Wet Electrics?

Bring new to the world of Sport Touring, I've never seen the need to add XM radios, or radar detectors, or GPSs, or hair dryers to a bike.

What about Water proofing (water resisting)? I suppose your radar detector/XM/GPS stays relatively dry being the wind screen when you are at 40 mph or more, no?

I realize most people surly remove their radar detector or radios when they stop and leave their bikes, but the switches probably tend to remain on the bike. ...are the switches waterproof (or weather resistant)? Where can someone find one like that?

Does anyone make a water proof radar detector/ GPS?

Thanks

Just some samples of what I've done or looked at.

Heavy Duty Switches and Boots, Inexpensive Radar Cover, More Expensive Radar Box, and a Water Resistant Garmin that includes MP3 and XM.

I learned from an LD rider just use a rubber band over a hotel shower cap. Grab the caps when staying overnight. Small and compact and work quite well for a quick fix.

Thanks, all good Ideas. Hopefully my first farkle (whatever that happens to be) will make it thru my first wet ride.
