Is this unit waterproof ? If mounted on the handlebars of my bike , or another exposed location , I need it to be water proof...

I believe it is because it has the flip cover top. However if an electronic device is plugged in perhaps I'd have concern as to whether waterproof. ?? Not sure.

The unit has a spring tension door which closes, of course. It does seem waterproof to me, and I have had mine installed for nearly a year on my motorcycle which sits outside only having been covered several times, mostly when it snows. Still I want to start placing a baggie over it, when not in use. I only use it for my GPS so far, but it always works. Oh, I have used it in the rain at least twice that I recall. I just place the GPS in a baggie and it works well, best at night with the baggie actually. Hope this helps. Not important, but I do see the red sticker is beginning to fade from the sun. Oh, my new battery has been working fine, so I guess there is no drainage due to water leakage, shorts. The unit has a spring tension door which closes, of course.

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

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 would say its very water resistant not waterproof. I have it mounted under my back bumper for camping. Its been there a year and works fine. The inside of the unit shows little sign of corrosion. The spring lid snaps shut and holds tight.

I've used this on my bike in light rain conditions and everything inside, including my phone, stayed dry. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would say this is water "resistant," just not water "proof."

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!

I am not sure if the unit is waterproof, I am guessing it has some water resistance built in but I am guessing if it was they would say it on the packaging.

yes, GPS303C is waterproof, although, I recommend to install it on a dry place, just for security measure. depending on the motorcycle´s model, the best place to hide it, it´s inside of the air filter´s compartment ( it´s a dry place, not very hot, and a very good place to hide) just trust me, I already try ximico mini GPS and you´re going to waste your money, just invest a little more money for an exellent product like GPS303C GPS

No. it's not water-resistant. I rode it under heavy rains and had not problem at all. As long as it's not submerged in the water and should be ok.

Mine has been waterproof. I have had it on my Kayak for 2 years now and its always dry as a bone when I take it out. Its sitting outside in full weather too.

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.

The unit should be waterproof. For more accuracy please call 800-835-5011 and inquire about item DPP400W-0-8.

It doesn't seem to be totally waterproof. We use it indoors and as a dust cover outside. Fits the touring bike real well.

Well, it's not waterproof. And being outdoors generally speaking,exposes the components to moist weather (humidity, dew, drizzle, rain,snow etc...)

It is not water proof. With that being said, I have only experienced a light rain when riding out here in southern California. I left it on and did well. And I do mean a very light rain of about 3 minutes. If rained harder I would have taken it off. I would not use it in a rain storm. Also, looking at the manufacturer specs, it does not mention anything about it being water proof.

It might void your warranty as the manual states that riding in the rain is not recommended. With that said, I commute to work on the bike in the rain fairly often and don't have any problems. I've taken the steps others have suggested and installed fenders and waterproofed the battery/controller. It rains a lot here and this bike has performed perfectly, even in pretty heavy downpours.

It is waterproof...I leave mine out year round...in harsh below zero weather to 100+...not a problem.

It actually depends on where you're mounting or installing it. Yes, it's waterproof, but applying your own seal wouldn't hurt.

the guy is probably just making a joke. Technically NO horn is water proof. By that I mean you can't fill one up and expect to make it work. As for mounting it and just rain. Mine is mounted on the exact same mount as my original Harley horn and I ride 365 rain or shine. Only problem I find with the WOLO seems to relate to cold and lack of use. It tends to delay on cold days in building enough pressure to play and if I don't use it for a while it delays a few seconds.
