I recently got condensation on the inside of my speedo on my fatbob. The best solution I could come up with was to duct tape a large desecant pack I got at lowes to the inside of the instrument panel. After a few days it managed to draw the moisture out leaving behind a couple of water spots on the inside face of the speedo. I was just wondering if anyone had better ideas. I garage keep my bike but will ride in any weather since I commute to work so not riding in the rain isn't an option

condensation on speedo
Sorry to pirate your thread..
Mine doesn't get condensation, but it looks like it has in the past and you can see the underside of the glass needs cleaning..
Is this easy to disassy to clean the bottom side of the glass or is it integral to the speedo (to prevent tampering)?
The vaccum line sounds interesting..if you have efi did it mess up parameters with the now induced vacuum "leak"
thanks

I was thinking of hooking my exhaust to it with a small plastic line to evaporate the whole area of any moisture. That ought to wick the bitch out of there.

Apply vacuum the same way you would to remove moisture from an air conditioner.

Amazing !
Well apologize for my lack of ability to grasp such creativity. That is definitely some innovation there. It's not that big a problem for me to do that, but aways glad to see new ideas.
