Sorry for the multiple pics! Used it on the way home which is about 40 miles and went off twice. 1st time said there was a police office 4000 ft ahead and there was (this model has the bluetooth which accesses Escort Live which is their mobil network) which did amaze me. I was most happy it wasn't going off with false alarms every 5 minutes. The other time it went off was when I passed the police officer union hall which made sense. Hopefully will keep me from getting another da.. ticket!

Thanks very much for those photos! I have a couple of questions...
Are those stock handlebars, and if not, how much wider are they than stock? I looked at my stock bars and it seemed like no matter how I would mount it (control mount or handlebar mount), I would still be firing the thing
through the windshield, which Radar Roy said would negate it's ability to pick up lasers. I don't want to use more than about a 3" extension bar on the mount, as I don't want it sticking up so far it looks silly.
Part of my problem is that I have a Freedom shield, which is wider than your shield seems to be.
I'd be really interested to know how well your unit picks up radar being fired at you from the LEFT side of the road? It would seem to me that with the width of my RG windshield combined with the distance from the shield to the handlebar, that this would cut off (or inhibit) a lot of signals from one side of the road or the other, depending on where you mounted it.
Thanks again for your time!
