I had one on my RK for a while and didn't like riding at night with it. It looked cool with my bike but just couldn't get used to it. Ended up getting a Memphis shade windshieldthat has the bottom tinted. Now I have a aftermarket fairing with a light tint windshield but use the Memphis one when not using the fairing.

It all depends on the height. If you have a shorter shield the dark tint will not be a problem but if its a taller shield then a light or clear shield would be best.I have the SE short dark tinted shield and its great except the short sheilds don't keep the air off your face.
Get one of each.

I've got an 18" dark gray windshield. It works perfect for me. I can see over it(5' 10" on a sundowner seat), and I can wear a baseball cap up to 60 mph with no trouble.
