MG, mi sono spesso chiesto che cosa la versione finale della tua moto sembra, e ora possiamo tutti vedere ... Complimenti amico mio che sono riusciti a migliorare la struttura e la funzione di una macchina già grande.

Mi piace la presa supplementare maniglie delle borse, quanto vicino sono per le gambe dei passeggeri? e qual è il pulsante rosso sul lato sinistro per il pannello? suonava come un lanciarazzi.

Ero scettico sulla tua estensione schermo, ma si guarda bene e presumo che ora avete avuto la possibilità di testare in modo che si è soddisfatti con le prestazioni

Ben fatto il mio amico.    :clap:

The GoPro mount in the handle bar bolt is a neat trick - how did you achieve that?

[Il supporto GoPro nel bullone manubrio è un trucco - come hai fatto a ottenere questo?] (I think...)

Filettando il bullone del manubrio che rimane perfetto per avere poi un'appanatura di 8 mm.

Threading the bolt of the handlebar which remains perfect for having a screw thread of 8 mm.

The screen is OK, but try it with strong wind.   Lo schermo è OK,però da provare con vento forte.

I find the suction cup is ideal for it. Have done silly speeds and its never let me down.

Hi Winston - how/where have you mounted the suction cup?
I currently have this on the side beneath the mirror - with a lanyard tied to the mirror just in case - but I find the film quality very jerky as it seems to bounce a lot.
Sorry for deviating from the thread.

Post by: MGvalerio on January 13, 2013, 11:54:19 AM

If you do not want to vibrations of the image, the cup should be amended so.

Many thanks MGvalerio - how do you ensure the suction cup (and GoPro) isn't lost if it falls off?

Molti MGvalerio grazie - come si fa a garantire la ventosa (e GoPro) non si perde se si cade?

Post by: O.C. on January 13, 2013, 03:52:46 PM
Pete. I use a neck lanyard tied to the mirror.. The suction cup is very strong and shouldn't come unstuck.

Hi MG - your post on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07WfuKCrgVw&lc=v78tVXhcmOP9vlMUWauMkcpN3e7lXhCOM_DNZqioV-M&feature=em-comment_reply_received&lch=email_reply
seems to show a GoPro mount on the outside end of the bar end - any chance you could let me/us know where this was sourced from?

I think I prefer the mounting to the outside as you show in your clip above to the inside - although I have a RAM mount fitted inside the clutch end just in case. I have also fitted a permanent centre mount under the screen as you have. this works quite well although I have been unable to cure the motion vibration.

As always your video's are very informative and seem to provoke more questions  :smiley:

Supports for the GoPro are original but adapted to my needs for video recording.

Hi MG - I have to admit defeat, you are too clever for me. Even after watching the video I still cannot work out how you have managed to get the mount point into the hexagonal recess for the bolt  :smiley:

I am guessing it is araldite or something similar. Or have you tapped a thread into the recess to take the bar? Either way it is very ingenious. Well done...

I'm sure you could make a lucrative second income with all these adaptions you undertake on your GTR.

Ciao MG - Devo ammettere la sconfitta, sei troppo intelligente per me. Anche dopo aver visto il video non riesco ancora a capire come siete riusciti a ottenere il punto di montaggio nella cavità esagonale del bullone: smiley:

Sto indovinando che è araldite o qualcosa di simile. O hai toccato un filo nella cavità di prendere il bar? In entrambi i casi è molto ingegnoso. Ben fatto ...

Sono sicuro che si potrebbe fare un reddito lucrativo secondo con tutti questi adattamenti si impegnano sul GTR.

- have tried mounting the GoPro all over the place (side of fairing , swingarm , etc).

- the best place is still on top of your helmet

Personally I really do not like cameras on helmets, I did try it once and decided to remove it again.

I now have my GoPro mounted underneath the left hand rear view mirror, the camera can then be set to inverted image, it works great with good capture and acceptable sound levels.

I did have it on ,y helmet for a long time however I just kept getting the 5th Telly Tubby comments and shouts of 'A O'   :wacko:
So I removed it and have been hunting for the 'perfect' place - the fitting to the bar end (posted below) that MG used seems to be the most appealing to me. As MG has been kind enough to show how he did it I feel a modification coming on for my bar ends  :smiley: Thanks again MG (and others for valuable contributions).

- before mounting your GoPro behind the windscreen , please note that the GTR's polycarbonate windscreen is very "wavy" and full of distortion. Ie , not like a car's windscreen.

- not sure how your footage will show up behind a screen like that

Hi Pistole - the mounting I am looking to use is in MG's video clip above - outside end of the clutch grip - so modification to the bar end is required.
