Harley Gauges
My 09 FLHR has gauges that have dirty lenses on the inside. To make matters worst these gauges appear to be sealed and can't be disassembled for cleaning. I added a tach and its lens is also dirty. Its very noticeable on a foggy day or a day with high humidity. Has anyone else experienced this? If so how did you deal with it?

I don't think there are any H-D gauages that are sealed. That why they get diry and fogged up. The gauges on my '09 Ultra Classic get fogged up. I've been told there's not much can be done, short of replacing the gauges. Maybe someone else has some input.

You can OPEN the gauges. I have done it, so have the guys who repalce the LEDs in the larger gauges.
Go slow, and it is a pain in the ***. I dont recommend it if you dont NEED to do it.
You will cause minor damage to the "lip" of the gauges as you pry them open. Not visible when installed, but still. Just FYI.

Its not only moisture in my case. The gauge is dirty and even smeared in one case. It amazes me Harley would let them get assembled in such a condition. They are probably assembled in China like a lot of Harley stuff you buy these days. Boy I long for the days that everything was made in Japan, and before that made in the USA! Much better control.
