I have the stock aeroscreen. Question 1: Does the larger aerosceens really make a big difference over the stock aeroscreen? If so, which one is better, especially if you already have the stock screen. I have read about the vibration on Rick's, but the weather stripping seems to have resolved that problem. Has it? help GaToR

Mingster, you are a gentleman! Our screens are designed, basically, to meet two different needs: Mingster's for people who don't have the stock screen, mine for people who do.

But, does the larger aeroscreen really cut down the wind turbulance over the stock one?

Tell you what. I have Mingsters original design screen (which is about the same height as Rick's full height screen) and the Honda screen unaltered.

I will go for a cruise with each mounted and give you my impressions.

I also have Rick's screen but haven't had the time or guts to disassemble the Honda screen.

At the moment it is raining.

I had the stock windscreen, and so I bought Rick's. It not only looks great, but it does help block the wind. My wife really likes it, as she is short (5'3"). I being 6'1", I still get a quite a bit of wind, but that is more on the top of my head. Rick's windscreen are very well made and I know that you will be happy with it. Just besure and get it glued well. I have installed the weatherstripping, and it works very well.

The only thing is that in hindsight I probably would go with the 7/8 screen, rather than the full. It is a little difficult with the top on opening the compartment with the full screen. Just my two cents.
