Which bell star did you get and how do you like it? I'm looking at getting the ace of clubs but want some info from someone that's actually wearing one. As far as the Shield, I still use my clear one with my Shoei, I might get one with slight tint though with the next helmet. I wouldn't get the dark tint unless you know you wont be riding at night or bring your clear shield with you to switch out. Others may have different opinions.
