I just got a C14 and am looking for a location to mount a radar detector. Mine is not waterproof and I have to take that into account. I have a Marc Parnes visual alert, so the detector has to be reasonably close to the mounting location. One thing to note is that radar goes through plastic, so I am considering just putting it in the glove box which would keep it dry. If I could put keyswitched power in there and snake the line for the MP VA to a decent location, I'd be totally set.
On my C10, it was mounted on the dash with velcro with the power supply ran to the left glovebox, where I had a 3 way cig lighter splitter. Also where the GPS got power. On the FZ1, I tap into the left front turn signal/running light, so it powers up on keyswitch. I have it mounted below the fairing, zip tied onto the central bracket that supports the fairing. The MP VA snakes up behind the dash, very clean and works like a champ, it goes off at all the places my car's does, which has an unfettered view. The C10 requires removal and lockup when it's left unattended, the FZ1's mounting is hidden from view and permanent. The FZ1's is also inside a zip lock bag for moisture protection.
But what I have on the C10 and FZ1 is a horizontal surface to velcro the Visual Alert to and that is lacking on the C14. Ideas?
Thanks
