It has to be genuine HD rain, dealer-installed. Otherwise the warranty will be voided.

With a note from your mother and a one-humped oxen for
the village elders on the other side of town, you are given permission
to ride in the rain.....but you must be home before mud season arrives.

You have to install a big rain cam, rain jugs, rain pistons, a rain pipe, and rain slip ons. But check on a rain download too.....

You guys are crazy. Everyone knows it's OK to ride in the rain, as long as your bike doesn't get wet!

When riding in the rain you need to let all of the air out of your shocks and reduce your tire pressure 4 lbs.
