Default wally'scycleworld oil temp gauge fogging issue?

Installed wally's oil temp gauge yesterday and as temp climbed on gauge, it continued to fog up the gauge, and stayed that way even after riding 40+ miles, once bike was turned off and sat a while it cleared! Anyone elese had this problem, spoke with the owner of the company that makes them and he says this is somewhat normal and no fix?? Your feed back will be helpful Thanks!!!

I have the HD Oil Temp gauge and never had that issue. I've ridden in ambient temperatures from 26 deg to 120 deg and seen the Oil temp as high as 260 (before SERT tuning).

Don't have experience with Wally's stuff.

My Wally does that also....it goes away very quickly and only fogs up after a rain or wash job

I've seen it on almost all HD gauges except Speedo & Tach.

Never seen it on one of my McEwan oil temp gauges though...

My Wally gauge never does that but my gas gauge always does. My speedo and tach have in the past and now I have a condensation line in both that won't go away. Of course the dealer says gauges aren't a big concern to Harley so tough luck. I haven't pushed the issue but I'm getting there.
