    Or... have a radar detector that is undetectable...

    Mine's completely visible, no need for it not to be, but a RDD would never detect it

    And you can still fit a tank bag if it's a handlebar mount.
    Has it ever bothered you that Therapist is The Rapist if you break the word in two? It bothers me, especially when they suggest hypnosis.

    use to have a stem mount to mout my gps was bloody good and probably better than the tank mount, as you don't have to move your head as much to see it.

    Here's a few Home-made Radar Detector Water Proof Housings and their mounting points I've done in the pass. They may not look pretty, but they have worked well for me. The RD's worked well in them & stayed dry even in the heaviest rain.

    I've just mounted my Zumo on handlebars. Tucks in quite nicely behing the screen and easy to see with peripheral vision rather than having to look down too much. The mounting bracket also has awesome swivel options which allows a lot of viewing options / angles etc.

    Apologies for the delayed response, LEDs are 4x 5mm red superbrights from JayCar (DSE should also have them) mounted in a piece of aluminium angle and attached with double sided tape to the edge of the fairing bubble. Nice and discrete painted black with black RTV to weatherproof the wiring. LEDs are powered from the earphone jack of the Bel 65.

    Not recommended for night riding as a burst from the LEDs will successfully fuck your night vision for a while

    Naki rat. I like your Led idea. That is the one for me. one of the biggest problems is the lack of visual alert (when you ain't looking in the wrong direction)

    As for the mount side of things, I made my own out of a bit of cheap engineers square to which I bolted on a camera mount (for me camera/video) and then made up a flat bit of ali, tapped a thread into it for the camera mount and double side taped it onto the base of my Bel STI. Quick thumb screw to remove.

    Ignore the round spacer in the middle of the pic. That was for an MC mod I did at the same time.

    The LEDs are directional so as long as they are aimed at your eye area there is very little chance of missing them as they are bright enough to get your attention even at the most peripheral part of your vision

    I've got a Techmount 30910 kit for my detector (http://www.chainspeed.co.uk/products...52d-30910.html). It works well to keep the detector tucking in behind the screen so it can be used in light rian and also allowing the detector a clear view of the road ahead... It also allows the detector to be mounted on various angles and heights etc so it doesn't obscure your gauges.

    I've got the detector attached by velcro so the detector can easily be removed when parking or during heavy rain. Even on the roughest of road the velco holds it on securely.

    Works a treat for me
