Well after adjusting the chain & aligning the rear wheel (thanks to Re- Run's assist), it was time to move on to today's delivery.
I always run with a dash cam in my car. Partly because I have seen some real buthead moves & figure they may make for some cool You tube uploads, but mainly it's to keep a rolling document in case of accident or traffic stop. That being said, I wanted to set something up on the bike (in case I get scraped of the blacktop). Because of the exposure to the elements, the camera requirement are different.
I went with an older Oregon Scientific ATC2. It's water proof & relatively small.
Finding a spot for it was challenging. First call was the handle bars. Convenient to turn on & off but unfortunately my windshield was in it's field of view. Next I tried the crash bar. It was harder to turn on but it did give a nice low field of vision. I decided against it there because of the proximity to the engine & the heat generated there. I finally decided to mount it on the headlight off the side reflector mounts. Easy choice since I have no reflectors installed.
Here is the final installation.
