Does anyone know where to buy a similar product here in the states? I have looked everywhere. Legal speeding used to carry them but have stopped for some reason. http://www.radardirect.co.nz/new/motorbike_radar/BOXES/index.html

I had one of those on an Escort, and it totally flooded in a rainstorm in Texas. Wouldn't recommend it. With that being said I bought mine from Aerostich, who doesn't appear to carry them any longer either.

Bought one of these: http://www.legalspeeding.com/radarbox.htm this time around.

Doug, Thanks for the link. I used to have one those but it took up to much room on my dash. Then I bought the plastic one from legal speeding.It fits perfect for my installation. It lasted several years but it is now cracking. I also prefer it because I can push the buttons thru the thin plastic case. I wonder why everyone quit selling them?

Probably because they did not work. I have owned both the product referenced by the OP and the one mentioned by Toy Hauler and found neither satisfactory. Of course since I now run with the LED alert system sold by Marc Parnes Products sitting atop the V1, neither of the rain covers would work anyway.

Brian, I still have that same cover I bought from Legal Speeding at CCR in Missouri and I have been happy with it. It is now darker due to the UV rays but I have had zero issues with rain, and we did get poured on 3 days in a row during our Fort Bragg ride a couple of years ago.
I am using a BMR shelf BTW, if that makes any difference.
I wouldn't mind replacing mine because of the discoloration, so let us know what you find.

An XXL Magnum condom will stretch over it and provides outstanding protection. Besides, it is an ego boost to walk into the pharmacy and ask a female clerk for the largest size condoms they sell and watch the reaction!

I realize this is an old thread, but since I was researching it and also found a vendor for one listed as unavailable, I figured I would attach the link.

For my Valentine V1 I used a Pelican 1020. Worked well for over 100,000 miles. I permanently mounted it to the wind wing to the right of the windshield. I have pictures of it, but I am not at home now so cannot access them.

I would appreciate a look David as I just purchased a V1 and am looking at mounting and waterproofing options. Thanks

Maybe it's just me but if it's raining and the roads are wet, not gonna be doing a lot of speeding......why not just put it in the saddlebag?

I've had one that looks similar to this one on my bike for about 3 years. Works very well, but mine was only $40 then.

It's always good to know when a bureaucrat is around....

Used the radarbox since 08 on my RT and also have one for a K-GT. A little bigger than some but it works- many rain miles, never removed for washing, etc. Mounted up higher on a shelf on both bikes but also have a H.A.R.D. that I use with some of the helmets I own.

I prefer to "permanently" mount stuff to the bike rather than have a bunch of removables. IMO, constant removal invites a connection/electrical failure eventually- probably when you would least want it. GPS's are also locked to the bikes and not removed.
