Rear view camera and monitor mounted on Spyder

[Gunner 02]

I'm looking at small cameras and monitors to mount on my RS, has anyone else done this, if so what did you go with and do you have any pictures or advise?

I did add a backup camera to my RSS, See MODS: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?75970-Nothing-spectacular-just-making-it-mine Post#10

I'm at Spyderfest and on a ride Monday, hit a bump hard enough that the rear wheel bounced up and wiped out the camera. So don't put it where I did.

still looking for the combination can find the waterproof camera without any problems but the inexpensive waterproof monitor.
I'll take pictures and post once I get everything and get it mounted.

Maybe a mobility issue??

I say yes to the idea and kill the rear view side mirrors. Or keep the side mirror and use the monitor as a 3rd view. Surprised there is not a Bluetooth camera that streams to phone. Put phone in a life proof holder. Good to go.


Sempert out,

Until, it was ripped off when I hit a pot hole mine was on all of the time and worked ok. This one doesn't have "nite leds" but it still should be good. Just place it better than I did.

With respect to my question of why anyone would put a back up camera on a SPYDER, I DID NOT EVEN COMPREHEND THAT THOUGHT, AND RESPECTEFULLY ask forgiveness If I have offended anyone. Thank you. SORRY.:bowdown:

I have to agree

If you can't turn your head far enough to check your blind spots, you probably should not be riding. JMHO.

Checking blind spots and being able to turn totally around to see behind you and reach the throttle is two different things. The camera if ran all of the time, is a third rear view mirror, you can't lose.

Going in a little different direction. I ordered a dual camera front and back with split screen. I'll get pictures when I put it together. The cameras recording capabilities too. Will be attaching to left handle bar.

Outside of a state law mandating mirors...throw on a small bar end miror in case it the camera fails. NOT sure the video screens are weather proof. Pelican and a few other enviromental sealed clear plastic cases to house the screen.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not planning on taking the mirrors off just augmenting with the camera. I'm going to try and weather proof it myself but a case to protect it is a great option if that doesn't work.

A couple of years ago CincySpyder installed a rear view camera so he could watch his dog passenger and behind his camp trailer. I can find a pic of the setup but not the exact post. If you want to search his post you might find some helpful info.

Looks nice. I'll get a picture of the camera I purchased today.
thank you for sharing. What camera and monitor are you using and do you like them?

Which system did you purchase Gunner 02? I am looking at the K1S from Spy Tec, little pricey but I like the reviews.
