Post by: BeaverMatt on May 12, 2011, 09:53:13 PM

A few of you have tinted your windshields.  What  product did you use?

I tried to tint my stocker using VHT Niteshades. That was the plan anyways. The valve sputtered and I ended up using that stuff to just black out the windshield. It looks good down but all the way up I can't see right in front of the bike. I ended up buying a tinted shield.

I used the krylon made for plastic on my stock shield.  I save that windshield for days I want to look cool (as if) and use a CalSci most days.

Dude, you're riding a Connie, how can you not look cool?

I used some black paint I had in the garage.  It took about 6 coats to get it to stick good enough.  Mine is cut down so short it doesn't really affect my vision at all.
