So what did you expect from a $20k bike?

Hmmmm... Sounds like a "Heated Glass" accessory needs to be developed. They got everything else for these bikes...I'm suprised some place don't have it.

Shouldn't need it if the gauge is built right. Thats why I mentioned Dakota Digital Gauges. I ride in extremes from 29 - 30F in the morning to 75 - 85F in the afternoons depending on time of year, and from soaking rain to balzing sun, gotta Love Vermont...No gauge issues. My Dakota's stay fog free and clear in all extremes and have for years. No problems no failures so far. My last gauge is about 6 years old and still fine.

Now I'm worried. My oil pressure gauge has never fogged up. I guess that's a good sign it's not right and shouldn't be trusted. Better get one on order.

hmmm, I wonder how Harley would keep the Glycerin in the speedo if they can't seem to keep the moisture out? Inquiring minds want to know?

It's a Harley. Fluids leak out of or into every orifice.

+1 on the sun. It goes away in about 5 minutes in direct sunlight.

Sunlight doesn't make my fogging go away. Mine always fogs when there is enough moisture in the air and the only way the fogging goes away is when the air dries out.
