Default Speedometer Moisture

I have some evidence of fogging and moisture inside behind the glass of my 2000 Road King speedo..It's the original factory speedo.
Any ideas as to how to remedy and clean/stop this moisture ingress?
Thx
Jim

after owning a 2000 dyna wide and having an 07 RKC
the only thing that I can say to you is "just get used to it. "

i get the same problem with some of the gauges on my '04 Ultra. I say some because sometimes it's the fuel gauge. somtimes oil press., speedo, temp., etc. It varies, and I swear it does it just to be ornery! None have failed. I have chalked it up to, oh well...

My sporty used to fog up. Let it sit in the sun all day. Cleared mine up.

My fuel gauges on my Harleys hold more water than the Rain Forest..

I have moisture as well. I don't plan on letting it be a Harley thing. Not a fan of it. I can see a few water spots from the moisture. I am going to follow this thread to clean my glass and help dry it out.

Got the issue on my Sporty, on the Heritage Classic and the UC. Can't seem to stop it.
