    Yes, ensure easy removal and install in the finished product since those bolts and that bodypanel are frequently removed when working on the Spyder.

    See post #34 for mine. Is there a different view you'd like to see?

    I do think a small relief trim will have to be done on the Fascia as it's such a fine gap there. Or maybe the plate could have a vertical support that would fit between the
    fascia and the mirror and use one of the fascia attachment points as well.
    Did you ever try out your idea?

    UtahPete, sorry I haven't, been otherwise tasked and not even getting much riding in. But I started a new job in the aircraft manufacturing industry and we have quite the fab shop, so am planning on asking the "shopsmiths" if they'd do it. Though I think your solution on the Upper Air Deflectors (maybe with some black powdercoating) is pretty smart and simple.
    Have you done some "With" and "Without" light pattern tests?
    Are you using Denali's TriOptic™ Multi-Beam Lens System or just the Driving light lens?
    Did you get their DataDim™ dimming controller or just using it on the high setting?
    I am getting closer to doing this and if for some reason I just don't end up liking it, two new upper air deflectors are only $60 US for me.

    I've not done any real tests at night but in a parking lot shining the lights on a building wall the difference is startling.
    I did not go with their dimming controller; it's either on or off with the switch (but only works when the headlight circuit is powered because of a small solid state relay built into the harness)
    Nothing fancy about the lens, just the straightforward driving light (which I got at a savings because they were phasing out that model)

    BigMo,
    Great idea for the folks that still have the lower air-deflectors (Below the mirrors), that part and one of those screw mounts are gone on any of the '13's or other years using the '13's Air inlet (heat mitigation) scoops.

    That's why UP and I (and others are looking for over the mirror mount options, besides the extra height/light throw benefits.

    I mounted my light directly on the clear wind deflector below the mirror. Solid, sturdy no problem at all. The light is wired with a small plug so I can remove panels without having to remove the light. The bike is at the shop for defective left cluster and will post a picture as soon as possible.
