Okay, who has or has had a radar detector mounted on their sled? Any problems with the cold? Do they draw alot of juice?

Well with the state of Wis. implementing a 55mph speed limit... it only makes sense.

Why not? I can't believe nobodys done it. I had one on my Harley, and that thing can barely break the speed limit.

I haven't personally done it, but I know a lot of people who have gotten pretty damn creative with mounting them on their sport bikes. I've seen such things as hiding the actual detector in the air intake vents with each LED light removed and placed on a backer plate up near the guage cluster. This way the only thing visible is the LED panel for the drive to see. I have also seen similar mounts where there is a plug in for headphones near the guage cluster so the rider can listen to the radar, but I imagine that it would drive me nuts after awhile. If you have a DC plug, I wouldn't see why a radar wouldn't work on the sled.
Where there's a will, there is definitely a way.

I think there are some pocket mounted ones made for bikes
Lol,I never though of that!
What do I get for being a "guinie pig"? I'll get ta work on it this weekend on my srx (no battery). I think I atleast need a sticker, not a TY one, but one of those little stars that say "good job". If I short out my detector it can say "nice try". If I short out something on the sled and start a fire I get yamaholic's sled.

Be happy with a 55mph speed limit, its been 50mph on the trail, lakes, and ditches in Minnesota ever since I can remember. I honestly think its should even be lower than 50mph on the trails anyhow with all the nutjobs out there.

I was told that in NY, they can't enforce speeds on the lakes due to the fact that NY doesn't condone riding onto bodies of water, and they have no public trails which cross the water.
Now I know some which point you in the direction of the water, but non that continue onto the water and you pick up the trail signs on the other side of the lake or stream.

I'd imagine that most of the yamaha's are similar but I know my 96 xt has a constant 12v line that I tapped for my GPS. No battery. It has 12v at idle, WOT, etc. I got the info from here.
