As the title ask's, is anyone using a radar detector and which one are you using? What kind of mount and where are you mounting it?


Thanks,

Escort wireless Solo S3. Handlebar mount. Only put it on for highway trips.

Now you just need to hope all the cops are lazy and not using instant on or laser.

 

Harley sold this one years ago. Not sure why it was discontinued.
I love it.

 

Look into the TPX. Made for motorcycle use, served me well.

 

I want to use my radar detector as well with this Heads Up Display so I don't have to look at the detector.

I run a TPX on my Hayabusa. Had it on there 4 years with no problems whatsoever. This thing is made for bikes with obvious touches like Nice big glove friendly buttons and no worries about rain/elements the thing works like a champ. I have it hard wired in and mounted on a neck stem mount.

 

I have a Valentine 1 that I use in my BMW auto. I bought a waterproof box for my BMW RT and used ram mounts. I'm going to use the same setup on my Ultra.

 

Do you have a part number for that? Looks to have been called Harley-Davidson Road Tech 75 and built in 2004.

Yup! I took the transmitter out of one of our broken radar guns and built a voltage regulator for it. Mounted it in my faring (It's about 1-1/2 inches on a side. See photo.) and put a small switch on the handlebars. Since there is no radar horn to direct the beam, it transmits in all directions and reduces it's effective distance, but it will activate radar detectors up to about one hundred yards or so. It transmits on the old X-Band frequency, but most detectors still "see" it and alert the driver. I use it primarily on the interstate. When someone goes around me and I see a radar detector on the dash, I give them a blast and watch the brake lights come on.
