It started on the second day of the trip and has been bugging me since. Warranty is a great thing to have. Gonna save me on this one. The silica packet is a great idea too though.

Larry..... we went to Final Four couple years ago to watch MSU lose!! On the way outta Michigan I hit something in the road and ruined a tire. By the time we got tire changed (of course it would not come off the spindle....alum and steel don't mix!) got to a Discount Tire and new pair of tires, we got back on the road in time to hit the 3-6pm traffic in chi-town. Told my buddy never again... next time we go to Minneapolis for a FF we going through the UP. Our trip back from Sturgis a few years ago was pretty much uneventful coming through. But then we did make an extra effort to bypass as much as we could.
.Chris.... don't the gages have some kind of weep hole somewhere to let moisture out? Thought I heard that..... mine fog up a bit on "those" mornings, but always goes away. Good luck on your fix!!

Hey, Stosh!
Yes, same seat all week. Was reworked by Mean City Cycles a few years back.
