I’m thinking that environment and where you store your bike may be the bigger factors in fogging as people report fogging with and without the stickers.
 In the year & half I’ve owned my GT I have never had any fogging. I live in north Texas about 300 miles from the coast, so humidity is not a big issue.
 I also keep my bike in my garage when its not in use.

It seems the bikes with yellow stickers have 10 more hp.  The sticker is how the factory could simply but subtly differentiate them. :)

Finally got out a flashlight and looked up under there. I have yellow stickers!
10 more horsepower, cool!
Does someone pay me now?

Quite possible, I had the stickers but removed them because of fogging and have had no fogging since.
I live within 1km of the coast
I don’t ride in the rain (car)
Bike is stored in a garage
I wash the bike with a freezer bag covering the dash, then damp sponge for the dials.
It can get quite humid here particularly after rain.

I wonder that an indian bike has such problems. In most areas of India the Monsun is like a permanent flood, and it takes months. Its so humid and wet that your clothes do not dry anymore.

True they do have monsoons, not so here but sometimes it’s impossible to dry clothes here without an electric dryer.

They have the same issue in India.

As long as it's as good as 80s Honda technology, it will be fine. The gauges on my Nighthawk used to fog up just as much.

Did you 80's Honda have an LCD display?
