Default Tinted Windscreen?

Hey guy's thinking about either buying a pre-tinted windscreen or perhaps having it done by one of the local shops if possible.. Curious if any of you guys have suggestions?..

My advice is to just buy one. I don't know how well it would go getting a shop to tint it for you, and don't even try to use that self tinting spray. I had a buddy of mine try that stuff & it turned out terrible. Worked great on small stuff like turn signal lenses (darker when not lit, but just as bright when flashing), but not for a shield.
You can pick up shields off of E-bay for a good price. I just picked up one from this dude, seems good to me, but LP Speedscreens or Puig are great too. Maier makes alot of add-ons for ATVs, but this windshield looks to have good build quality... we'll see how it holds up over this season.

I'm 6'2', so a Double Bubble screen is a must to deflect the wind, but if you are shorter, a stock replacement may be alright. I would go with smoke rather than a heavy dark tint, nicer to see through if you have to.

Iridium is kinda trick, but I'm betting you can't see through it worth $hit.[&:]

having the windscreen tinted by a local shop will probly cost you as much as just buying one thats already tinted.

if you're talking about having it tinted with automotive window film, think otherwise. nothing good will come of that.
