Hi all
just took delivery of a left over new from the crate 08 Special Edition, have only done 60 initial miles so far, most of that in the rain. I am 54, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, haven't been without at least one street bike since I was 16, and this ZX 14 is the slickest of them all....
I have on order GIVI V35 hard bags and mounts, a Zero Gravity Touring Screen, GenMar bar risers, the 3M complete protection package from TheTankSlapper.biz, a centerstand, passenger grab handle, etc. This bike should make one hell of a sports tourer.
I also have a brand new Valentine 1 radar/laser detector, and am trying to figure out where to mount it so it can still "see" behind the bike for radar/laser as well as up front. The Techmount, Ram, MountGuys mounts seem mainly intended for the top fork mount center, or clamped to the bar, and I need to get the Valentine 1 out far enough that my body is not blocking the rear facing sensors. I was looking at maybe trying to find/fabricate a mounting bracket to attach the Valentine 1 maybe to a fairing mirror stalk on the right side.
Has anyone figured out how to mount a Valentine 1 so that both the front facing and rear facing sensors could both still work? I have both the remote visual display, and the remote audio output, so don't need to be able to reach the detector, I can control it remotely. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Paul
