Default Foggy headlight

Hey everybody out there in cycle land.
I love My 05 cbr1000 to the max but something that does annoy Me is why My low beam headlight always seems to fog up on the inside after a ride.This always happens after about 20 minute after the motorcycle has been shut down and parked.What gives??????? Does anyone else have this problem????? How can it be fixed?????
I sure would appreciate some help on this one........

Hey buds,keep riding hard but stay alive.

You probably have some moisture in there. You can try removing the bulb (use gloves and clean it with alcohol before you put it back) and then use a hair dryer to get the moisture out. And like rippn said make sure the weather seal is doing it's job when you put the bulb back.

Where do you park overnight? Maybe your picking up moisture if parking outside and not covered. If so, then as mentioned something's appears to be messed up with the weather seal.

Let us know if you figure it out.
