only on the highway, and my DB tinted screen makes it a little hard, but usually ok...i sometimes ride with just my eyesight over the top of the windscreen so i can see. Tinted screens look great, but dont really serve a purpose

I feel that on the street tinted screens are for looks. At my last trackday I had to remove my tintend screen to load the bike into the van. I thought about bringing my stock shield but decided against it. I wish I had (may have avoided having to remove it).

On the street I have issues looking through the tinted screen. On the long straight at Summit Main, it wasn't a problem and was more comfortable than I thought. Funny thing though, I must've been moving because I've never seen my screen buffett before.

i do, and thats why im against getting a tinted screen (for me anyway). i have a 40 or so mile commute to work (thats one way). if its reeeeeeeeally cold or raining, i'll tuck down w/ my chin on the tank, feet on the passanger pegs and roll! it helps alot w/ cold air, and w/ keeping me dry for the most part.
Can we get a picture of this?

Im 6'5", haven't tried this move yet.

Yeah like jaynd said, only if it's really cold or raining... not too comfy for me.

I have a zero gravity tinted windscreen and no matter how low I get, I always see over it. I am a tall guy, and I have basically had my chin on the gas tank and still seem to have my eyes just level with the top of the wind screen. Plus I have a tinted visor, and a tinted windscreen, so I dont need to see through it. Its too dark with both.

Yes, too dark. I'm 6'1" and have the same issue. But for some reason on the track, no problem tucking in. Now that I think about it that day I had a clear shield. Hmmmmmmmm
