Yes your right they should be water/moisture tight but as you can see they ain't. Guages are probably made in china like some of the other cheap ****-low bidder. Back in 89 when I had a Ultra I don't remember the guages doing this but it could be that I just don't remember.[sm=icon_beat.gif]

..had dealer replace speedo due to moisture, would fog a little. They did it on warranty. No problem..you should not have any moisture in gauges. Would you tolerate moisture in your newwatch and accept "thats normal" as answer.

I've had moisture in all my bike's gauges - shouldn't happen, but, it does. Must be next to impossible to make a water proof gauge - my previous ride, a 2000 BMW RT (also an $18,000+ bike) was particularly prone to water in the tach.

RE: moisture in gauges 07 RG
The speedo and tach on my '04 FXDX would fog up whenever the humidity got high - the dealer gave me the classic TADT*" story. Harley's aren't cheap bikes and I was not going to accept that answer but I had someone buy the bike before I got a chance to pursue it. That's theonly bike I've owned that had that problem so no, I don't think TADT and my recommendation would be to escalate this to HD customer service if the dealer won't fix it.

I see we have a new member to the "moisture in my gauges " 
My 04 has this problem,still has this problem,and will probally have this problem till the gauges crap out from rust inside and are replaced with some more of the "quaility"gauges HD puts in their bikes.
I've come to accept "thats normal" because i've not seen any improvement on this known/normal problem
