Whistler Cruisader Radar Detector for Motorcycle

[bluestratos]

I just ordered ths from Buy Radar Dectectors.com and it is coming with a free heads up display for a helmet that is worth $59.00. Cost is 129.99 and it will fit where my current gas guage is (2 1/8" round). It also shows battery voltage and temperature but you can choose your own layout on the digital face. It has a remote radar antenna and a remote lazer antenna. It it fits this should be the perfect device for our bikes (I need to find out how deep the space is behind the current fuel guage). It should arrive next Monday but it may be a bit before I can install it due to cold weather hear in the great pacific northwest.

Regards,

Randy

I have this on my Spyder, mounted in a surface guage pod. You will need aan extension to mount the rear laser sensor since the wire is too short. Its a mini plug, like a stereo headphone jack.

Good to know about the extension, thankyou. Did you try to mount in the gauge location? It looks like you have something else there righ now.

I have Pioneer tweeters in the guage holes.
My rear sensor is mounted on the top of the trunk and the front one is mounted below the windshield. Temp sensor is run out and around the front trunk lid and shows true temp outside.

The guage fits fine and there was a great spot next to it to install the LED warning light. I have taken some pics and I will do a write of the install when all the parts are in place.

Regards and Merry Christmas to all

What size are they? The max is 800x600 pixels, as I recall. You may have to resize them.

Ok.. here we go. I also added the Velcro strap pictures of how I manage storage in my side bags and a pic of the marine switch I cut in to control my fog lights. I dont use the com setup.

What did you use for the straps in your bag lids?

 

[bluestratos]

I used 1" Velcro I bought on rolls, both male and female types. I was able to use the 4 screws in the lid that hold the outer shell on, and since they have a built in washer I did not need to add backing. I used a leather punch to make neat holes for the screws. In the main bag areas I used short black screws and stainless washers on the back and middle strap, the front one has a small bolt, nut and washer so I could keep is as far forward as possible. I allowed about 4" of overlap which secures the loads tightly. I dont have a center strap on the right side (I tend to store a half helmet in there) but I can add if ever necessary.

I just like the ones for the recesses in the lids. My BMW bags have elastic straps on the lids, so you can use both the lid and the bag for storage. It has spoiled me rotten! I may have to follow your lead and add some straps to the Spyder.
