Is the radio water proof for handlebar mounting?

I have not mounting my yet because I think you will have to make a rain cover or mount it under a fairing it does not look like it can stand a lot of rain if you were riding

i kind of doubt it but you could use plastic grocery bags to cover unit during bad weather or when you wash the bike good luck

I am of the understanding that it is waterproof against rain and splash, but immersion is not suggested. Mine has not given me ant problems mounted on the handlebars. I am an all weatherrider.

I love mine. Yes water proof. But make damn sure you don't hire an idiot to wash your bike. He power washed the speaker directly into the speaker grill. The inner cone popped loose and I asked Kuryakyn for a replacement speaker. Was told they only replace the entire unit. Looked elsewhere for one that would fit. Kuryakyn made sure it's an odd size. Got out my tools and glue gun and carefully repaired it myself.

Hello sir. This is a marine grade floating submersible radio so it will hold up in salt water kayaking. For more photos I recommend going to Uniden's website.

It is as far as I can tell. I have this unit on my R-1 and it has been there since February. I have left bit out in the rain, sprinkles and down pours. I have also ridden many times with it on in the rain.. I have not had an issue with it. I also have it attached to my handlebars. I hope this helps.

I don't see any problem with that. You have to cut a little hole in the end of the grip so it can mount inside the handlebar. My advise - Don't leave home without it.

I had a marine radio several years ago that was waterproof but the mike finally went bad and I could not find a replacement mike . I think that was a Uniden brand.

As of right now I'm using the stock radio and it works well. I do have a nice Sony I've been thinking about mounting and if you look around you can find an adapter so you can still control the radio from the handlebar. I would suggest also getting the small tweeters from Hogtunes that mount around the Road Glide gauges.

No , water resistant yes but not proof . Hide the amp under tank , seat . Neck cover or in a bag . Plant of wire to reach . I own 3 and they are great . Many people I meet ask what I have cause it's very clear . I also hook my phone to it and use IHeart Radio. My Radio works well as it came with a antenna .

O rings have been secure enough for me, at least for the two months I have been using the mount. I'd suggest getting a couple of spares for each bike . . . just in case. How will extended periods of sun and rain affect them? As I said, just in case.

I am not whether it is waterproof, but based on the description of the products, it should be. It comes with two screws and you can mount it anywhere. I mounted them outside of my garage. By now I am very happy with the purchase.

i wouldnt advise you to ride in the rain without covering the battery with a plastic ag especially where the plug on the bike slides into the battery terminal.the battery costs too much to take a risk of causing water damage .i would also try to protect the trottle in heavy down pours.

It is not water resistant Gregory. If you attach it to your motorcycle with a piece of velcro, water will get to its battery compartment with unknown results,........if you get caught in the rain or if you wash your motorcycle with it attached to it. I bought mine also for motorcycle use and I keep it in the left pocket of my leather jacket. It is quite thick and I can easily grab it and extract it from my pocket to read it, even with my gloved hand! Constantin.

It doesnt say waterproof on the radio itself, doesnt really look waterproof to me. It would be good on a boat, if you dont drop it in the drink!

Sorry not real sure about water proof! Works well though, I mounted it on a electric golf cart but its not wet very often.

no. the amp is not water proof. U have to cover it up when it rains. Mine got wet and stopped working. But once it dried out it worked again. Mine is still working good. I've had it about a year. Still happy with it. The radio never worked hardly at all. But the flash drive works good.

I installed it on my bike handle bar and I never have any problem with it during our bike ride. It rubber band secured the light very well to the handle bar even in rain. It survived the road vibration...
