Re: Radar Detector Mounting

[TXToday@xxxxxxx]

Erik,

I mounted my Escort Solo right on the map window of my Triumph Tankbag using 
3M Hook and Loop Tape (it's like Velcro).  After cleaning the surfaces with 
IPA, just cover the bottom of your unit with hook and apply a similar patch 
of the loop to the map window and it works great.  Stays on fine and sees 
right out the front of the bike.  I had mine with an earphone plugged into my 
Autocom and ran the cords right between my legs under the seat.  Was also 
very easy to plug a standard earphone directly ito the unit and use when I 
wasn't using the Autocom.

Since my Solo was catapulted off the mountain during my crash, I am seriously 
considering the Valentine One.  Powering off the tail light power like with 
my Autocom shouldn't be a problem (I uses a 3M gizmo so I don't have to cut 
any wires), but the Valentine's audio jacks come on a seperate adapter unit 
and the application for the earphone looks a bit more involved, but not 
prohibitive.  Hope that helps.

My only concern is that the Black Widow I want exhaust is going to take all 
my underseat Autocom space.  Tough choice.
