SPEEDOMETER FOGS OVER WITH CONDENSATION, WHEN LEFT IN THE SUN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TOREAD ANY OF THE DIGITAL FUNCTIONS WHEN THIS OCCURS. HARLEY REPLACED THE SPEEDO TWO DAYS AGO AND IT DID IT AGAIN. APPARENTLY HARLEY IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. THEY SIMPLY REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER ONE TH0AT THEY KNOW MAY ALSO BE DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD,THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ANOTHER BIKE I OWNED.
