In my spare time from riding my GTR, I work for Ebuyer but this isn't a sales pitch; honest :innocent:
I am frustrated about the pain in checking the coolant levels on my GTR and the general pain of having sausage fingers trying to inspect and fiddle with things on my bike. I was in a meeting the other day and we were discussing upcoming offers and we have a cheap inspection camera which has a light, camera and mirror on the end to look into inaccessible spaces and even a magnet so you can retrieve that pesky screw. I had never thought about how useful it would be so thought I'd share it with you all who might have not thought about using one.
We have this item on a daily deal tomorrow with £10 off so thought I'd let everyone know. I'm not endorsing the product or the price, just the idea which didn't occur to me before I had a play with one. I run the B2B sales team so am not getting an advantage; just trying to share the idea and letting you know there's an offer on the way.

Please update the forum if you buy one, either from us or elsewhere, as I might be able to persuade the marketeers to give us a permanent discount once the offer has gone if the idea proves popular.
Not a sales pitch..... :mfr_lol: It's a tad expensive is that for us folk up North, £59, hang on while I work out how many pie & mash that equates to, or pints of real ale!
I'm not sure what benefit the camera would have on such a device but the light and mirror can be handy. I have something similar with a grabber on the end, I've had it quite a while now and I have to add that it was about an 1/5th of the price of that gadget you are flogging.
Good luck selling them. :popcorn:
I note your cynicism but my motivation is purely honourable; I thought it was a great idea and have bought one with my own money and thought I'd share it :innocent:
Devices like that are a great idea as there's nothing more frustrating than not being able to see where you've dropped that infernal bolt. I've done it, I'm sure we've all done it at some point or another. It's just the price of the device which I find disturbing because I'm a tight arse.
Did anyone buy one of these? I'm tempted
I think that is a good piece of kit and TBH not that overpriced, but its not something I would need the use of too frequently
Must admit I'm tempted though :yes:
I bought one and when I was finding the best place to feed it to read the coolant level, I found a spot where you can see it with the naked eye. Annoyingly it needed topping up so would have had to take the fairing off anyway :-(
I haven't used it for anything bike related yet but I did look into the next door neighbours bird box and it was great.
I would say that unless you have a specific need it might be a bit of an expensive toy; but we all like expensive toys :-)
