Yes , I'm well stoked!
I now have 2 loves in my life.
Progress has been slow as I'm glad to say I got to spend time with my other love and she takes priority every time
But yeah, better pics to follow (especially for the DIYs) and that was with a flash lol. Maybe I'll have to try with the garage open for extra light but its freezing outside over here.
What doesn't help is the limited space so I cant get good angles. I'll sort something out and that's a hawaii 5 0 promise

the inherent problem of owning black, even when on a stand they are too quick for the camera!

Holy Columbo skills! From that small glimpse, you could tell that was a golf bag! But like the idea, should make it alot quicker round the course

Maybe, I haven't looked into it yet.
Apparently the visibility with my indicator mirrors is worse than stock and I like checking my mirrors, I do it alot in my car. Really miss the rear view mirror on the bike, so that's the driving force behind this, well that plus I don't want to be turning my head on the motorway too much.
But once I have next months pay in through the post and I've worked my way though all the mods so far (I have to get though adding what I have so far first as I'm finding it quite hard with the limited space to plan it all and minimise the times I remove panels/modify wiring etc) I will be adding this recorder (it comes in a package with a camera)
and they have a video switch to allow multiple cameras
so maybe its possible, time will tell

Yup, right above the cluster is where it will go, fingers crossed. This screen is the main reason I went for the dark smoke double bubble. It should help to cut out any glare - the screen does come with a tiny sun shield and has adjustable contrast brightness etc but every bit helps and I've had to use laptops out on the airfield - even slightly sunny days make that an almost impossible task.
I want to try and shield it as much as possible from water too as the unit doesn't appear to be sealed, water will deffo get into it around the buttons if submerged so I'm gonna experiment with some clear silicon which should be flexible enough to allow the buttons to operate and help prevent any water getting in. All to come in the DIYs
Will be a couple of weeks all in at least.
I'm trying to do the rear of the bike first, but I now have to wait for a delivery of my 2nd tail tidy as I was a bit heavy handed and cracked it by overtightening some of the bolts
that and by the time I worked out how to use the rim tape applicator, I had enough left for only 1 side of 1 wheel lol. I'll be damned if I'm using the applicator the way they intended, dunno, instructions were non existent, but it came out perfectly with no wobbling or creasing
So I'll be posting a DIY on that too
