Hey everybody

I have just got myself a radar detector but I'm unsure of where to mount it, will it detect through a blacked out tinted screen or do I need to mount it above it?

I ride a 06 zx636 to give you a idea of where fairings and things would be.

Thanks
JB

Joe, if your 636 has a hollow steering head stem you could rangi up a mount at work & use the appropriate Dyna bolt to clamp it on...I did that on the bros,& it will work fine thru the sceen.
