2.) they dont work for the typical "sonar" radar systems 90% of cops use, just laser.

Buddy of mine has a motorcycle radar detector setup madeby Whistler I believe. It works awesome!!!! It is made just for bikes. Check that out

Whistler discontinued that model (and don't offer bike-specific models any more)... They didn't do too well on sensitivity tests at RadarBusters -- probably not that big a deal on a motorcycle (which paints a smaller picture).
On the other hand, you can still find them out there are close-out prices (under $200 now).

Waterproof
Big buttons (so you can use 'em with gloves)
Some form of secondary remote notification (light in the helmet or dash, etc) so you are more likely to notice.
Now all that said, for decades, riders have been using car-style ones simply mounted in waterproof boxes with great success, or using car-style split-systems (separate pick-up and display) with the pick-up mounted in the bike (behind the third-eye panel of the Kat for example). The waterproof box concept is a really good solution, BUT the heat inside those boxes in the summer tends to be really hard on the units.

If it stops you from getting one speeding ticket, it has paid for itself
