Default Protection ideas
I'm currently looking for a way to protect my amp from getting wet. Water keeps finding its way inside my fairing and it's driving nuts.

Any good DIY hacks or tricks to stop this?

Get one of those super thin plastic cutting boards and make "roof" over the amp with it.

Thin plastic cutting board and duct tape. Also used a 1/16" neoprene strip where windshield meets inner and outer fairing

Maybe try to pinpoint the area where water is getting into the fairing and take steps to seal that up.
