Default alright, check this junk out!






so my toy is in, but none of the motorcycle mounts are really sportbike friendly, any combination of one or more of them had some issue why it wouldnt work ( and i thought of quite a few ideas ) so i did what most people would do, i cried. after crying, i made myself a mount. its a piece of trash until i can make something better, but its made out of a copper plumbing pipe that i split and flattened into a sheet, haha copper, geez!. its all ground down so it didnt scratch or touch plastics, or damage anything though. but itll do until i can make one out of steel, or buy something nice and purty.

Don't know if a camera mount will work, but you can check these out.

alright thanks! i'll definetely look into them. i know i could get the gps mounted on them, right now the only issue is position. the way that its mounted in the pics, when im riding i have to look almost straight down to see the screen, i have to have it back about 4 inches towards the windscreen from where it is to be able to see it easily. but thanks again^_^

nah, its a gps navigation system^_^ but the mount is what im paying the most attention to so i can get it in just the right position to where i can glance at it moving only my eyes, like the instrument cluster, where it was with the one i made, i basically had to turn my head straight down, so no good :-p

i love to explore the backroads, and take long trips to out of the way places and just enjoy the scenery, and i especially love being away from other people in their 3k lbs battering rams. and when i get my *** lost, now i'll be able to get back home with the push of a button.
