I mounted mine IN the left hard bag.. use a remote visual unit on the 
handle bars, and an Autocom to hear it go off. The other nice mount 
is a Saeng http://www.saeng.com/cockpit.htm they make a mount which 
uses the lever mounting boss and it works really well, a fellow I 
know mounted his like this.

No, and the newest units are a bit thinner and lighter..

NO! at least not at any speed where you need to hear it go off. But 
there are several ways to get audio into your ear.. and hearing it go 
off is an absolute must, more important than seeing it go off which 
you won't if you are watching the road as one should.

The V1 picks up EVERYTHING.. how can it know if it's a cop or an 
automatic door opener. That said the V1 has 3 modes of operation.. 
check out Valentines site, they have a better discription than I can 
give here :-)

The V1 is by far the best unit out there PERIOD. Yes it is more 
expensive than the others ( a rare case of the best actually costing 
the most) but it will pay for it self very quickly.. do yourself a 
favor DON'T bother with the other units save your $$ and just get a 
V1.. I don't know anyone ( ask any of the hard core LD riders which 
unit they have..to a man it's the V1) who doesn't think it smokes all 
the rest..
