First off Val, if you are shopping for a R/D at Best-Buy etc...STOP! If you
don't get a Valentine V1, or at the very minimum a Passport Escort 8500, you
are wasting your money, and will prolly end up getting MORE tickets based on
a false sense of security. (some would argue a V1 or nothing and I wouldn't
argue much with them). Look at it this way, you could buy a cheap R/D, but
one ticket and you could just about could buy the V1 ($400.00) or certainly
the 8500 ($300.00).
As far as mounting. Most folks just carry them in or on their tank-bag. One
madman (you know who you are), has mounted his INSIDE his rear hardbag and
swears it works fine. I have mine mounted (with 3M "Dual-Lock" NOT velcro)
on the faring lip directly under my headlight (fits great). Some have even
removed their "third-eye" and rigged up a mount there. Of course all these
options require the use of an earbud to hear the warning signals. I think
this to be a smart way to go as trying to keep an eye on a visual warning
system could be dangerous. If you are going fast enough to NEED a detector
you should be concentrating on the ROAD.
