I got one for christmas and need to install it when the weather allows. Where did you mount the sensor? Could you post a picture of the location?

Yes - I have that photo of yours saved cuz I plan to do that myself after I paint the inner next month. I have the Chubby 575 bars which are a little higher, and with the sensor pointing kinda back and out it seems to work fine for now.
BTW: the model number of the Kisan is P115W-S

Thanks for the photos.........
Texasredneck............what size hole did you drill and does it fit tight??? I am worried about washing the bike and water getting down into the fairing. It looks to me like you install the sensor by pushing it up from the bottom of the hole, instead of from the top making for a snug weather-tight seal?

The key here is to take your time...don't recall the drill size, only that I started with a bit I *knew* to be too small, and stepped it up in size one increment at a time until it finally fit VERY snugly. With the Kisan unit, the sensor has a split plastic"collar" that slips over the sensor unit itself, which is what actually holds it in place. You can slide the sensor in from underneath through the hole (VERY tight fit), slip the collar in place, then put it in position. It can be somewhat intimidating, but it's actually pretty easy. Once done, you'll be embarrassed at how nervous you were....
If anyone's in mah neck o' the woods - New Braunfels, TX - an' are reluctant ta try it yerself, jest gimme a holler - we can do it in mah garage easily - takes more time ta set up than it does ta install!

I've had the Kisan variety on my SG, and before that on my RK, for over four years. In that time I haven't had one cager pull out in front of me, although I definitely don't assume I'm absolved for life from this problem.

Gonna install it tonight and do the spot lamp modifications as per the Redneck's suggestion.
