anyone install one. on ebay you could piece one together for under 50 bucks. weather proofing is my main issue. oh and how to mount it.

There is the same discussion going on in the Lightning Forum

I would say the problem would be the monitor.

Mounting would be easy enough. Just pick up a modular GPS mount from any number of the online retailers. The difficulty would be in weather-proofing the unit such that it still provided enough visibility so as to be useful in low-light situations.

Also, with the potential mounting locations, my guess is that you'd have a lot of interference with the camera from the brake light.

another thing that i believe would be a problem would be the vibration out on the highway at high speeds the vibration reduces but in town these bikes shake to much for a lense. abuddy had a camera that he paid high dollar for and put it on a duc and he said unless he was hauling ass all he saw was a bunch of blurr spots cause of the vibes from his duc.
