    How to fix Radar Detector to Hayabusa?

    Anyone got any clue or experience?

    I spent a long time looking at those plastic packagings and could not see any wire that I can splice onto.

    I find it hard to see what speed I'm doing on the motorway......

    Mounting

    I've got mine mounted on steering head arrangement & yes it does block the clocks a little. Have also seen V1 mounted right in nose of screen on fabricated panel back to between clocks.
    Wiring - I got an old telephone cord, cut off 1 end & put on quick connect plug from Dick Smiths (Audio). Mounted the socket by the key & wired right back to battery terminals with an inline fuse on the +. Pm me if more details required.

    i'm making up a composite arm to pick up on the bolt in the centre front of the panel (just in front of the centre of the forks). it'll cantilever up and hold the bell just under the screen (i've got a dble bble one), so i can still see dash - including the oil pressure light . i'll probably make up a short curly cord and plug into a cig lighter fitting that i'll mount into the fairing - so i can charge my phone too if i need to - you know how they're always flat just when you need them the most!

    Not sure how this would go on a Bus , but this is the setup I made for the TL , Its bolted on with the Mirror mount bolts. Not at all obtrusive and best of all obscures no guages. Oh and the cost probably a couple of $$ at worst, depending on what you have laying around.
    The detctor is held on by velcro and being behind the screen is OK in light rain as long as you are moving. A plastic bag and rubber band would be a $0 dollar fix if you need to have it in the rain. The plug in the fairing came from supercheap and is wired via a fuse back to the battery terminals under the seat.

    Wiring-wise.

    For position, I like lying down on my back on the bed.....

    Anyway, wiring-wise, some Busa internet pages suggest to wire to a spare socket inside the front fairing.

    How easy it is to unmount the front fairing?

    the TL set up is clean, but the Busa doesn't have the same room or exposed framing. hey marmoot - what sort of screen does yours have?

    I like your style, thats how I had mine on my CBR250, welded it up though no riveted, and then bolted it on. Orig had it on the left where it would obscure the speedo partially but remade two of them and put it on the right and it was sweet

    PM BusaJim (my partner) He has a Valentine One on his Busa with a HARD unit. (Helmet Assisted Rader Detection ?)
    Uses the rubber suction cups to fix the V1 it underside of windscreen. And some sort of velcro arrangement to hold HARD unit next to it.
    Swears by it. No speeding tickets since it went in.

    Standard for at least another full year. The missus would hit my bruised waist if I dare spend another dollar bill......

    I hope it's insured, because they don't bounce.

    how important is it that the radar can see forwards and backwards. I keep hearing contradicting things, or does it depend on model?

    and what about external sensors mounted elsewhere/tucked? like hide the unit and have sensors front and back?

    It survived a crash on the Tukas - whereas the Busa (previous one) it was connected to was written off. Apparently it did bounce that time.
