No experience tinting things myself, but just a thought.

Even the littlest flexing of the shield, wind, temp, etc. would more than likely cause some blemishes of the finish over time. There may be a reason nobody is really saying "HEELLLLL YEA, do it, I did it...yadi yadi..."

I'd go with the aftermarket to ensure you aren't worrying about this down the road.

 

Plastic bumpers and body panels flex. Automotive products are designed with that in mind. The minimal amount of flex on a windscreen would be insignificant in regard to product performance and adhesion.

 

Also, you might want to check your local laws. Don't know about windshields on bikes, but on cars it is illegal to tint the front glass in most states, if not all.

 

I doubt that is an issue with motorcycles or HD would not be able to sell and install them at a dealership. My tinted is a short one though.

 

I'm running a Memphis Shades half, like the older FL's in the early '60's. But, I doubt this is what the OP is looking for..

 

Just put a tinted shield on my '02 Heritage from F4 Customs(www.f4customs.com). Better shield than HD's has built in rain sheading that works great, you can use Windex and less scratches from cleaning. Just put another one on buddies FatBoy. They come in various heights also.
