I've been using Legal Speeding's H.A.R.D. system for a number of years and it works exceptionally well with the Escort detector.
This is from the legalspeeding website:
H.A.R.D. System Redesign Status
The Helmet Assisted Radar Detection (H.A.R.D.) System has been a very popular radar detector accessory for motorcyclists around the world since being introduced in 2001. Over the years there have been many changes, some subtle, some significant.
At the present time, the H.A.R.D. System is under going a major re-design. During the re-design,
we made the decision to remove the H.A.R.D. System from the market in order for us to concentrate all our engineering and design resources on the new version. We will not be releasing all the new features. But as a teaser, here are a few of the new features:
- Auto off – the H.A.R.D. System (V5) receiver will shut itself off automatically after a set amount of time (four hours of use). Before shutting itself down, the receiver will flash to notify rider of shut down. If the rider wants to keep the receiver on, simply touch the on / off switch and the four hour timer starts over.
- Weather Proof – the latest H.A.R.D. System receiver had a waterproof design. The new system will have both the receiver and transmitter designed to operate in adverse conditions.
- Standard Battery – the H.A.R.D. System V5 will utilize a standard, off the shelf battery that will provide a cost effective power source. There is a possibility of having a rechargeable option.
- Compatible with the Leading Radar Detectors – The H.A.R.D. System V5 will be compatible with the radar detectors from Adaptive, Beltronics, Escort, and Valentine.
- Plug-n-Play Design – the H.A.R.D. System V5 will keep the simple plug-n-play design that has made it so popular over the years.
- Visual or Audible Alert - the H.A.R.D. System V5 will offer the rider a choice of visual or audible radar warning.
At LEGAL SPEEDING we pride ourselves on using our own riding experience and those of other riders in the development and refinement of our products. We are open to any suggestions from experienced riders who are familiar with the use of radar detectors on motorcycles.
Time frame for the H.A.R.D. System V5 is getting closer. The H.A.R.D. System V5 will be extensively tested and certified before general release. We are anticipating the official release to be no later than Americade 2012 in Lake George, NY.

Looks like I'll have to wait a while. You got that right about old geezers. I'm 65 and still riding.
