I will never buy another
I have a 2018 Heritage, the Speedo constantly had condensation, it was replaced once, but the replacement did the same thing. My solution is to live with it a little while longer, trade it in on a Japanese bike, and never, ever buy another Harley!

Maybe it never happened on any of the bikes you owned but I've personally seen it occasionally with other peoples bikes on every brand of mc out there. In addition, a simple google search will reveal owners groups of all the Japanese mc's of people who complain of the same issue from time to time. Not implying the owner should just accept it, just saying it's not an issue exclusive to Harley's, never has been.

I never noticed any fogging but I did notice there was some staining inside the speedo on my 18 Fatboy , took it to H-D dealership and they took pics and sent it off to Harley , a week later they told me a new speedo was there for my bike but that it might not be any better than what I have now ... WTF . obviously they've seen this problem before . haven't had it put in yet as the bike went away for winter storage and havent made arrangements yet this spring to get it in .

hi from Italy and same problem to my FLSB...the insurance will cover the damage and I will soon bring the bike to the dealership to replace the part. Less than 600 kilometers and this problem, what a nuisance!
