Hey, to each their own. I for one enjoy being able to drive with the top down when its in the 40 degree range of temperature without freezing my tail off...

did it last night. 47 degrees outside, I was in jeans and a t-shirt. and I couldn't have done that without the screen.

Spend you money on what you like. I'm sure there is stuff you spent your money on that would a lot of people wouldn't put on their S2K for free either...

[B]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.

Yeah, in fact I bought BOTH Mingster screens. Personally, I like being able to talk to my wife like civilized people instead of yelling at each other while going 75mph on the highway. And night driving in the cooler temps is nice too with less cold blast coming from the back.

The screws line up with factory holes on the Mingster screen.

Mingster's screen looks great but I'm worried about cleaning the rear window. If anyone could figure out a quick disconnect system, this thing would be perfect.

Power screwdriver?

I noticed when doing the install that I got the wingnuts as tight as it would go and the screen still rattled.

So, I got the power screwdriver and tightened the screws from topside. Got quite a bit more tightening, without OVERtightening. And no rattles

To clarify this point: you can remove the aeroscreen (because of the wing nuts) in less than 1 minute. It's not as quick as folding the thing down, but it's easy on, easy off.
