How much water do you think gets inside a typical fairing?
I’d guess (based upon my professional opinion), that the rating offered in the product description only refers to the exposed surfaces (the screen area).

ALOT!

this pic taken back in 2020 after a 6.5hour ride, in the driving cold British rain and it caused a major issue! (and me to wrap my then Sony 7000 and add a bat-cape).
*pic taken 24hours AFTER the bike had sat and before I washed it

it's why I still run a 309 Custom Audio bat-cape under the wing and over the wiring, even though these days my HDHU.14si is as waterproof as the OEM radio

309 custom audio. If I recall they have a Facebook site and you have to message him. I have one too and it's well worth it

309 Custom Audio is about 30 mins away from me and I had them do my TechnoResearch flash on my OEM Boom GTS. Great guys to work with, very friendly, and willing to take the time to talk through your questions/issues. Highly recommended.
