Head beam mod for Europe & lacquer for ally

Anyone got a diagram for the headlamp shielding for RHS road riding?

and

What clear lacquer is suitable for polished aluminium? I was wanting a satin finish lacquer but I guess that is hoping for too much..

Wouldn't bother with lacquer as it will end up pitting and looking horrible like many SV forks end up, just keep it nice and polished with something like Autosol and that will work better!

I don't really like the highly polished look though. That's why I was hoping for a 'satin' finish lacquer - if such exists. I agree that pitted forks look horrible though and if I cannot get what I am looking for then I will have to do the regular polishing thing.

I've heard people recommend nautical metalwork protection stuff for bikes, never actually used any but it does make sense...
