According to Harley-Davidson Warranty - Bikes ridden in the rain will no longer be covered under the manufacturer warranty due to the possibility of shrinkage, rust, and/or mold.

Make sure the rain doesn't mix with the blinker fluids.

A Harley isn't a dirt bike, snowmobile, water ski, or mud buggy. It's not to be ridden in the rain, snow, grass, rocks, on wet pavement, or anything that could void the warranty. Keep your Harley in the garage where it is shaded and a good cover is a necessity.
