RADAR
 

What kind of radar does everyone use and why?

(not asking how to break the law, but just how to exercise my rights to use radar)

i second that question, and how do you mount and wire it?

RE: RADAR
 

I use an Escort 8500 in my truck, want to mount it on the bike, but haven't really looked into it. I also looked at the HUD unit that mounts on the outside of your helmet, lets you know alot more stuff than just radar alerts. I'm thinking about mounting it up front, below the air intakes.

RE: RADAR
 

do you need one that ties into weapon release and target tracking or passive scan?

RE: RADAR
 

i have been meaning to hook my radar onto my bike...but im really lazy...i havent found a radar made for a bike so i plan on wireing it to the headlights or something...

They make radar detectors that run off of batteries

HOW HARD IS IT TO CUT THE wires going to the cigert lighter and connecting them to the bikes batt???

RE: RADAR
 

On the Air cowling I mounted a cheap Cig lighter ran to seperate wires to the battery(1 hot,1ground)I'll see if i can getta pic O.K.

RE: RADAR
 

Like james said, all you need to do is cut the wires and tie them into a battery, but you will have to install a switch or it will constantly draw power.

why would u need a radar detector for the bike?! they ain't got plate numbers in the front! some radars shoot from the back, but not in my city... i believe till now, they've got many pics of me :D
