Beagle, great news.
As an aside, how did you fix the camera under the headlight?
My drift Ghost S is held in a locking bracket with 3M (or similar) fixing the bracket.
When I fitted the camera to the CBR I had to make a bracket to connect the fittings supplisd to a fairing fixing. It is good and secure but I didn't think I could use the same type of fitting on my RT.
Details of your fitting would be welcome.
Take care
Barry

Barry,
The tube the camera is in is a piece of plastic rack shelve support thats in my greenhouse and was spare. The camera is wrapped in a layer of foam left over from fiitting wood flooring that acted as an underfelt. The bit attached to the tube is a plastic bit I had lying around and filed to suit the tubing. Its velcrode to the headlight.


There is a plastic loop at the rear of headlight underneath that the wire from the camera is attached by tywrap for added security.

This is their car mount. I would have considered this if I had known. The advantage of mine is the foam surrounding the camera helping with vibration.

The only issue would be corrosion if its metal. If you dont ride in the rain its no problem.
