If it's just fogging up, not much you can do. Mine does a little.

Be nice to know where it's leaking or if even it can be pinned down.

Without sealing the unit it will be a constant issue. It would be nice if the MoCo had a little desiccant tray or compartment they could add to the speedos. Put those little silica gel packets in the every 6 months or so and never have those issues.

Like the ones that come in the beef jerkey bags that say; "Do not eat" on them?

Those same ones, but I think these will say "GENUINE H-D PART" and cost twice as much.

Al, mine has been doing this since the bike was new.


Did it twice this weekend.

Any suggestions other than a BFH?

Remove speedo. Take a small Siva package and put it inside the 5/8 hole in the back of the gauge. Should reduce the condensation by more than half.

Russ beat me to it.

When I got the speedo/tach combo I was pleased this one doesn't have condensation issues.
