2018: “After taking my '18 hd out for lunch, the speedometer fogged up while I was inside the building (about thirty minutes - ~75 degrees outside). The entire ride home the speedometer was fogged up and I was unable to see the speed of my motorcycle or gear that the bike was in. Since the unit only has an analog tach I am out of luck when it comes to determining my speed to keep safe / lawful vehicle operation on the road. …”
