Hmmm... sounds like a potential new marketing tactic for HD, the semi-submersible Heritage Softail!

They sell anti-fog solutions for diving masks at dive shops. That should do it - won't brun your eyes like shaving cream or windshield defogger and should work better.

Next time you have the wheels off, I'd definitely check the bearings and grease or replace as needed. May not be an problem, but better to be safe than sorry.

You should look at a dive shop. They sell anti fog for dive masks, and it works well.

Another vote for having your bearings checked. Bearings don't like water. Cheap insurance to check them now.
On another note, I thought I had been in some deep water, but up to your shins!! Holy cow, I'd be freakin', but would have been good to see the looks on the faces of all the cages when you went by.

Nice...I wonder how many people watching you decided to go out and buy themselves one of those waterproof motorcycles?

Man - "Honey...you see that? That guy just rode his Harley through a lake! I'm gettin' one"

The best was because my bike was PUSHING through the water, it took a lot of effort, therefor i had to really twist it in order to even move much ... now remember im going under an overpass ... LOUD is an understatement hahahahahha

I bet some people must have blogged about me or something LOL!
