11. And the H.A.R.D. System is wireless? All this sounds to good to be true.
It is. You are dreaming. You also have just won the Isle of Man race by 10 laps. Because of your total domination of the track, once you cross the finish line the track will be converted into a school bus driving course. The three girls from the old ZZ Top 'Legs" video sweep you away into a private jet (BTW - the three girls are on the same drugs as Dick Clarke and they haven't aged one day since making the video). When the jet lands you are back on your private island where a crowd of your 500 closest friends inform you that you are Time's Man of the Year and the Pope has blessed your motorcycle. It is now the 'Official Vatican Two Wheeled God Mover.' While your head is spinning with all this activity, you hear the voice of your cranky neighbor. 'Hey, get this @#$%*&# motorcycle off my lawn.' I just had the Chemlawn guy here and it is leaking oil.' You have been startled out of your backyard hammock and run to move your bike. But when you get to the bike, you see something plugged into your radar detector. It is the H.A.R.D. System. Some dreams do come true.

I want this product... it's not *that* much more than Radar screamer and it seems a lot nicer. You could probably hide the detector with this too, in case you got pulled over.

My "heads up" unit can be seen from above the windscreen as well and is VERY obvious to the pilot... I like mine better, and it cost $30...

I have that for my car, it's the passport 8500 right??

I don't know if that would be enough to catch my attention. Where did you mount the actual unit?

what if you got caught out in the rain with that?? that would suck!

I just ordered the HARD system...I actually had been looking at this for a couple of months..I'll post a review at some point.

I've got a nekked SV so there are very few places to mount the "direct smart cord" that Msquid has....No exposed wires with this thing...we shall see but there is a 30 day trial period if it sucks.

Pearldog, which detector do you have?

I'm in the same boat as you in terms of having no bodywork.. I'm curious where you're going to rig it up.

Bensv-
I have an 8500. This is what I'm thinking now..I have a barstem platform that mounts on the handlebars..I will velcro/strap the 8500 on top of the platform and then mount the Hard transmitter underneath (probably double sticky tape). I need to run the power directly from the battery into the Hard system and then to the 8500....at this point all in theory.

BTW-I live near you so when I get it set up you can check it out sometime on a ride, motomarket, etc. or it you don't have too many miles in your legs we should meet up for a spin.

$160??? DIY from radioshack for much cheaper.

I like the under the windshield idea better though. If I am flying through some twisties the last thing I want is a red light flashing in my face. It may save you from a ticket but distractions and speeding tend to not be a good thing.
