Countermeasure Equipment
To ensure SML was properly challenged, Radar Roy installed the following countermeasure products on Frank Whisler's Yamaha R-1. (Whisler, a lucky guy from El Paso, got to keep all installed countermeasure products in exchange for the use of his bike).
Radar Detector: RadarBusters.com equipped the R-1 with an Escort 8500 X50. Rated the number one radar detector today in a recent evaluation by Motortrend Magazine. , The testing at Speed Measurement Labs shown that the X50 has over 11 miles of long-range radar detection capacity.

Laser Jammer: The R-1 was equipped with a Blinder M-20 active laser jammer. One active laser jammer head was mounted on the front and one on the rear of the motorcycle. The Blinder M-20 is the only active laser jammer that jams 100% of all police laser guns.

Detector Activation Alert Display: Many motorcyclists find it difficult to hear and/or see a radar detector alert. To help, Radar Roy attached a HARD System Transmitter to the radar detector and mounted a HARD System Receiver to the rider's helmet. The HARD System Receiver's bright LED light alerted the rider wirelessly to radar detector activation.
