Bike wont start after a hard rain
I have an '08 Street Bob
I was traveling with my bike on a trailer when a storm hit out of the blue. It rained on my bike for two days while driving through three states.
It started right up when I got home and parked it in the garage on Monday. It's Wednesday and I went to go for a ride but my bike wouldn't start..... I had to put it on the tender and it only clicked, wouldn't turn over at all. The lights stay on when it's connected to the charger but when it's removed, the whole thing dies off. Water came out of the fuse box and water was all in my speedometer. I know it shorted something out but I'm just not sure what all it has affected. I'm guessing it screwed up the ECM & ??????
Anyone have any issues or luck in repairing this? Or know what's going on in there??

First off introduce yourself and welcome to the forums.
Too many people post only when they have a problem and then 3 exact same post won't get you far
Well for one you posted in the wrong section.
The Harley Street is a water cooled twin not a air cooled twin.
