Is the part of the head that "sees" the lidar the little bubble on the left of the head (to the right on this picture)?
Yes
Should I turn the head over so the bubble is more in the center of the bike away from the edge so it can see better?
I would because that should give you equal receiver coverage from extreme left and right angle shots.
I would also turn it over
It's also a bit back in the air intake. Do you think this will work?
You could move it forward a tad. The advice I have received suggests the best position is one that offers an unobstructed view of the road, mounted level and parallel with the road.
X2 you need to move it forward a tad so that the LI has a better chance to see and jam the gun.
Should I install another head in the other side? Or is this one enough?
Other forum members more experienced than me please comment. I would imagine that one head is enough up front (and the other head on the back of the bike for rear shots?)
I would also think that one head would be enough if you flipped it over and moved it forward. I would pm racerx as he has done allot of testing on his motorcycle.
Anyone know how much power this uses? I'm trying to judge how much it's drawing so I can calculate power availability on the bike.
Sure: From the LI Manual:
Power: 12-15 V
CPU Box current: 70mA (max 700mA)
Outer sensors: 30mA
Operational temperature: -30 to +70 C
You are welcome..
Best,
