    Group discount on radar detectors bought in nz

    Hey guys, another thread of mine has created some interest from those currently looking at getting radar detectors and laser jammers etc.

    I am playing the different Kiwi suppliers off against each other (quote collecting stage). Best package deal so far is this (price has come down a little bit):

    $1800 w/o installation for:

    Beltronics Sti
    Weather case
    Tank-mounted stand
    M20 jammer set
    HARD system (helmet LED flashing light)
    Hardwire kit

    or:

    $1395 without the laser jammers

    Ok so heaps of emails later and it would seem that the NZ suppliers of radar detectors have a strong anti-competitive pricing agreement among their selves. I can't get these buggers to budge and am thinking stuff them, buy directly from the US.

    Get this, I was offered a 2.5% discount on a bulk purchase of $6000 in value - FFS?! The above prices are the best I can get from Radar2go. They are cheaper again than Radardirect and one other crowd.

    So, unless someone has some hook ups I reckon we start looking abroad...

    That'd pay a few fines!

    They still making these illegal? Can the STI live 'hidden' and still operate correctly?

    I am playing the different Kiwi suppliers off against each other (quote collecting stage). Best package deal so far is this:

    $1869 w/o installation for:

    Beltronics Sti
    Weather case
    Tank-mounted stand
    M20 jammer set
    HARD system (helmet LED flashing light)
    Hardwire kit

    I reckon if we get another 1 or 2 people keen for this package there's a chance this price could come down to maybe $1600 flat? After all, the retail sector is hurting at the moment and it's a buyer's market!

    Let me know if you're genuinely keen.
    Shit you can have my Bel hard wire and mount for half that.
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    I don't want to turn this thread into a debate on whether they are or are not being banned etc. But a good question nevertheless, Short answer is that no intent for Police to ban laser jammers. The radar detector ban has effectively been dropped and there is very little chance of this legislation occuring now

    so if it detects up to 5km away, does that mean you miss out on 4km of speeding if you had a cheaper one that only detected up to 1km away?

    I've got an FXR and I think I want one!


    ...not

    I mean... What kind of a radar detector costs as much as my bike itself?


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Unlikely we will see it this side of the election.
    After the election there will be a different govt, so anything could happen.

    That's a good enough reason for me to vote national.

    $1800!

    get real!

    my fully integrated setup with HARD, and fully installation kit cost me $300!
    I blew the first one up and bought another for $270, so 2 systems for $570 - thats still 1/3rd the price!

    and it works, and you know it does Macstar

    More likely to happen if the fascists get in.
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    Ha ha, yeah I owe you a beer for that time with your radar detector...

    Take off the laser jammers and it's down to around 1K, so maybe half the price but with a warranty and supposedly the best detector i.e. Escorts sell for half that price... but I want the best!

    Or you buy any other radar detector off trademe for no more than 800
    even down to 379.99.

    Or like, just dont speed in areas when there are cops... you dont need a radar detector for that.

    Time and place.
