Hi everyone,

I'm looking for ideas on locations and hardware to mount a Valentine 1 to my 954. I have a Scott steering damper on the bike, so I don't think I can use the TechMount stalk that slides into the hole in the triple tree.

If any of you have mounted a radar detector (or other gadgets), I'd love to see pictures and links to mounting hardware. I have a direct wire with an inline fuse to run to the battery for the RD, but I'd love to see where others have mounted their gadgets. Ultimately, I'd like to have the Valentine and my Android (for music and GPS, not phone) mounted, but I'm not sure if I can find enough room!

Thanks in advance!

 

Tape them to the front of your helmet? lol

 

how exactly would a radar detector work when its on the bike??? i assume you wouldnt hear it beep at speeds that ud need it with all the wind, and that would be kinda distracting to have to look down at the detector to see it blinking for a certain radar being detected. is there something im missing?

 

The Valentine (and others) have options for HUD, audio via Bluetooth, and separate lights that are very small and can be placed in line of sight.

 

oh **** thats cool

 

Use suction cups that will attatch to the inside of the windscreen. Move it more towards the right so you can still see the speedo, by now im hoping you can hear the bike and know about where you are in your rpms

 

Yeah I know the sounds of the bike now. I'm at that point where I'm hearing sounds that make me wonder if something is normal, like "extra" noise on startup when it's really cold outside

But I'm not sure I'd trust suction to hold an expensive piece of electronics. I'm leaning more toward a RAM mount or something similar. But there's not a lot or space in the cockpit, and I won't do anything that effects the turning radius.

 

I had a radar dectector suction cupped on the windscreen of my zx-11, and had no problemos.

 

I have the Motorola Droid and have been trying to design something to hold it so I can use the speed GPS, music, and maps. Everything I experiment with does not give me piece of mind. Any ideas for this please fire them out.

Thanks

 

I'm considering buying the OEM Auto Mount for the Droid and doing some surgery on it to make it work with 3M DuraLock, or (better yet) a RAM mount/arm/ball.
