Hey Gang,

I've searched the forum and seen only a couple of RD mount post on here but is there any others that you all have that you can share the info or photos for me?

Can't decide which one is better, right now these are my option:

Techmount Stem Mount — HelmetHead Cycle™ Motorcycle / Powersport Accessories

The Radar that I will be using is Escorts 9500IX

I have the Techmount and it is excellent, I'd go with that. I used mine until I installed a Scotts steering damper, then I went with a mount that clamps to the top of the left fork tube. The Techmount worked better so unless you plan on installing a rotary steering damper I'd suggest going with that one.

hmm, wonder how well that would work as a gps mount?

I use the TechMount stuff on my RC and my VFR. No issues in 4-5 years of use. But.....here's the trick. Do NOT use plain jane Velcro to secure your detector or GPS or whatever. You should use 3M's DualLock "velcro-y" product. DualLock locks the item in place, with none of the wiggle that normal Velcro allows. But...don't use too much! I just use a thumbrnail-sized piece on each corner. If you use too much DualLock, you'll never get the item off the TechMount plate!!

Also, I use the H.A.R.D helmet mounted LED alert system Legal Speeding v2, cuz you'lll NEVER hear or see a detector going off when you're on the throttle!
And another thing, since I'm something of a radar detector expert: Always have your detector pointed a few degrees DOWN (just a few) so that you can maybe pick up a little radar bounce and scatter from the pavement. There is no scatter or bounce up in the air, so don't point your detector that way.
