Default Rain cover for 2014+ aftermarket radios?
I am looking at upgrading my stock radio with either the Pioneer AVH4200 or the Sony XAV-AX5000, but neither radios are audio grade. Does anyone know of a company currently making a weathershield for those radios? I know Scosche makes one for the older touring models, but so far nothing for the Rushmore bikes.

XAV-100
I got caught in a 3 hour down pour/thunderstorm and I did not have any issues. I did use a shield on the back end but that’s all I’ve done for waterproofing. Have you seen this video?

I think Shimmy’s is the only one making a decent cover for the XAVs. Hope that helps.

Is this radio using the Shinny cover or is this the stock radio being wet down?

When I had my Can-Am Spyder, I added a radio. I went cheap and used a sandwich bag to cover it from rain. Worked great.
