Someone here not too long ago replaced one of his lenses with a piece of plastic, and it looked pretty good. No unfortunately the dealership kept the other sets of gauges, I would have loved to have them. It's my thoughts that I'll replace 50 sets of gauges to get a set that doesn't leak, It pisses me off that a new motorcycle has a problem like this, I have a 25 year old H0nda with original gauges that work like a champ. In my opinion, any amount of water that you get in your gauges is too much it's just a matter of time before the water runs down the inside of the glass, and messes with one or both of the digital readouts, and leaves a mark on the inside of the glass, and that would irritate the piss out of me. I understand the problems of condensation, but I live in the high desert (+/-11" of yearly precipitation) and I'm really careful with the hose when I wash the MC, and the Monster hasn't spent one night outside the garage. The latest set of gauges has 7 miles on them, I had them replaced last fall in October, and had only taken a quick spin when I got back home with the motorcycle, and when I rolled the Monster out of the garage in February, there was a considerable amount of condensation (just short of running down the inside of the glass). So if I were you, I'd replace the guages sooner rather than later, and hopefully through the luck of the draw, you'll get a set that doesn't leak. I also this time will try a little electrical tape around where the wires plug into the back of the gauges, maybe that will help a little. I also didn't have to take a picture of the fogging, I just called the dealership and told them what was happening, and they ordered the gauges and I waited for them to arrive before I took in the Monster. Hope you have better luck with the next set, if it wasn't a warranty item, I'd try to dismantle the gauges from the housing, and hit them with a hair dryer to try to evaporate the condensation. Good luck!
