About 30 min. into a ride last nite, about 50 out. Lights on no heater, guages all fogged up. All on the inside of the glass. Windshild remained dry. Any ideas why? How can I stop this. Thanks

NONE......
My 32 has done this ever since I got it on the road...a long time ago. They eventually unfog when the inside of the gauge becomes the same (or close enough) temperature as the temperature as the front lense outside temperature.

I can't give you the solution, but I can give the cause. It's caused from dust, and film on the inside of the lens. If you can get it apart, and clean the inside of the glass, you can cure it.
My 47 with SW guages had two that would do it, and three that didn't, all used guages.

Thanks, their Dolphin's, I'll see if they come apart. If not it dosen't sound like the problem will destroy them.

If you can get them apart, after cleaning, try Rain-Ex anti-fog on the inside of the lenses. Worked for me.
