Hi all,
I was hoping to get some feedback regarding these products. I've been reading a lot on how Rick's screen vibrates like a dildo at high speeds. Can anyone confirm whether or not this happens with Mingster's too? Although I can't imagine anybody having both aeroscreens, can anybody provide any comparison between the two? Thanks in advance.

Well the question is do you already have a factory aeroscreen? If so, you can consider the Rick screen. Or if you want the one pc. aeroscreen to replace the factory you could choose the Mingster screen. (Mingster screen is 1 pc and need no factory screen). So the differance is do you want to spend $$$$ on a factory screen and add the Rick screen? Or just the Mingster screen and only spend $89.00!!

I have both Rick's aeroscreen and Mingster's original aeroscreen with the metal mounting part. Mingster's screen vibrates very little at high speeds compared with Rick's. The reason Rick's vibrates so much is because the plastic mount is hinged. Since Mingster's screen has no hinge, it only vibrates by a few mms.

Regarding the Mingster's Aeroscreen ... can someone point me towards some pictures and where to order it? This might be something I was looking for.

Not the best picture, but here is a start...Mingster Aeroscreen II, no metal mounting, just a one piece Lexan screen which allows for the "secret compartment" to open even wit the top down. This screen does NOT fold down like stock.
