Author Message   Desertjeff Posted on Sunday, January 26, 2014 - 10:50 pm:        I am looking to mount a radar detector on my Uly. Wondering if any of you have done it and what mounts work best. I am thinking about a Beltronics 500 pro and would be interested in your thoughts on that as well.   Othrider Posted on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - 12:42 pm:        Slipstreamer radar mount on left handlebar, sets behind windscreen. Added 3M dual lock tape to bottom of escort 8500 and mounting plate -works great, available from Aerostitch.com.   Glenn Posted on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - 01:34 pm:        I made up a plate attached by velcro to the master cylinder and then velcro on the bottom of the detector to the plate. I also put a rubber band over the top of the detector to the bottom of the master cylinder to keep it from vibrating.   Hoover_uly Posted on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - 09:08 pm:        Another option is RAM mounts. Check out their site - lots of different options for attaching electronics. I don't have a radar detector but you may find something that will work. Found a nice mount for an old GPS and my Android phone.   996dl Posted on Thursday, February 06, 2014 - 10:00 am:        techmounts.com   Desertjeff Posted on Sunday, February 16, 2014 - 11:15 am:        Well Glenn I must say that looks like a simple and elegant solution. I think I am going to bend up some aluminum and go that route. I might add a little rubber to dampen the vibration it looked like a good idea I will copy from techmounts.   Glenn Posted on Sunday, February 16, 2014 - 12:59 pm:        Yes, direct unobstructed view for the detector to the road, cheap and easy to make and I had all the materials on hand. Make sure you use the heavy duty hook and loop Velcro. Radio Shack sells it. A thicker piece of stock than I used will help with the vibration too along with the rubber you mention. Neither the plate nor the detector has ever slipped off. Good luck!   Ratbuell Posted on Sunday, February 16, 2014 - 11:18 pm:        Why bother? The Uly is non-ferrous, it's plastic and aluminum. We have one of those 'your speed is...." signs near me, and I can routinely get within about five feet (at highway speeds) of the sign before it even knows I'm there.
