Hi guys, long time no post, and this is a tragic one. I just moved out from California up to Boston and as they were unloading my baby from the truck it started raining. The area which I had thought I could store the bike in my new house was not large enough. I couldn't get the running boards past the doorway. Thus, my poor bike just sat outside in 4 days non-stop rain up here. Does anyone have any advice or tips on a checklist of things I should check out before I start it up. Places to check for water ingress or corrosion, mabye even possible rusting points? Has this ever happened to anyone else here? I'm really upset about this whole thing and I want to make sure the bike is protected.

Also along those lines can anyone recommend a quality outdoor cover for an 06 roadie? Like I said I live in Boston now so its definately going to rain on it. Also it should be noted that I have a sissy bar on the back. I looked at the factory Yamaha one and it looks great, just slightly expensive. I'll have no problem laying the money down though to protect my bike as long as I know it's quality. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!!!
