A little help with all this

I'd echo what Bob says. I'd stay away from cordless because the performance is so bad.

Of those three detectors you mentioned, Go with the Bel unit. you can also get plastic moulded covers for them.

In your particular circumstance, I believe Al's preference would ultimately be mine, as well.

The Beltronics chassis are constructed of a more substantial material as compared to other value-priced models and thus will be more conducive to exposure or partial exposure to the outside elements being mounted on your bike. Additionally the ergonomic controls/buttons will likely be easier to work with by your hands when gloved.

Also, if and when you decided to go wireless to your helmet, then you'll have more options with the Beltronics models.

Mstaples,

I almost forgot to mention:

In response to your initial post, I spoke to Danny at Buyradardetectors and he agreed to create a new series of additional value-priced combo-deals tailored to your particular circumstance.

They should start appearing sometime later today.

Hope this helps you out.

Mstaples,

Go Bel 965 over the others and I agree with SpeedCheetahAl, stay far away from cordless radar detectors. I think you will be happy with the Bel Unit.

OK. I need to check with my service guys to see how to tap into a power source on my particular bike.
