Window tint laws

[daggles]

Hi, all. i wanna get my hyosung 250r windscreen tinted, but wanna (if possible) do it legally.
dont wanna get in trouble with cops.
i've searched the web, and here, but cant find any distinction between motor vehicles and motor cycles.
main thing i wanna know, IS there a distinction between the two? or do the same laws apply?
cheers

never heard of that being done, most just buy a screen that is already tinted, heaps of different ones you can buy for bikes, just google and you should find lots

[daggles]

I've seen them for sale all over the place and even how to diy.
just curious if there was a limit. im gonna get completely black if i can.

[PBF]

Just do it.

The cops are really reasonable about letting you off it you weren't aware of the rules.

[daggles]

If i couldnt find anything saying i couldnt, that's how i was gonna play it

Nothing illegal about it as far as i know and ive never heard of anyone getting pulled for it. Im putting a jet black screen on my R6

you don't look through it so it can be a piece of cardboard if you so desire.....just go to K-mart and get some window tinting spray and go nuts

i've seen a few completely black (none see throu at all) on sale on ebay. just gonna buy one of thous

the laws about the darkness of the tint are only in place so that the driver can be identified and the inside of a car can be seen and not hidden. As you're on a bike and the rider can always be seen completely and the screen has no ability to hide anything, you can go as dark as you feel is neccissary

[daggles]

i wanna do it for 2 reasons.
1, looks good.
2, helps block some light from the gauge cluster amking it easier to see.

have been pulled up for this, and threatened with a yellow (altho the actual ruling i have not seen), my understanding is as it is a "windscreen" it must be clear, no tint at all. I argued that the screen on my bike (zx10) could not ever be seen through due to its height and position, and therefore could be tinted as it was not vision impairing. I cant see that, as an example, a goldwing with a blacked out windscreen could ever be legal, so would assume that the same would apply for any bike...?

I got an almost entirely black screen on my ninja. Then again I attract more attention from the red P on my back.

The cops just look for an excuse to book dickheads. Don't ride like a dickhead, or behave like a dickhead if you get pulled over and you'll be fine.

[Desmo]

Whs. don't ride like a twat, and pass the arsehole test.

Don't ever use tint spray on plastics!!!
Why? Because it says so on the can.
How do I know this ? Doh!

Better to keep your stock gear just in case. Otherwise there might be another "anyone got a stock ninja windscreen pits needed".

Mine is black as night. I plead ignorance.

I don't see you having a problem with it. A cop would have to be in a pretty crappy mood or you'd have to be giving him a bit of lip to cop a yellow for it.

Good point raised about the goldwing. Would be interesting to know the rule... My guess is that they are meant to be clear by law.
