Home-made Camera Mount
$20.00 Cdn in materials |
May 1st, 2001 at 9700 km |
This mod was built to mount a video camera on the gas tank for on-bike footage using some scrap components, and put together with aluminum. It was initially very effective in providing a steady camera platform. |
|
UPDATE - July 5th, 2002:
Camera mod performance deemed unsatisfactory due to increased vibration charactoristics of motorcycle, related to performance mods, affecting image stability of the camera. Next iteration of an on board camera mod will involve simpler light weight lipstick type camera slaved to the video camera recorder. |

Hella 55 watt Driving Lights
$59.00 Cdn |

Installed on engine guard, provides additional night time illumination that is desired for cornering. Extra rubber damping was required to keep bulb tungsten element from breaking up due to vibration. |

 |
UPDATE - July 5th, 2002:
Hella running light mod rendered unuseable due to installation of full fairing lowers over their previous installed location. New running lights will be sourced and installed elsewhere very soon. Mod has been found to be invaluable for reasons of safety and visibility |
