OMG just ride the fuckin thing....i bet you haven't even worn through the OEM tires yet!

I actually don't have a clue about camera mounts and just wanted to be the first dickhead in this thread It's hard to be the first person in a tread to insult someone around here. Especially with that Oreo prick always spouting off.

The extra weight causes the clutch to slip so you will need stiffer clutch springs too.

I know a few guys that have been happy with something like this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tank-... pagenameZWDVW

Its not something for me as Im pretty much laid over the tank when Im riding due to my enormous 5'6 frame.

I heard cameras add at least an extra 25 horsepower! Throw on a couple stickers and you you could probably pull out an extra 30 HP!! http://www.bikecameras.com/

HAAAAAAAA


25 hp. more like 40hp!!!
anyway, Im gonna grab one that bolts to the gas cap. I dont trust that suction cup garbage. I saw footage of a guy who used a suction cup mounted assembly at a track and the camera fell off and ate the pavement. Thanks for the ball busters. I needed a laugh.

don't forget the suspension issue, with a camera on the tank you should talk to pete about new fork springs, thicker oil, and new bushings

don't forget either with that weight you would have 25% extra front tire wear

I use a stem mount for my radar dectector or camera. Its not in the way like the tank mounts are, and can be removed fairly quickly:

here is where you can find the stem mount click here. this holds up my camera fine...and sure that it can handle a bigger camera (I screw the camera underneath). I use two types of velcro to hold the radar and it works perfectly fine.
