Default new shield on my rk - do you like clear or smoke?
road king police came with a 22" really beat up windshield. am going with a recurve 17", but want your opinion on clear or light smoke tint. i have the light smoke on my ultra and it was a great choice. i feel like leaning toward the clear for the rk, but - what say you.

I have the recurve light smoke on my King. I ordered it for looks but it is so light that it really is not that noticeable. If I had to do it again, I would still get the smoke.

I have clear and like it because it looks like you dont have a windshield and I prefer that look.

I want to say smoked for the looks but wonder how a smoked shield would effect night riding. If a smoked shield hinders night riding it would be a deal breaker for me. I vote clear.

17" clear recurve on my 08 RK, love the looks and the fact its well below my line of sight. However, I do get more wind than I did from the 19.5" stock.
