I never had a tint but I do like the way a clear is almost invisible when your behind it and can still see all the chrome.

Clear for me.
When the evening hits, hard to see with the extra dark tint.

clear, but with the sales that long ride shields often have, you can get a tinted pretty cheap and swap them out really easy. check them out. http://www.longrideshields.com/

Short shields I like tinted. If I'm looking through it, needs to be clear.

depending on what bike - for my road king I wanted clear so it isn't so noticable and I can see the road/headlight etc. If I had a street glide probably dark or even painted. Ultra I'd probably go light tint if able to match paint. Joe

Whether YOU look over or through pretty well answers your question. Wearing sun glasses at night is potentially suicidal.

I cannot look through a motorcycle windshield, If I can't look over and see the road, it is too tall.

And clear or dark depends on the style of bike...

On a Heritage or Road King, I prefer the looks of clear, dark to me in that style shield reminds me of '70's male **** star sunglasses...

On a batwing or sharknose, I prefer the look of dark tint. Clear reminds me of old man reading glasses.


Yeah... fahgittabouttit... you'll never figure my mind out... LOL
