Default 18' FLHTCU with 6.5 boom audio

I haven't had this bike long enough to get caught in the rain or have it left out in a rain storm, but am I just worrisome about the sound system and touch screen getting drenched or is this not an issue?
First bike with a radio, so I'm a little green on this end of it.

I have not seen/heard of ANY problems with the boom HU failing from water issues. Not heard any problems from the stock speakers either.

I've been caught in several downpours, never an issue.

Okay thanks, I kind of figured it wasn't a problem but I like to hear from people who've experienced it.
