    Default Darkness Rises

    Hi Folks,

    I've wandered around the site today and found some good info. I'm pleased to join up and take part in the discussion.

    I've been riding motorcycles since I was seven years old, starting with scooters and dirt bikes, and when I was in High School some decades ago, a Kawasaki 750 carried me there.

    I am a thrillseeker, and I love the speed, but I don't try to impress people with my stupidity while in traffic. I've had literally hundreds of minor crashes on dirt bikes, with only a couple of fairly minor injuries, but thankfully no accidents on a street bike. (Angels watch over fools and little children. )

    I'm just now in the process of installing a new M25 laser jammer system on my favorite beast of burden, which was what brought me to your site. I'm concerned about the amount of clearance under the nose while braking. I don't want to smash the emitter down onto the front fender.

    I would seriously appreciate the advice of anyone who has experience placing a Blinder emitter on a late model 'Busa.

    Oh, incidentally, the wife and I are both Star Trek nuts, so we are calling the blinder my new
    " Cloaking Device. "


    Currently my garage holds:

    '09 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom, limited edition- Black (because my wife likes low & slow)

    '08 Suzuki Hayabusa - Darkness

    Power Commander
    X-TRE timing retard eliminator
    K&N air filter
    HotBodies smoked air scoops with hidden LED turn signals
    Kuryakyn lighting system w/ 20 LED modules ( for some color )
    Sixty61 Blade type levers
    Sixty61 Gatling style frame sliders and bar ends
    Scorpio alarm system w/ 2 way pager & proximity alert
    all chrome powder coated to BLACK
    windshield blacked out
    taillight blackout kit
    Laser Veil coating on headlight, helmet, & license
    Laser Diffuser plate cover
    Passport Escort 9500ix radar/laser/GPS-traffic camera detector
    Blinder M25 laser jammer

    Welcome. check out the motorcycle section for tips on the blinder install.
    Motorcycle Protection - Radar Detector Jammer Forum

    As a long time sport bike rider and ex motorcrosser I can relate to your past.
    I have used a rd on my sportbike but never installed a Laser Jammer.

    Thanks Z, and everyone for the welcome and the info.

    Naturally, I'm more than willing to post a pic of my dark steed.

    This one is from a couple of months ago, before the frame sliders and laser jammer were added. I'll post a few more "after" shots when I get the jammer in place.




    Then again, maybe I won't post a pic right away...

    Now I see why you were calling them a "tease", Stealth Stalker. I am indeed a NOOB, and unable to insert images until I get to a 15 post count. I suppose this is #2. ( No pun intended )

    If you guys want to see my ride, you can do the old copy & paste method to my FLICKR account. Of course you'll have to supply your own http and www type stuff...

    Now I'm off to check out those links and mounting tips for this Blinder emitter.

    Plus 5 for figuring out the work-around.
