Thx!

Awesome!

CZroe · May 8th, 2011, 09:41 PM

Vury cool.

I want a dual-channel one (front/rear) with simultaneous DVR recording.

I kept my fender stock for years and will be installing my undertail soon, so I guess I'm out. *shrug*

Will there be another one?

i entered

CZroe · June 15th, 2011, 08:00 PM

I would have entered if it was still open through the summer. I knew I would be too busy otherwise.

I picked it up from the post-office today and installed it after I got home from work. As someone who is not mechanically inclined, the instructions seemed intimidatingly simple. Turns out, the installation was just super easy - all the parts you need are included and the only tools you need already came with the bike (except perhaps for a knife to open stuff and to cut a wire).

It took me 2 hours to install because I screwed up and took 3 tries to put on the plate leds and spent way more time for the double-bubble than was necessary. For someone who has a clue, it could probably be done in 30 min or less.

For functionality, I only had time to do a quick spin around the block after dark and the nightvision is great - you can see behind you really well, if a car gets up on your ass it may be a bit blinded by the headlights but the quality seems really nice. I'm riding to work tomorrow so I'll get to try it out in daylight and I'll take some pictures.

All in all I was very impressed with the easy installation and it seems exactly as advertised. The only issue I have right now is with finding the best way to deal with the lcd wires so that they're out of the way yet easy to attach/detach when I take the screen off.

That's a nice system...really it's a good price too for what you get. Would you have to use their double bubble windscreen or do you know if the quality of the windscreen is as good as Zero Gravity?

I'd like to get a ZG windscreen, but if what this system has is decent, I will just get this whole kit and have the awesome benefit of a rearview camera!

Isn't that what the rear view mirrors are for? JK

I think the point of the new windscreen is to give you more clearance to fit the video screen and to provide a bit of shade on the display, so other big windscreens might work just as well. I don't really know what to say about the quality as I don't have anything to compare it to besides stock. It seems pretty basic to me, just a dark shaded piece of plastic without any logos.

Here's a quick pic that I took with my cellphone.
