It seems that most of the police around here now use LASAR instead of RADAR to issue speeding tickets rendering a detector mostly useless. I now have a black bike, jacket, and helmet and I started running with headlight covers coated with Veil anti-lasar paint. Judging by the lack of speeding ticket and length of time they kept the unit pointed at me I am not detectable over about 50 feet away, I was really, really close when it finally locked on. I really don't like the headlight covers though and was thinking of changing the headlights to HID projectors and blacking out everything else inside the headlights.
It is "LASER" not "LASAR"...
It is true that the smaller the object's front/back profile and the less reflective the font/back of the object is, the more difficulty the operator will have hitting it, locking on, and getting a valid reading. It is actually not much different with RADAR, just the type of reflectivity involved. From behind, their best target on a dark motorcycle will be your license plate... any alteration of that would be illegal (masking, coatings, covers, etc).
My question is how well do the LASAR units lock onto projector style HID headlights? I know they have better reflectors but I am not sure what the lens will do to the lasar beam as far as being reflected back, also the reflector is smaller at 2.5 inches.
Real HID headlights are almost always projectors and have very little in the way of reflectors and would not be as usable for bouncing laser light back to a sender due to the thick lens, bright light, and tiny profile. Aftermarket replacement of just the Xenon bulbs with HID bulbs on a Concours will change nothing, and you can't alter the reflector or they will become useless.
Any LEO's care to chip in?
It is unlikely law enforcement officers will assist with your trying to evade speed measuring devices used by law enforcement officers, especially on a public forum.
