Rain :-(
Really dumb question (I think). I rode to work today because the forecast showed no rain until 6pm this evening. I live in Oklahoma so I should have known better lol. My question is the bike was sitting in a pretty good down pour for about 30 mins. What concerns for damage should I be looking at? It is an 05 Ultra Classic. I need to invest in a cover I know.

Water in the AC is always my first concern - then again I have an AC with a 360 opening so I make sure I throw the rain cover over it once the drops start to fall

depending on what A/C you have, that is the only real problem you may have to look for. They are built to ride in the rain.

If your seat is anything like mine, it will soak up water, and your butt will be wet on the way home

AC = air cleaner and rain won't hurt anything except a wet butt like Shooter said.
