Ideas on radar detectors?

[jstoof]

I was looking to purchase a radar detector for my bike but not to sure what there is out there? I have a passport for my car and never go anywhere without it. What are some good ones for motorcycles and if you have one give me your opinions.

Do what I do, run from the cops!, :justkidding:

Might have to make a personal bracket or something that can adjust, but it would be kind of hard to hear while riding...

Cobra is the way to go

Im just curious if there are any specific ones made for bikes and which ones would best suit it

darn, must have left that particular copy for the guys taking over in Mosul....

I would check out Radar Detectors and Jammers - Reviews & Shopping at Radar Busters they got anything and everything

I would just find what works best for you (cost and accessories wise) and then go through their mounts. The mounts they sell are very nice.

I hope this helps

I remember seeing a page from a forum that's dedicated to radar detectors. A search might give you some additional data from radar detector fanatics....:rockon:

I did a lot of searching and talking to the long distance boys the Valentine One is the best. You only can buy a V1 direct from them.(Google em') Had mine for years and has saved me from many tickets.

Having said that the Cops are getting sneaky with instant on and lazer so a radar detector can give you a false sense of security.

Here's a hard to see Pic of mine on my FJR next to the old Garmin V


PM me if you want to see better pictures.

I don't know if any RD's are waterproof that's why mine is mounted in a box made for detectors.

Ha! That ain't nothing compared to the real long distance rally boys but I will break it down for you.

Far left is the control for my audio vox cruise control ( yes it is just like automotive cruise control) next to it is the Factory heated grips controler, then it the garmin V gps with the Valentine one Radar detector and to the far right is the radar detector volume control for the speaker in my helmet. Look close and you see the V Strom handguards which fit the FJR.

All is powered by the bike as only the heated grips pull any real power plus I can power my electric vest if needed The FJR has a much bigger stator than the FZ.

The cruise control is working as I took this pic at speed (around 80 mph). All needed gear for those multi 500 mile plus days when I can get away
