My bike went to the dealer after my wreck. When we got it back its seem to have problem one after the other. So I was wondering if anyone else have these problems.
Bike 07 Street Glide
The guages fog up and even have condensation in them.
The right floor board vibrates real bad.
Didn't have these problems until the wreck, but the dealer swares every bike has these issues, so ...do they ?

 

not my 07 SG with 14780 miles on it

 

Gauges yes, that is a fairly comman problem. Not every bike but not un-heard off. If the boards no. I have an 07 SG and the boards vibrate with the rest of the bike. They may be loose aor your insert bushings may be damaged. Consider if the side of your accident came anywhere close to that board. If it didn't look at tightness or another issue. The amount of vibration is all in the eye of the beholder. It may just be normal but after something happens to your bike it seems like everything is wrong. It dosen't run right, increased vibrations, you kinda psych yourself out to believeing that things are worse than they are.

 

I had some of the same issues. the speedo on my wifes bike would fog. i spoke to two different dealers on one said its normal, the other also said it was normal and it was because there is a vent hole, i looked at the guy like he was nuts. i know no venthole.. i finally asked the dealer where i bought the bike and they spoke with reason. they said, no vent hole and that the condensation according to harley is normal but as a dealer they believe in a sealed system is abnormal. but, to get harley to pay under a warranty a stain must be present. one of the other dealers said this too. BUT, check this out. i was not able to see any stains but the dealer said they use a special light which illuminates any defects. they replaced it for free.

my floorboards seemed to move and angle. they did something andits fixed. my shifter loosened and they ended up replacing the entire rod system.

 

All bikes have issues.You are better off taking care of them yourself.Then you can do it to satisfy your needs.

 

Gas gauge fogs after a wash, but clears up. Nothing vibrates worse than I'd expect from my Harley. All in all, its been a good bike (knock on wood).

How bad was your bike damaged in the wreck?

Hack

 

I thought all gauges fogged by design.

 

Just about every HD gauge fogs up (on the baggers anyway!) I would say the vibration problem
is definitely related to your wreck. Do you know anybody else with an identical bike?
Failing that, get the dealer to prove to you about the vibration. All HD's vibrate to some extent
but not like you are discribing!

later...........

 

There was very little vibration on the right floor board until I took it in for the dealer to straighten up the front end. When I got it back, it was vibrating bad. And the front end is still off.

 

So the dealer says it is normal and wont recheck their work?
If so I would speak to the service mgr. or owner,contact your insurance company if they covered the repair,take it to another dealer/indy shop or fix it yourself.
BTW,my gauges fog up all the time in cold weather.
