Piece of 1x6 wood rattle canned black and zip tied to the ram air passage under the right side inner fairing panel.


I cut out the 2 rectangles with an Exacto knife, this allows the velcro to work. The remaining 'strap' of plastic keeps the baggy around the detector.  This is especially hackish.  I should use heavier material.


RD mounted with the baggy covering it. I used a similar technique on my FZ1.  Ok, it was completely in a baggy and had foam velcroed to the bottom. Then the whole thing was zip tied to a fairing stay between the headlights. The power and MPVA were just stuck through the plastic. I needed protection from rain but didn't want to completely seal it as I was afraid it would overheat.  Works perfectly on the FZ1, the jury is out on this one for a bit.


When I replaced the fairing cover replaced, you can't even tell it's there.  It's connected to the cig lighter for power. Was going to hardwire it to switched power, but I lost the cord I bought, arrghhh.

Ignore the mounting location and note the Marc Parnes Visual Alert velcroed above the LCD panel.


Works ok now, hopefully a shakedown ride this Saturday if the promised 50 degree weather hits.  Between the radar detector on the old C10 and the Sena's, we slowed down as a group every time I encountered radar on our Deals Gap/Barber tour year before last.  I own 4 radar detectors, 1 in the truck, one in the car, one on the FZ1 and one I just transferred from the C10 to the C14.  I hate tickets!

Works like a champ on my FZ1, I bust cops all the time.  There is a safety radar (an LED thing that displays your speed) on the way to work.   The FZ1 goes off the same place as my car and truck detectors do.  It detects through glass, might as well detect through plastic?  We'll see, you never really know till you try. And your cell phone gets service indoors, right?  Of course, laser (rare, luckily) and instant on when you're in range (getting less rare) are an instant bust no matter what you do.

The car and truck have $50 detectors, the bikes get Bel 995's because the Visual Alert requires an earphone jack.  You must have a very nice detector. It would be nice not to be annoyed by the regular false positives.

What does this mean?   "mine uses GPS to automatically adjust sensitivity"

I googled that and read the reviews. That's a nice piece of kit right there.
