I also have a 13" dark tint Cee Bailey windshield and love it at 6'. I personally think the light tint looks better as it keeps the overall profile of the bike lower, but I like how my dark tint windshield hides my radar detector too.

I agree 100% the light tint will cut down the glare and much prefer the looks over clear. In fact, as long as you don't have to look through them I actually prefer darker tinted screens. I just think it adds more of a custom look. I have put a dark tint screen on just about every bike I have ever had with a windshield and haven't noticed any drawbacks.
Clear! And here's why...my thought process went like this;
- Somewhat taller than stock windshield but not too tall so as to retain the overall low appearance
- Definitely, not tall enough to have to look through it for normal riding
- Tall enough to provide protection from the elements and reduce wind noise
- Vented, in order to equalize pressures
- Clear, so it's easier to see through it to see the ground just in front when looking down, especially at night
Based on this criteria, and considering my 5'10" height, I went with the 13" vented CLEAR Cee Bailey. After 6K miles, I wouldn't change a thing.
