Custom Radar mount

[Rhythm]

Photos are worth a thousands words.  

The bolts, cap covers and rubbler expandable nuts (same type used for your windscreen) can be purchased from Home Depot, Lowes or any.

Using my recommend parts and a overhead mount I came up with this easy fix. The further down you mount it will decrease  your chances of getting your radar wet when riding in the rain.

Heres a photo of the caps for covering the bolts and bolts used. The only item not included in the photo above is the expandable nuts. The rubber expandable nuts are located in the same aisle way in Lowes or Home Depot with the other parts.

Decisions, decisions, whats a playa to do. Whatever you do, make sure it is bolted using the supplied cradle,velcro'd to a stem stand, or a recommend ram mount for you R/D.
The suction cups that come with R/D suck a55 and can't be trusted when mounted on a motorcycle windscreen.

Nice work TY, what did you drill the holes with?

(heavybusa @ Feb. 08 2007,19) Nice work TY, what did you drill the holes with?

A hammer and nail.

I placed tape on the marked area that needed drilling and slowly applied steady pressure to the drill bit. For safety apply aleast a three inch wide piece of tape over the marked area just in case the drill bit slips (rides) off the targetted area in order to prevent a scratch mark on the surface of your windscreen.

I may try that on my 82 CBX. During cold weather the suction cups and velcro don't work as well as I'd like. I have a stem stand on the Busa that worlks perfectly and lets me use my tankbag as well.

Very nice ... and top-quality work, too.
