Call out to CJ and Ring Photo Radar Covers

CJ they are in Scottsdale, know anything about their product??

Ring, thinking about 407 ETR costs, (most expensive toll highway in North America)I know you ride for free as camera angles are too tight from above because you have the beer box, this cover would be less dough

Opinions everyone please.

Those (in general) don't work for crap. There was some report on it a few years ago.

+1 on that report, a waste of time and money, $50 bucks worth in this case!

Tolls here are mostly free for bikes and the camera vans all take photos as you approach them so unless I put a plate on the front of my bike I'll pass!

I know they are illegal to use in AZ. I think Mythbusters had an episode about them and the consensus was they aren't that effective. I can't say whether it would work for you or not.

Not something I need as there are no cameras in use in my area.

Thanks Ray; Ive aways had my doubts as to whether or not that stuff worked. My beerbox does a perfect job on the 407.
My pals with their Ultras don't have a problem either.

That would be good if it was, in the past they would deduct the photo fee off the invoice since there is no place to install a transponder, but they were charging for the km travelled.

CJ your right, Mythbusters just had a rerun show on those covers and sprays that are supposed to block the view.. NOTHING worked ,they even tried hair spray as that was supposed to blocks pics of the plate

It works out about a $1.00 a mile to travel that road by the time all the fees and taxes are added on. Its more like robbery.
