On my ninth Harley - with my ninth speedo that fogs up!

 

Dont spazz on it,, it will dry out after a while when the sun hits it.

Thinking back, mine did it mostly in the first yr or two.. but I rode in the rain a lot back then.

Don't remember that last time its done it, its been several yrs at least now since it has.
I seldom ride in the rain anymore and she sits in a heated/Air-Cond garage at rest, so I'd think that must help keep it from fogging up,

I just posted video on this issue

 

Over the 25+ years I had my ‘94 FLSTN, none of the three speedometers I had on that bike ever fogged up. All three were vented. Coincidence? I think not.

 

Ha this will prove this theory. Thanks for sharing this

 

Same here, 2016 LRS fogged up since brand new and I have never got the gauges wet. Ocasionally clears up but then rite back. They don't drip and run like the post above, just fog up. If not rideing for a few days fog seems to leave.

 

Every Harley I have owned in the last 10 years has done it, EXCEPT my 2011 FXDC, and I suspect the only reason it didn't was probably because I only owned it for One year, and it went into the garage most every night. My FXSTC was the Winner by a bit.....my FLS is second runner up....

 

Same was happened with my ride. The dealer changed it for free as a guarantee case during the service for a new version from 2020. Never happened again.

 

My 2019 Lowrider had this issue. I was at the dealership several times and talked about this with the service department. I called the 800 number for Harley and they opened a case number for me. They asked for multiple pictures. I got tired of dealing with them, watched the YouTube video about it, and drilled the 1/8 inch hole in the back. It took about 10 minutes start-to-finish. Mine hasn't fogged up since.

 

I know this is an old thread, but I have to ask... aren't the newer tank/console mounted speedometers vented.... ??

Both my 2001 Springer and my 2003 Heritage have vented speedos, and I've never had an issue with fogging...
