gak. I tried it, but my screen/dash/bars is a totally different layout to yours. My bracket is too long and flexible and its gunna flop around big time.
Plan B time.

This mount looks pretty good and is actually a reasonable price:

Remains to be seen what size the plate is. And it won't move around like the one on the steering column probably does?
Having said that, it would render a tank bag all but useless!
Hmm.

Looks like good fun!
Revolution is in the air
My Valentine 1 detector is mounted in the fairing/cowling near the headlight of my Bandit with velcro. I have a "screamer" that is super loud, letting me know if radar is in the area. The detector and velcro mounting has worked for years and saved me many, many, many times.

What options do we have since they all appear to be power cord operated and not battery?
One hell of a ride.

Ha - That receives an 'All good' from me.
You should now just say - the better looking one, the smarter one etc etc.

You can wire them into your bike electrics. There are some self install kits on the market.Originally Posted by trademe900

Old news now. That proposal is a long way from becoming law and the National party have said they are not going to support it if/when they get in.

Buy a permanent power cord install kit or make your own. A lot of the popular models use a small RJ11 (telephone) type plug which are easy to come by.
I generally use stranded telephone line cable and cable tie it along under fairings and whatnot up to the front of the bike. Leave some excess so that when the plug fails from overuse if you are continually swapping the deector between cage and bike like me, you can just cut the plug off and pull a bit of excess cable out to fit a new one.

where abouts does the phone line go on the bike then? Sorry all a bit confusing for me. Is it easy to wire the thing to the bike?

one end is the phone type plug, this goes in the detector. The other end is 2 wires which go to power.
Double shot!!
Just wire it to the ignition somewhere. Yeah its quite easy to do - you need a simple lamp-tester to find the live 12V circuit. You should buy a 12V tester anyway - its an essential bit of kit. Dick smith Q1545

Tester aint much good if he dont know how to use it !
Easiest way is to wire it into say your taillight wireing (if your bike is lights on permanently) as its usually the easiest to find, red to red black to black green to earth somewhere (a bolt)
Make sure the fuse aint bouncing round too much !
You can get whats called a hard setup which is a wireless flashing light in yr helmet , I have one and works a treat but it does use batteries and fucks out when ya least want it to (i carry batteries and small screw driver to replace em)
A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
There's no justice... just us
I wired mine in to the main power feed to the headlight switch, that way it's always on when the ignition's on and it's fuse-protected too. I can't remember which wire exactly, it was just before where the LH switchblock plugs in beside the front coil pack.
