If any of you folks out there have a radar detector, jammer set up, do y'all mind sharing with me what kind of setup you guys have?
I already have a couple of points and I'm not really trying to earn more. I, sadly, live in the only state that is illegal to have the radar detectors to use in a vehicle. Virginia.
S it kinda have to be as discreet as possible.
I thought they had special toys that would detect your radar detector??? if not let me know because I got a ticket for that shit driving through Reston.

They ALL have that toy. AND..., they'll ticket you whether you are doing anything naughty or not.
Find a "rabbit" and hang back at a safe distance. Hope your bike isn't RED. ;D

Interesting I always thought it was only VA an DC. When did connecticut join that list?
Anyways OP, I wouldnt bother running radar on your bike. And if you did, there's really no point as alot of jurisdictions have switched over to lidar. In which case you'll need a laser jammer. I haven't kept up with it for the past 2 years but 2 years back laser interceptor was the best jammer out there.
But then again why does anyone need it for a bike? Most cops don't bother with "non sports" bikes.

This.

I disagree.
Here's the good example of how to properly use "rabbit" AND detector.

To OP,
if you don't have that much knowledge and experience in the world of "counter measuring", I 'd suggest to read this page first. (Rule #1, know your enemy).

The list of radar bands used by town

Then, decide which detector to use (choose your weapon).
Then, you can start playing with the idea of stealth mount.
A lot of people get kick out of beating the speed trap. They spend time and money (for the equipment, for research). If you are looking for a simple solution to avoid speeding ticket, installing radar detector may not be right for you.
