I haven't seen one.Back in the day,when I had my GSXR,some guys were taking there wind screens to Auto tinters for custom work.I had mirrored flames on top of limo tint.My flames started at the bottom of the windscreen and stoped about half way up.Looked the stuff,it did.

Clear one let's you see the road below you better. Think about it. I think it all comes down to looks vs practicality.

I next to never look through the screen on my bike. Your always sat far higher than the screen goes therefore it doesn't impede your vision thus i would go for whatever screen you like, colour or what have you.

If your looking through your screen when your riding you must be ducked right down behind it = poor control, which is more dangerous than not been able to see through the damn thing.

High Speed Riding = Need to tuck in

Very Bad Wet Weather = Need to tuck in

Personally I prefer to be able to see through my screen because there are legitimate times you need to.
