Standard radar detectors were not built for motorcycles and were never intended to be used on them. Most detectors use an audio device to post the driver that radar had been detected, and are therefore inappropriate for bike riders because they cannot be heard. Furthermore, most have long cords and poor mounting options, not to mention the fact that they are not weatherproof. As both motorcycles and radar detectors have become more popular, however, the request for bike radar detectors has increased dramatically.
Manufacturers now yield cordless detectors with an earphone jack so that the rider can hear alerts. For instance, Bel has released a model specifically for motorcycles, while guide and Whistler make models with earphone jacks.
Radar Detectors Review
Important considerations when shopping for radar include band detection, length of detection, potential to send a jamming signal, and, of course, price. In expanding to these concerns, anyone concerned in purchasing a bike radar detector should keep the following in mind: Does the detector come with an ear jack? Is it weatherproof, or can it be enclosed in a weatherproof container? Is the detector mountable?
The guide Passport 8500 X50 is beloved for bike riders. In expanding to an ear phone jack, this model is extremely sensitive to X-band, K-band and Ka-band radars. When set in its ""ExpertMeter"" mode, this model allows the rider to see up to eight radar signals, as well as their private bands and strengths, simultaneously. In addition, the display glow settings include a ""dark mode"" for stealth use. One method of facility for this model is to tie the 8500 into the rider's helmet speakers using a coarse universal stereo mini-plug patch cord. The unit can be mounted with suction cups to the windshield.
Although the niche for bike radar detectors continues to grow, most models will still lack in at least one area. Thankfully, most detector retailers sell attachments that allow cordless models to be converted for use with motorcycles.
