just wondering if anyones tried to wire on a car radar detector to their bike and if it worked, i would think the price would be worth not getting the first ticket...

 

Don't have a radar detector but I have put a cigarette lighter plug on my bike to recharge my phone and I also use my GPS when on road trips. I got the plug from one of the auto part stores for like 3 bucks. It is stored under my passenger seat. I mount my GPS on the inside of my windscreen and run the power cable from the charger up to the unit. Hadn't had any problems.

I tried mounting a radar detector on my bike, but there was no place at all where I found it useful. I bought a Bel Express Cordless, which is battery operated and has an ear piece that goes into my helmet. It has a deflector plate that captures the radar signal from my front pocket. It works okay for keeping the price around $100

 

i wired a cigarette outlet to my old cbr 900 and had a on off switch and fuses and stuff and it worked fine but the radar never realy stayed stuck to the windshield so i decided to just take it off

 

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-x8PgfLy...sp?i=036SOLOS2get this. no wiring. just attach. not using the bike put it in your car. i would get to sets of the round sticky caps for both vehicles just so you dont have to keep marking up your window. you can get the solo s2 on ebay for alot cheaper then crutchfield. this is the way i am going. i have to much wiring in my bike already to add more. hope this helps

 

oh yeah to answer the question if your radar detector has the long wire then the cigarette lighert. just cut off the cigarette and install the wire into a constant flowing fuse such as lights or i think horn. anything think that is all way on when the bike is on. put the other wire to ground. and your done. i have the same setup on my truck. that way the cigarette lighter can be used for other things. hope this helps

 

thanks for the help... the reson i ask is i was doin about 260km/h on a long straight stretch in the middle of nowhereand someone flashed me, slowed down to the speed limit (80) and went through radar. lucky.cant always rely on other people to save your ***
