    I set up my rears with the left rear slightly higher than the right to try and account for different angles between level and overpass shots. BRD thought this was fine at that time, has further testing shown this not to be the case any longer?
    you are a special case with a small footprint I probably wouldn't recommend that for you. BRD and I talk about this stuff quite a bit so if he told you to do something then I would stick with it.

    With respect to this test the user had a triple setup with 2 heads on the upper part of the front facia and 1 head in the lower portion of the grille. This is not optimal because you increase the risk of cross talk between the sensors.

    Gotcha, I do have my tag light housing that protrudes between the rear sensors.
    It wasn't so much that BRD advised me to do that, as I thought about it and asked if it was okay, just didn't want to give the impression that conflicting advice had been given.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Seriously if you want to obsess about something think about your helmet and your jacket

    Not obsessing, just noticed the sensors on the same plane mentioned in Mirage's write up. I was JTG & JFG with single F & R sensors before with Ga Speed shooting so I'm expecting the quad setup should still be good but haven't had an opportunity to test against vpr yet and at the speeds I like to travel...maybe I do obsess a little

    Helmet & jackets are black with no reflective material and all bike reflectors removed btw.

    Your install on your bike is perfect. Mirage was referring to a truck install where the center sensor was mounted over 1 1/2 feet lower than the other two sensors near the headlights.

    Valentino Rossi yellow? I get what you're saying, my helmet was targeted with the non vpr guns including the TSS, iirc Ga Speed got one pt @ 90 ft, once.
