I was thinking about buying a camera mount but then came up with an idea to make my own.  Here is how I did it:

Step one: get an old mirror, remove the mirror and keep the stem.  Also get a piece of steel and drill a few holes in it



Step two: Put stem on bike and mark where you want the steel piece to be


Step 3: Remove stem from bike and weld the steel piece to it, go to your local hardware store and get a bolt/washer setup.  Install on bike and take it for a test ride.





Tested it out and decided it needed a shield and a rubber washer.  So I made a shield out of lexan and added a rubber washer.  Total cost $3 for the sheet of lexan, all that other crap I had laying around.

Testing it out on my sv650 on a local twisty road, post shield and washer.  I need to figure out how to get rid of the reflection.

sweet

reflections?
easy

diffrent ways:
1)buy a sheet anti refelction foil in your local camerashop
2),,Box,, the whole thing, so no light can reflect
3)if possibel put a kind of rubber ring over the lens ring and put it close as possibel to the window

hope that helps

I actually figured it out, I just moved the shield closer to the lense, I made a video today of my buddy's kz1000.

i made one of these last year, i just got 2 bolts that were the same thread as my gas tank filler thing and made it out of a few pieces of aluminum, bolted it on my tank using rubber and metal washers, i liked it cause it shows my gauges    then i threw it away after making a couple dangerous videos
