Makes me wonder what happens when you do the LED Mod, since the seal is broken to install the LEDs?

Noticed this on my 13 RKC today and it has not seen a bath since the fall. Foggy around the clock and not thrilled about it. Can you take it apart to clean like the headlights when they fog?

5 Harley's over 30 years. Some things never change. All Harley speedos get fogged sooner or later.

I just live with it. It happens when it rains or when I ride in cold weather.

Good point, you either look where you're going or you can look at the speedometer, take your choice, because you can't have both

Both of my Harleys do it. Funny thing is that neither my BMW nor my Kawasaki does it....hmmm.

"other" makes of bikes are like gingers, they have no soul therefore their gauge glass does not fog.

I live on the west coast of Scotland….. what is this thing youz all call sunshine? Rain is just weather, we just get different degrees of it. My 22 fatboy glass mists up all the time and I can’t see how much fuel I’ve got. I’m going to try the drill thing. My rocker C never ever misted up. But I bought a pressure washer and use it on the Fatty and it happens all the time now. So…. 2.5 mm drill and some bathroom mastic sealer is wot it’s getting.
