Seems from what I've seen here, the water issues was where water was getting behind the glass. Not sure about the buttons though.

Does it list a IP rating for water resistant? They don’t have any info on their website

None of the specifications are brave enough to claim water resistance that I can see at the moment, it'll be a true hit if it is.

Thank you, not to bad for a Geezer Glide for sure.. The one take away I always get is "Man, we did not expect that out of your bike". It was fun, I just pulled the bag speakers and will pull the fairing speakers this weekend. Going a different route again. Let's see how it does in St Louis at the end of next month. Make the trip down should be a Grand ole time, with a lot of buddies from the forums here. Gann, Tailwind, Gypsye, SBates, ADenton, a few others and myself. Come on Down!!
