Windshield - Clear or Tinted?

[ghostrider]

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.

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...

+1 exactly for the same reasons athough I went with Dark Tint instead of opaque. We are in the minority however but everyone should ride their own ride.

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.
