I've been thinking of using a light tint to darken the lense a little. My bike is black and I think the front headlights stand out a bit too much. (I know this is the design, but still). Has anybody else tried this? any suggestions on what % tint I should try.

You can get headlight covers in various colors. katgirls kat had one on.
I'd be really careful about how dark you go with the tint, especially if you are running the stock bulbs in your headlight. Bikes can use all the illumination we can get so the more you cover it up the less off you are from a visibility standpoint for yourself and others to see you.

Yeah. I was worried about that too. I've looked at getting some Xenon lights, I'm suspicious that these will work (because they're so cheap). Maybe one of you guys can shed some light onto it. (no pun indended)
I took a look at some of those kits on ebay to tint the headlight lense. They look rather dark, I think a light automotive tint should be safe. If it's not, I'll just remove it. I'd rather be safe than cool. (as my mis-matched jacket/helmet/gloves scream out already)

i have the headlight mesh in yellow... it comes with a million small holes to let the light through, but when looking at it it's the same color as the bike. i feel that it does reduce night time light but it looks cool. i would not tint try the headlight mesh from chapparral..
