I'm sure you guys and girls already know this but I'll post it anyway.
I painted the inside of the windscreen with a " hammered gray" Spray paint.
This is no new trick i'm sure. The trick is to add acouple of LED lights to the very bottom of the windscreen. They must be set so they shine on the cut edge at the bottom. At night it will give the front and top "bubbled" edge a nice glow (color is your choice Red not recomended . Put the LED's on it's own switch also helps if you want/need to shut them off.
I have no pics of it at night but you can see the painted windscreen in the pic.
I like it.

Oh now, I'm probably older. I do look through mine when tucked, but I think the LEDs would be pretty cool.

Way back I had a windscreen on a bike , don't remember what brand anymore , but it was very "acrylic" in appearance and they had an option of a highly polished lip that would glow during the day. On that bike , an old Gixxer , the cluster would leak light out of the back and would light the windscreen up at night. I never could tell riding until one night another rider asked how I did it. 
I always just said it was "Custom".

that's an old car audio trick, but I wouldn't have thought to do it. I'm picking up a 98 900rr tomorrow, and that mod might have to be attempted.
On a clear screen it should have the same effect if your light source is strong enough.
