Awesome work. Watched all 7 mins plus of that. The brick wall pops up a few times so I expect you were in a smallish area going round and round.

A few questions if you please,

Are you using standard footpegs?

What camera mounting system are you using? Is it clamped to the engine protector bars?

Where are you mounting the cam for the shots where you are standing up?

What Tyres are on the bike?

I just ordered one of these, I intend to get the same shots by clamping it to my smooth Aly luggage (hepco and becker) but would be interested to know your solution. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...EOIBSA:GB:1123


I have already followed your suggestions re the screen. Even though some don't think it a good idea. I have the Givi tall screen on order. Taped an old visor and some card (as per another suggestion from the forum) on to replicate the shape and it made a lot of improvement n the motorway.

Thanks for sharing

Al.

thanks for that
it was a bit of waste ground local and then a afew trails nearby

you spot on its a suction pad on the box except mine is a phone arm from halfords with the phone holder taken off ..i like it as is got a real good flexi arm set up

iove cocked up a camerea system using ram mounts and velco and much to my amazment it works real good ..im pleased cos i had them lying around
the front shots are just gaffa tape to the inside of the bars

tyres im using a k60 rear and a tk front

the foot pegs are on here in the mods section 11 quid off ebay ..there really very good

i hope the screen works well .. the wing really does make a difference though

the bottom pic is the best i can find of the pegs
regards stev e

Really nice vid. Lot of work you've put in it. I too like the high-rear camera point of view where you can watch you working the bike.

Ah, Many thanks for confirming your mounting solution. so you must have a recording device stashed under the seat? I am going to try a regular digital camera first but I expect wind noise will be shocking.

Fitted my screen and the cam mount has arrived, will get vid at weekend with it and post.

Not been for a ride with the screen yet. Where did you get that wing thing and what did it cost you if I may ask?

Cheers

Al.

it looks good that sucky mount ..id just tie the mount to the top of the box ..in case it goes awol ... but mine held up no problem all afternoon

the wing is a mra off a cb1300 ..i just watch for 2nd hand screens on e bay

i found this not long ago which seems a good alternative good luck with your filming
