Sounds like the water got in somewhere crucial and is preventing the components from telling the coil to spark.
Don't laugh now, but try hitting any suspect areas with WD-40. I recently learned the WD stands for water displacing. It was initially invented as something that could remove water. But it is flammable so exercise caution.
This is surely frustrating and thankfully it doesn't happen often to Harleys. I sure hope you find the source and get it sealed.
I rode with a group of 15 bikes from south WI to the eagle rehab place up in Minnesota. It rained on us for almost 90 minutes but not one bike quit running. So, when things are sealed as they should be, Harleys can run in the rain.
Hope you get this solved and get back on the road.

how does it handle?Well the Bimota stands for the epitome of Italian design and if it ain't good you won't find it on a Bimota. I haven't driven one but have read reports of how the geometry does not allow the front end to dive unnecessarily when cornering or braking. It continues to take the shocks (wherever necessary) but no undue diving. This should translate to better control and improved confidence when riding at higher speeds. That taut feel is something we could all use.,,,

chek your connection where the alternator plugs into your engine casing & spray it with electrical contact cleaner
SOURCE: 2000 road king code 16
Code 16 indicates that the ECM has seen a battery voltage of less than 6.2 vdc or higher than 15.5 vdc. The most common cause of this is loose or dirty battery cables or shorted rectifier.
To access codes, turn the ignition switch on for about 3 seconds (one second after the fuel pump stops running) then turn the ignition switch off for three seconds. Repeat the above procedure. Then turn the ignition switch on again and about 8 seconds later the codes will start to flash through the check engine light.
If there are no codes present or there is a code and it does not appear again the code will clear its self in 50 start/run cycles. (Start/run cycle is defined as engine running for at least 30 seconds and off for at least 10 seconds.)

Could be the fuel filter but I'd bet money on the fuel tank vent. Loosen your fuel cap and take a ride. Don't take the cap off, just loosen it a bit. If that cures the problem, buy a new fuel cap.

I would take the carb apart running through water shouldn't hurt it
