Valentine 1 install on 4th gen

I just finished installing a mount for the V1 on my bike. I took some pics to
document the install.

For power, see my other thread about installing a fuse panel:
Fuse box installation on 4gen

I have a stem techmount to hold the Zumo.

Go to Home Depot or Lowes and go to the fencing section.
Get one of these plates. they go for $0.60 cents

velcro straps
velcro pad

Bend the plate as needed and paint it black

Using a dremmel tool, cut an opening on the metal to secure the velcro strap.
(you don't want the radar to fall off, do you?)

Attach the velcro pad and install the new piece to the set up.
