't happen all the time. Deep water almost to the seat doesn't mean it will always happen either. For the kicking up into the air intake, it has to be certain depth, not too deep and not too shallow, and the vehicle speed.
