It is not just a matter of fitting a "HOSE" to the air intake of the engine you need to prevent water getting into the engine through the breather pipes and to waterproof the electrics too.
so it is quite complex.
I’ve never done it to a quad but I have to a 4X4 vehicle.
With that you have to run small bore pipe from the axle breathers up into the body of the truck onto a common rail made out of drainage pipe.
That was then connected via flexible hose to a junction made from domestic pvc plastic drain pipe. This was then connected to the air cleaner and then lead up the front door pillar to the roof and capped with a U bend. All joints were sealed with silicon sealer to prevent ingress.
On the engine silicon grease was used to seat the distributor cap and then a rubber wash glove was then pulled over the High tension leads by cutting small holes in the fingertips and feeding them over the leads and then sealed using cable ties and silicon grease; the same was done to the spark plug caps but the fingers were cut off the gloves and used individually to seat and seal.
So for the bike you’ll have to do the same but to a lesser degree.
