I think yer man sez it's electric..speculating here - I figure the fogging is caused by petroleum based products used to lubricate the speedo and tach cables. lubricants slowly evaporate, and this is what's causing the fog. the only way I know of is removal of the glass and chrome bezel, and cleaning the glass. problem is, not sure the chrome bezel is salvageable. I've done it, but destroyed the bezels in both cases. fortunately, new glass/bezel kits are readily available. not sure what to use on the cables - maybe a dry lube product. ???
This can work to your advantage - “ I’m sorry officer - I could not read the speedometer “Any tips for the fogging up on a Smiths electric Speedo?
sorry - missed that....I think yer man sez it's electric..
maybe i'm not understanding what's going on here - is this fogging caused by high humidity, water vapor, or some sort of moisture condensation?Hair dyer will be a temporary fix until the next ride, for a product known to be used out in the open the sealing seems to have been an afterthought as its not the first time its come up.

I don't know about the Smiths electronic units, but the ones supplied by Legendary have bezel & glass assembly that can be unscrewedIts an electronic speedo, no steel cable involved and the fogging is water in one of its many forms.
Only if you tell us what a 'bagger' isWhat is an "airing cupboard"? Yank minds want to know.

Thank you
Didn't realise it's a Brit thing (must be our small houses... made of BRICK!) It's a cupboard that houses a hot water tank, usually for the heating system as well as hot water in general, but usually built to include shelving for clothes storage so they can be 'aired' after drying.....It is a grocery store courtesy clerk who puts purchases into a bag for you.
