    Interesting that they would pick the Solo 2, even after acknowledging the decreased range compared to it's corded sibling.

    Don't know about you, but I could stash my corded detector pretty quick...

    I like the stem bolt hole mounts too.

    Unfortunately in their efforts to be different, Triumph uses a closed machined stearing head bolt... so no hole.

    Mounting ideas?

    I'm pretty commited to using a RAM mount for my new detector.

    I've used one with my GPS V for a year now and like how sturdy it is. The GPS arm comes off a ball mounted on the back of the front...

    As weather and terrain effect radar and laser, is it safe to assume it will also effect my detector's ability to "see" radar?

    It seems in Washington State, I'm usually riding my Triumph in hilly...
  13. Where can I find what radar units are used near me?

    As it seems LE agencies register with the FCC for each band of radar used... is there any way to check/confirm state by state what types of radar are in use?

    I'm guessing all bands are registered...

    Can proximity to a radar "fry" my detector?

    A simple question to dispel what I think to be a local LE myth:
