Default radio in the rain

Gotta luv the rain! Had a nice ride in the rain this morning, but was a lil afraid to let the radio get wet. I had a lil condensation in the radio display when I got home... is this normal? Im sure it will dry up but are there any covers available for the radio or is it pretty weather resistant? Doesnt seem so resistant when I find condensation.

Don't know about the radio, but headlight and t/s light lens' can be removed and dried out. At least on mine; I usually have to do that after a good wash.

Keep the MP3 plug in place and you should be fine. I rode 500 miles in the rain on the way back from Sturgis last year. Radio was fine. Can't say the same for my iPod though. It was soaked through as was my cell phone. Got to the motel and took the cell apart and used the dryer in the room to dry it out. Finally got it working, but the iPod was toast.
