tinting windsheild

[spyderrider44]

I rode to Sacramento Fri. and picked up a Cali windshield. It works great i love it . Just went to a shop and was going to get it tinted but they said that it is not a good idea to tint these sheilds as they emit a gas and it will affect the film , won't last very long and when you remove it ,it ruins the lexon , Cali doesn't offer tints in it's sheilds , which is ok i just thought it would it look good tinted Just thought i would give a heads up , another shop yesterday told me they had a tint that would look great , maybe they don't know about the lexon gases or just want your $$$ :dontknow:ride safe and have fun :2thumbs:

I was thinking about riding down to get one myself, I am 5ft 10 and thought the medium one would be fine for me, what size shield did you get and did they have them in stock for collection, I was interested in seeing one and have been putting it off for a while, but I thought I may see if anyone has one fitted at the upcomming 'Walt Gray' ride to look at.

You could always apply TINT film from 3m, usually available at your local autozone or pep boys.

I looked at this also (adding film) until I read the instructions on the film that stated 'Do not apply to any form of plastic' and that kinda put me of from doing it as well.....

tnt film will react the same as the film the pros use on cars and the shop o talked to.It's not the type of film it is what shield is made of that causes the problem. Paint like Lamont does is the safest way so as not to damage the shield.

They have them in stock and i got the large ,it worked best for me ,they let you try it before you buy. I am 5'6". Leaving for Pismo Beach in the morning :yes::yes: for a few days get out of this heat iy is 100 right now in Modesto and i just checked the weather in Pismo it is 68 :hun: what am i doing here

Thanks for the feedback, I will have to pay them a visit. Have a safe ride on the :spyder:I went out early today and got in a few miles (125) before the heat set in, even got ther 'Nanny' to kick in on a really tight turn, but it's not as much fun in the heat..
Your new windshield will be tested by your return for sure..

pics when i get back from Pismo my daughter has had my camera.

22.5" from the bottom hole to the top

$125 otd he gave me $60 off for my touring shield which i didn't like otherwise it would have been $185 i bought the large. I-5 will be a real good test for it , but it worked good coming home from Sac.
