mounting radar with damper in the way??

this might be obvious or stupid to ask, but I'm lost.. I am getting a damper for my 900rr this week, but I was also planning on one day putting a radar detector on my bike. I know most people buy that mount that drops into the triple, but if the damper is already taking up that space, where do you mount it?? Thanks in advance!

Re: mounting radar with damper in the way??

Mount it to your helmet in a way it projects the info on the inside of the wind screen. make sure it doesnt shine in the middle... I know they started making a helmet like this but i have had the idea when the F22 raptor was using this to project info on a peace of glass in the cock pit in the early 90's.... prob cost a lot of money too

Thats cool, but that still leaves me with the original questions of where do I mount the actual radar detector unit if my triple is already being used up by the steering damper... I dont want to do the suction cups, cause thats just too risky..
