Bike radar detector

[Blackbird]

Got a mate who knows a guy who knows a guy, so getting a really good deal on the 8500 x50 (hopefully free!)

Still interested in the 9500 tho...

My X50 has served me faithfully for a good few years now. Have you thought about whether you'll use an earpiece, HARD or screamer for the audible warning? If not, do a search, you'll find plenty of info.

No problems picking them up, but then again I didn't buy a cheap POS detector... for this very reason.

I would'nt call a Cobra XRS 9940 a cheap POS?

Are you saying the x50 is a cheap shit one?

What do you guys recommend re h.a.r.d/screamer/headphones? I might leave this to him to decide.

I'll also get the mount and the waterproof bag thing though i guess.

Passport 9500i has a gps system that lets you pinpoint cameras and known speed traps by stopping at location and pressing a couple of buttons, next time you approach location it warns you then counts down the distance absolutely brilliant.You can also use the gps to mark false alerts but so far i havent had any, I absolutely love mine

The X50 is good. There are better ones again, but you have to start paying a lot more coin for those.

I tried an earphone for a start, but it is a bit of an inconvenient hassle every time you get on and off the bike. I ended up getting a small speaker from dick smiths and slipped it into the padding and wired a 3.5 plug onto it finishing at the side of my helmet. Now very easy to plug and unplug getting on and off the bike. Very pleased with this cheap setup.

Yep, I started off with a small speaker and a jackplug but found that I accidentally unplugged it without noticing a few times and also hopped off on the odd occasion without unplugging first. Decided against the HARD as visual cues are marginally slower to react to than audible ones and there's always a risk of the HARD batteries not getting switched off. Got my screamer and mount from www.motocycleradar.com. About to get a new mount for the Triple as I sold the old one with the Blackbird.
