FXD Speedometer moisture issues?

Anyone else have an issue with moisture getting into the speedometer? When we have a morning with a lot of dew, or really humid days I notice moisture in the speedometer, kind of like a film on the inside that I cant get cleaned off. My biggest concern is that one day it will get bad enough that I wont be able to see some of the lights lol.

Yep.....my 1995 has it too. However, after 15 years, the only issue I ever had was my trip odometer resetting on it's own, after 1000 miles in down pour rain, and sitting outside that weekend, in the rain.

Leave it sit in the hot sun and it'll dry out good.
