Liquid and streaks in gauges
#21
Had the same issue with mine. 2015 SGS. Dealer replaced gauges ( after complaining about the water inside twice). Started within the first year. They changed out under warranty. Have been fine since. Don't give up. They will and should replace under warranty. They did try to tell me at first it was normal, B*****t! Finally they replaced them.

I think by taking several photos of it on my phone, as the water streaked down on the inside of both gauges helped. Was on hwy. when it was most noticeable. Had to pull over several times to capture it as it progressed down inside glass. Finally they took me seriously, and knew I was not going to accept there initial answer for it being normal. " I see this a lot" is not a reason to call something "normal". 2 years and 20,000 miles later, has not returned.

So what is causing the streaks?...Some have suggested oil, water, condensation etc??? I wonder if it occurs on cycles parked outside and is caused by condensation when the temps change at sunrise or overnight?
Just curious as to what the streaking is....dried water streaks, oil or something else.

My bike is always parked inside.I have never washed it.Got caught in the rain once,but saw spots in speedo before.The only time it was washed may have been prior to delivery.
So I went to another dealer Who said that,Harley is evaluating the problem and will take care of it when They have a solution.Either now or in the future,even beyond 2 year warranty.
Fine ,but I still have to look thru the spots on a 2017 bike,untill They fix it.

Typical world-wide MOCO and dealer attitude.
"That's normal, they all do that". I think Harley coined that BS phrase from day one and it's worked for well over a century - why should they change now?
My '15 Limited has the same issue. I just ignore it, since it would just be replaced with another Chinese-made-crap part.
