Admiralxavier Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Anyone knows of a rearview camera system for a bike? It would be very useful to have a wide eye camera in the back connected to a small LCD in the front to see what's behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member snowdriftless Posted June 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Here's what I'd do: Get a cellphone mount for your motorcycle. Get a WIFI enabled camera [Here is a good one for under $100] Mount the camera and cellphone to your bike and link them. The camera can show you what you are shooting in real time with under a second of lag. P1: Vice? I have no vice, I'm as pure as the driven snow! P2: Yeah but you've been drifting All the gear all the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I use a pair of highly reflective glass plates attached to the handle bars to see what is behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I mounted a car rear view camera on my Husky for the big Phillip Island trip. Treid it out and it was useless. The lens angle is so wide you can't distinguish any cars if they are furthur than 50' away. Couldn't even see Sally's bike WITH the headlight on once it was furthur than 50' back. Unless you can get a camera with a narrower lens it's a waste of money and time. Pity it would be a way better idea than the useless vibrating mirrors. IF you find one that can work PLEASE post, cause for touring they would be really helpful. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...

Premium Member motomeek Posted June 3, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've seen rear view mirrors you could add to the top of wind shields, buuuut this is a naked bike and unless you purchase that too, you won't be able to use it. And that's if you can get the proper space/angle for it. As much as you could add a camera and hook it up to your cell phone, your cell phone will get drained/over heat so fast doing something like that. Or you could just use what @mark uses.

I don't have a problem with 'em, but I guess to some of you fellows they're useless. Everything went braap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregjet Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 The MT07 mirrors are pretty OK for motorcycle mirrors I found as the vibration is pretty minimal. EVEN without barweights. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
