Escort 8500 X-50 Install

The Escort 8500- X50 radar detector was then installed.

A Stemstand mount was used to mount the Escort 8500 X50. This mount slides into the steamhole found on many sport bikes. The radar detector is held in place by placing industrial Velcro (supplied) on the mount and detector.

A direct wire cord was then tapped into the accessory power cable on the R1. This allows power to the detector while the motorcycle is operating, and turns off power when the motorcycle is turned off.

The Escort 8500 X-50 was then placed onto the mount, plugged in and powered up. Total install time, 15 minutes.
