Default Clearview vs. LRS tint shades

For anyone who has tried both out. I am trying to get an idea of how Clearview and Long Ride Shields tints compare. Clearview has the dark smoke and LRS has a medium grey and a dark grey. Would the Clearview dark smoke fall closer to the LRS medium or the dark.

Hey Monster, I have only had the Clearview, in the tinted version, and it's a great shield! The re-curve is amazing. Having come from a RK to a converted Batwing bike, the re-curve is the bees knees. I use the 7", and it is incredible how that thing works. I can look over it a good 3", and it still gives me no wind in the face. At least try a blemish and see how good they are. I'm sold!

Hey JD. How ya liking that batwing???

As far as the Clearview I had an 8" dark smoke blem and really liked it. I was just thinking about trying out the LRS. But I would like to know about the tint shades before I buy.

Got the Clearview 6.5' with recurve.. Great windshield... swapped over to the KW 6.5" this summer - I'd say they are the same other than KW maybe better at high speeds over 75MPH.. just my 2c.. I maybe would like to try a KW 8.5" next summer.

I just bought a 10" Ultra from LRS in med smoke. It does a good job and the tint is dark enough to look good but I can still see through it.
