Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Bill Gaheer - 29-12-2009 RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - 1300hayabusa - 30-12-2009 RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Bill Gaheer - 30-12-2009 (30-12-2009, 05:47am)1300hayabusa Wrote: One good suggestion is not to do it Bill,especially if its the one in the pic you posted.Have you taken in consideration that cause its a mirror it will reflect back into your eyes while riding.There are also 5'1/2 inch tft monitors you can buy that will fit under your screen and you can either use velcro to hold it into place or modify a Gps bracket the size of your screen. Rubber mounts on your camera are imperative so when you look at the screen it wont look like you are in an earthquake.Make sure that you install a fuse and a switch for it cause the ones I sold where installed without and when they started or reved up their bikes everthing went cactus. Thanks for the input, I will install the camera with a rubbermount and also will insure that there is fuse for both Camera and Screen, I can switch the screen to a different one if this is not clear. If I can get this thing to work upto 110 / 120 KMPH then I am ok, if I am above it then there is no looking back... In case this fails (which I think chances are 50% that it will) then there is always a place for this in my car...:) Cheers, Bill RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Greeny_SA - 30-12-2009 (30-12-2009, 10:47am)bgaheer Wrote:(30-12-2009, 05:47am)1300hayabusa Wrote: One good suggestion is not to do it Bill,especially if its the one in the pic you posted.Have you taken in consideration that cause its a mirror it will reflect back into your eyes while riding.There are also 5'1/2 inch tft monitors you can buy that will fit under your screen and you can either use velcro to hold it into place or modify a Gps bracket the size of your screen.

Check out those new helmets ,with a built in rear vision mirror, all done with mirror's, No camera or power involved. Apparently their not Aust approved yet, but will be soon & cost around $500.I've seen a clip on you tube ,I think.Try here http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/reevu/ RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Greeny_SA - 02-01-2010 (30-12-2009, 04:53pm)Greeny_SA Wrote:(30-12-2009, 10:47am)bgaheer Wrote:(30-12-2009, 05:47am)1300hayabusa Wrote: One good suggestion is not to do it Bill,especially if its the one in the pic you posted.Have you taken in consideration that cause its a mirror it will reflect back into your eyes while riding.There are also 5'1/2 inch tft monitors you can buy that will fit under your screen and you can either use velcro to hold it into place or modify a Gps bracket the size of your screen.

Just found this vid re REEVU helmet's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaMSXgB3PVA RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Bill Gaheer - 05-01-2010 Hi Guys, Got the Camera and the monitor- fark the monitor is massive - actual 10.2 inches and total 11.5 inches Now I need to design a mount for the same (for trial purpose). Cheers, Bill PS: I need some help with building the mount and wiring for this - I suck at wiring....... RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - bazman - 06-01-2010 that IS huge, Bill.... good luck with it.....I'm curious to see how it all turns out, keep us posted pls? baz. RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - fasterfaster - 06-01-2010 Think your main probs are going to be as far as practicality goes Bill.......... lack of clarity, depth as in distance pbjects are from you and vibration to cam coming of rear plastic guard. Would velcro mount it all to start and give it a test run.

Yup thats the plan, if it fails then its going in the car else it stays... RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Bill Gaheer - 06-01-2010 First test complete. Tested the wiring and all went well. Will be fitting the camera some time tomm. RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Hellboy - 07-01-2010 Dude you should of bought a system designed for bikes Ant Systems are the ones to go for pin hole camera clear as day, night vision also oh well. RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Bill Gaheer - 07-01-2010 Excellent Ant System do have a GPS and Rear view combo. Now once my trial finishes and I fail I know where to get the working example from. Thanks in heap for this information cheers Bill RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Hellboy - 07-01-2010 Glad to help. RE: Adding a rear view Camera to Gen 2 - Throwdown! - 09-01-2010 I've got one of those Reevu helmets - excellent once you get used to it - slight left/right turn of the head gives you the coverage of the corresponding side mirror to the extent that you won't need them most of the time. Also has the best venting I've come across in any helmet - it's the most impressive feature. I tried hard to mist up the visor while riding by breathing heavily onto it, and found it impossible to mist it up for more than 2-3 seconds at a time (might be longer in winter). The rest of the helmet is more top end HJC class rather than Arai or Shoei, but still a good lid. Anyone looking to buy one, make sure you get the right size (tightest fit) or you'll regularly loose sight of the mirror... your visor will stay clear though.
