RE: deer alert
My Dad has them on his car. I asked him one day if they work. "Of course," he said, "I've never hit a deer." Needless to say I'm not convinced.
If it were me, I'd put my $$$ somewhere else and just keep your eyes open for deer, or for that matter, any varmit bigger than you can eat in one sitting! Anything that big will do damage to you and your bike.

I bought two when they first came out years ago, I didn't follow the directions and inadvertently mounted them backwards. The next evening when I was driving home, I looked in my rearview mirror to see a herd of deer following me....they work!

RE: deer alert
I wish I had installed them on my Streetglide. Hit a deer doing about 50mph in the middle of the afternoon. I ended up with a broken arm and dislocated wrist out of the deal. Everybody tells me I'm lucky to be alive, guess their right. The deer didn't do so well,when I hit it, it went up in the air about 10 ft and landed in the ditch-dead. This happened on 4/21/07 and I'm just now getting to where I can use my wrist again. Haven't tried to ride yet, my bike is supposed to be finished tomorrow. I'm gonna go pick it up and see how the wrist does. I'm ready to get some riding in. Rick

RE: deer alert
I read a tip in another post about deer: follow a car at dusk / night if possible. Use their headlights to see farther into the darkness. Their taillights bounce to show the bumps. Most importantly, if a deer jumps out you have some protection.
I'm going to start doing this...
