I went ahead and ordered this unit.

[schreijo]

Got the Crusader installed and used it on the 22 mile ride home.  Seemed to be working.  Had it set on "city" so the garage door openers didnt send false alarms.  THey\ installer put the alert light between the speedo and Tach on the fairing dash.  Should be easy to see.  THere is also a setting that turns the pod backlight off and the pod will flash on when radar is detected.

I had a email conversation with Whistler and they are developing a waterproof audio alert that can be added to my unit at sometime in the future.  THe guy at Whistler was not real sure on when it will be available.  

First chance I get I'll take some pics and post them.

Last weekend I had a chance to use the Cruisader on a ride from Chicago to Conesville Iowa.  At higher rpms the alert for a laser would be triggered.  So I called Whistler and my installer.  The short story version is the installer put a power line filter on and I have not had any "rpm" laser alerts since the power filter has been put on.  I do think not having an audio alert is a drawback but not a major one.  I'll try to get some pics posted soon.

As promised here are 3 pics of the installed Cruisader.  I think it is a good product that could be great when Whistler make the Audio alert available.  It is a bit hart to see the sensor below the headlamp but it is there.  The other sensor is buried inside the faiirng.  The added alert light between the speedo and tack flashes a blue tinted light when activated.  Harley provides as standard equipment on the SCEG a toggle switch for an accessory that I used as the on/off switch.

Thanks for the updates and pics.

THe power line filter is specific to the detector.  Is this what you are asking.  THe filter only effects the power supply to the detector.

In all honesty the Cruisader sucks at detecting radar/laser and I have done extensive testing on that unit.

If you are looking for a good radar detector system, check out what I installed on my 2003 Ultra at www.stealthhog.com

BTW, if anyone on the forum is interested in any of the equipment we sell let me know. We will offer a 5% to 10% discount if you call and ask for me

Also we do have the Cruisader in stock. On the site we list of $379.00 but call me and we can sell a few units at $245.00

Very interesting bit of information.  I viewed the two links that are attached and found those equally interesting.  I sent you an email and look forward to hearing back from you.
