Windshield - Clear or Tinted?

[Tbone56]

I want a little taller windshield than the 11" Cee Bailey, but I still want to look over the top, but undecided if I should get a light tinted shield or clear one. I get why you would want a clear shield if you are looking through it, but is there some other reason many of you have chosen a clear shield? Just looks better or what?

I have had both...really no preference

I think it is a personal preference issue..Also depends a little on where one lives I suppose...We do not have a lot of sunny days in Michigan and other states have less, some more....so maybe a factor for some...I like looking thru my shield and have a Baggershield that is dark on the bottom half and clear on the top half....So far it works great for me....Rode home from the dealer today, 125 miles in 44 degree weather and was fine except my feet got a little cold.....No issues with the Baggershield at all...extends to 19" I believe...

Less glare with a light tint, IMHO

I must concur with my heavy brother from Texas...it is YOUR choice, but I went with the light tint.

Anything taller than the 11", get the vent. You won't regret it.

Agree...thing is, with the light tint you have to really look to even tell it's tinted, and
the tinted and vent is way cooler.....jmo.

Most just get the clear because the light tinted isn't available with honda etc. and unless
you order one, most people like the convenience of clear...

The light tinted (and vented) is my very first choice...

I went with the smallest Cee Bailey and it is opaque as I like to look over it. I also ride in those sunny NorCal days when a little breeze keeps me as cool as the bike looks. I might get a taller one for winter days but it would be tinted to keep on the dark side of things...

The light tint reduces glare a bit and IMHO, it looks a bit nicer. No real difference in visibility. And yes, the vent is good.

I just got my Magstad and am happy with it so my 13inch, light tint, vented, Cee Baileys is about to go on the "4 Sale by Owner" Forum. Check it out if interested.

I am 5 10 and use CB 13 tinted. Works just great.
