I have a camera and monitor onmy bike, but not in the mirror, I have it by the speedometer. I went with the vr3 or vs3 I don't remember the exact name but I got the set up from pep boys and it is designed for a car but does what I need it to do.
check my gallery.

I few people in town actually went to Wal Mart, purchased a small rear view camera system that has a 2.5in monitor and a camera that mounts to a car license plate bracket. They cut the bracket down,mounted it below the tail light, and it works awesome. This might be another alternative for you. Its a pretty sweet set up for less than $100.

Also is it hard to see when its sunny, can you see the screen and does the sun affect the camera when its behind you?
sorry for the 20 questions

I did end up with a dead stator, replaced it with a heavy duty one, but I ran it this way always on when the the key is turned on for like 8 months but I used the 12v power supplied to the rear liscense plate light that is no longer there since I cut it off.
So there is no more of an additional drain than before.
yes the sun does affect the view, just like pointing a camera into the sun.
yes you can see to the left and right of the camera but not past were the camera is mounted.
you can do what I did and mount the lil circle mirrors on the inside of the ram-air covers to the right and left of the guage cluster and that will help eliminate the blind spots but I always look over my shoulders anyways.
now the wal-mart camera set up is the one I have but they make 2 versions
1 is wireless
2 is the wired system and this the system is the one I have.
the reason I went with the wired system is because it isn't subject to iterference from wireless devices such as alarms, cellphones, and such.
if you still have the full liscense plate holder you can drill a hole in it just big enough for the camera lens to stick out of and it will look cleaner and more stealthy look!
if not then you just have to cut down the car style liscens plate holder!
