Tank mounted Camera and windshield config
 

I am in the market for a new windscreen, and will be buying a tank mount for my video camera.

I need to know if a dark smoke, or a light smoke is too dark for the camera to see anything.

I will go clear if I need too, but like the look better of the dark smoke.

Any other ideas appriciated too of course.


I saw http://www.handsfreedirect.com/dsr100.html this but I dont know how I would convince the wife why I need ANOTHER video camera... since I already own a MINI DV and soon will own a 30 gig HDD. :)

Anything other than clear does not work that well . After putting the dark smoked sheild I rigged it to fit in the fake air duct on the right side . Works ok , Just not as well as seeing the tach and speedo on board IMHO .

Ya that kinda what I was thinking...

Thanks


Anyone else?

Gotta have clear. Helmet cam is the way to go though for the best shots.

Ya I already planted that bug in the wifes ear, maybe for my birthday lol

Anyone have any prefrence over OEM style and Double Bubble Zero Gravity screens?

I am gonna with clear, but not sure which is better. I dont race, but ride hard sometimes, and dont really go that fast anymore... well not over 100 anymore ;)

Just know that a DB windscreen can lead to a melted gauge cluster if you're not careful.......:eek:

Well I better go with stock then, since I live in Hawaii and the sun is strong enough already to melt things.

Got my mount in the mail today, installed and static tested it.

Also got a new Video camera, but gonna test the mount out with the OLD one first lol

heres a couple pics with the old vid camera

Coast Guard rocks

lol sure beats the Navy! Thank God I got out and wised up!

Heres some pics of the mount and screen installed finally.

Also the new throttle lock is installed too

Awsome, now let's see the video!

lol workin on it! I gotta wait for a nice day to go ride. This weekend has been rainy here so not good for filming
