With the satoshi it should get more air flow than stock anyway so I don't think it's an issue.

Home Depot sells a smoked plexiglass. I bought a sheet and cut it with a razor and straight edge to size then used a strip of black tape and zip ties for now. I wanted it to make sure it was removable easily on the trail.
As far as light output, I'm sure it reduced it by at least 10% but it is worth it for the overall look and I can take it off if I need.

It is a custom piece of wire I used when I did the 2006+ facelift. I installed the light bar far enough back that it doesn't touch. The rear of the light almost touches the horns and radiator tubing.

Also, the lens it held on by a strip of electrical tape up top and 3 zip ties. One at each end and one in the middle. That way I can remove it if I ever need just a little more light output and put it back on later.

Before the smoked lens
After the smoked lens
Let there be light!

No, just a reflection on the camera lens.

Looks great, did you have any issues on tuning and connecting the wires? Can you post on how to wire it to the battery and switch inside?
