magifesq Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Here's what I finished tonight - rear view closed loop camera (no recorder, just video) Parts list:Gas tank mount bracketColor Lcd Screen (6")Camera - home security with night visionDC Power Adapter (for camera)90 degree L bracket for mounting camera to rear footpegGeneral directions:*Find key-on 'hot spot' (12 volt source when key is on only)*Wire the LCD Screen and adapter into hot spot, wire camera and LCD connections*Mount LCD screen to bracket, mount bracket to gas cap*Hide Wires*Bolt camera to 90 degree L bracket, bolt bracket to right rear footpeg*Adjust camera angleRide Happy - I was considering doing away with mirrors totally and leaving this on my bike, common sense says it should be ok since it does what mirrors do. Knowing my luck I'd get stopped by some letter of the law Nazi.Pix to come later - too dark out to have good images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magifesq Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Resolution is ok, the screen was a cheepie couple years ago, screens have a lot more pixels now. Camera is all B/W with night vision - its pretty friggin sweet to quote the great Peter Griffin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
