I'm following up on my poll regarding gauge condensation. Does anyone know who makes Harley speedometers or other gauges?

 

Well U sucked me in this one...

I've looked for 10--15 minutes and I give up...

I suppose that like a lot of other manufacturers they rely on outsourcing a lot of their parts to make their finished product.

Its just the way of the World anymore,, Usually the cheapest part that work and the makers can keep up with supply, will win a contract.

Other than what I found, why don't U do some research and find out and then U can tell us who makes them...

I have greatly reduced the condensation in my gauge by stuffing a silica packet in the hole in the back of my speedo. Did this with the fuel gauge also.

 

same here.. lol..

i did find a supplier code of conduct expectations. I also found out that PPG is the suspected paint supplier. not confirmed though.

usually theres some kind of marking or name imprinted on the part itself.

 

Children with small hands in China is my guess...

 

korean kids held hostage by the japanese in taiwan..

 

Yeah, I tried googling a few different word combos with no luck finding who makes them. I tried putting a bunch of those dessicant packs in a small net bag and putting it under the console, but it had no effect. I don't think there was any name other than Harley on the speedo the last time I looked. Thanks for the replies.

 

You could call this company. If they don't make Harley's gauges themselves, I bet they know who does.

I took my first speedo (which failed beyond warranty... thank you HD) apart to see if it was repairable or if I could see a short in the circuit board that would have been caused by the condensation. The entire board was sealed, so clearly HD expected the condensation to remain as is. Anyway, I think if you use the modified paint can opener method of opening your speedo and put a couple of bags of dessicant inside the speedo housing and then put it back together you might have a chance of it working to get rid of most of the condensation.

44 years of motorcycling and this was never a problem until I got an electronic HD. Time to go back to the mechanical drives... and replace speedo cable, lube the drive and the cable, and, and...

I'm pretty sure it the same company that made the leaking tail lights for the rocker models...the lights that have 1 non replaceable led and cost $250.00 each...and the engineers for these components...mia...
