Gas gauge on my 1994 Superglide all the bloody time.
Haven't spotted it on the 2011 Fatboy Lo yet.

Seems to be more or less universal. Mine is also just on the lower part of the speedo. I bought a recalibrated speedo from ebay, with the clock, but it would cause my low fuel light to always be on. Got rid of it and I'm just living with the condensation.

Default 09 Rocker C, I have it!
My 09 Rocker C has it so bad sometimes I can not read the gauge. Dealer told me that HD will not replace it for just condisation, but now that it is a safety issue they are looking for approval to replace the gauge. Guess if they replace it with one that does the samething it does not matter much.

Agree. Got it on my 09 Fatboy + wifes 2012 Heritage. Noticed it mostly after changing speedo lights on Fatboy, but it's inevitable. Especially in spring.

2008 Fatboy.
Have had it in both my speedo and gas gauge. Haven't seen it lately, tho. Probably because it's been stored indoors over the past year. When I stored it outdoors with a cover on, I had it all the time.
