Default Condensation inside speedometer

I seem to be getting condensation inside my speedometer when I take it outon hot days when its been sitting in the cooler garage.Anything to replacing the "o" ring or gasket on my06 RKC speedometer.

Mine does the same thing once and a while on my 06 RG, but when it does, they all do it, dont think there is anything we can do about it.

Same here on my '06 RKC. Has happened a few times, but I don't worry about it. Even happened once on the fuel gauge.

Don't worry, Harley says it is normal.

Unfortunately it's a common thing and the dealers/MOCO will do nothing about it. That and the fuel gauge too.

You could go to the dealer with a cracked frame and they'd tell you "that's normal". [:@]

Never have had the problem on my 06, but I hear of a lot of people that do.

My 03-Electra Glide Classic did the same thing on one of the smaller gages when new. The dealership replaced it for me, but said it's common & will clear up on it's own. Sure enough all the gages eventually started doing it, & they all clear up after a while. Don't think there is anything to worry about. Just the temporary "fog"...
