Tpoppa Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Pretty much over the fund raising efforts of traffic police. It's time to use some counter measures. Who can recommend a good radar/laser detector for a motorcycle? A helment mounted LED would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1crusher Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've had very good success with Escort products. Don't have anything fancy just what I need and works well, Escort Passport 8500 X50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've got both of the above. A Valentine one and an escort. Both perform well. I prefer the escort on the bike. I've got it wired to my headphones, instead of a visual I prefer audio.I'd sell the Valentine for a fair price possibly...maybe...I dunno...

Tonyblaze Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 With the majority use of manual laser guns now do you guys have good luck with the detectors these days? prices are steep but worth it if the results are consistent.

dustinsn3485 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I have good luck with mine. It's saved me countless times. The times I've encountered police using the laser gun it seems they can't hit the bike. Mine will sound off three or four times, but they never pull out and there has definitely been reason to a time or two.I ride a lot of two lane and back roads, the police usually just have their radar running, both of mine have picked up the signal in plenty of advance time for me to get slowed down.

magley64 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 I just keep my eyes peeled, I can usually spot a cop and slow down before radar can pick up my bike, especially in traffic. I haven't had much success with radar detectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Mac Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have great luck with Escort Pasport 8500 X50, Escort Solo S3, and the H.A.R.D. heads up display alert led. Also Veil Coating G4. Most of all be aware of your environment and location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
