Essential, but issues in mounting

I have been using these radars for several years now, and I believe they are essential for those riding on public roads. One thing missing, however, is mounting flexibility. Garmin presumes that all riders have 10-12 inches of exposed seat post. Unfortunately, those with classic diamond frames, or a saddle bag, or touring bags, lack this. It needs a seat stay mount. I have tried using the pieces included, but sadly, they do not work well except on the seat post.

Pros

Love the price break

Cons

Expensive compared to other bike tail lights and radars
