Found a new use for the area where the reflector is at on the rear fender. (of course this wont work if you dont have the stock piece)
I bought a GoPro this weekend, and since i didnt wanna randomly stick one of the mounts on the bike, i purchased the GoPro Handlebar/seatpost/pole mount just so i had a temporary way to mount the camera till i purchased a better quality mount.
Well of course, on the crash bar the camera gets a bit of vibration and the mount wasnt big enough to fit the bar properly, so i re-purposed the half of the mount the camera attaches to.
So I removed the reflector and the foam tape, then I covered the fender, and used a piece of metal to stop the drill bit if it grabbed going thru the bracket, I drilled two holes to mount the camera half of the mount to the bracket.
It was a bit late to get some footage tonight, so i will get a video tomorrow and see how badly it vibrates (that jello effect).
I didnt realize this till i mounted it, but in conjunction with the Iron Aces Rushmore mount, this could make a great rearview camera for making sure the cage behind you is going to stop.
Edit: I have some small squares of commercial roofing rubber, that if it vibrates to much i may try some of that between the bracket and mount.
04/13/16 EDIT:
Ok guys, sorry its a short clip, i thought i was recording when i wasnt, just gotta get used to the camera and the app.
I wanted put up just the raw video for you guys, but i also wanted to make a vid for my channel, as well as show youtubers how and where its mounted on the bike with a picture thrown in.
BTW the video is not touched up at all, i just added to the clip.
