Windshield Tint??
I'm wondering what should I go with for my windshield tint? What % ? I'm not sure. I'm going into the shop this THursday. The guy knows me back in 1999's so he's giving me a half off of what its usually priced. So let me know what %'s you guys think I should do. My fit pictures are on my profile. GO check him out haha 
Let me kno asap fellas and ladies.

It's illegal in most, if not all states to do front windshield tinting. Some will allow a strip at the top. There's even a marker imprinted on the windshield (near the side) for you to see roughly how low the strip can go.
Personally, the only reason I would tint the front is to block as much heat as possible in the summer. So, I'd go with something that has maximum blocking, but clear as possible (to avoid police issues).
On that note, I'm going to have to eventually replace the tint on the rear hatch... it got messed up when I was transporting my Ruckus without my usually sweater covering the handlebars. The bouncing of the hatch caused the hard surface of the handlebar to scrape off bits of the tint.

Just go with what's legal when it comes to the light transmittance (the % figure).
Over here we're pretty lax with tint but I understand that too dark of a tint is counter-productive. I've had 3M Black Chrome BC35 for a few years now. It's a 35% tint which is still very usable at night. So far, so good.
