• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Suggestions for mounting a camera - 2020 RT

Anyone have any suggestions for a camera mounting location on the front of my 2020 RT - somewhere that I don't have to drill holes or alter the factory equipment?

I can build a bracket, no problem, but don't see a good place to even put that.

Would prefer to not place it behind the windscreen.

Looking at a Garmin Virb or similar. (The Virb can be controlled by my Nav.)

I already have a helmet cam but the battery runs down after about 2 hours which means I have to keep a usb battery pack in my pocket and run a charging cable to my helmet.
 
I mounted my VIRB in front of and below screen. Ran the wire under the pull-out grille to right side switched power block.
I used industrial 3M 2-sided (gray) to mount and it's holding up well after 4k mi.
 
I have one in the back also right underneath the top case. Sorry I don't have better pictures.

Using a ram ball mount similar to yours, I am thinking about attaching it to one of the upper fairing deflectors (left or right side) and drilling a hole directly into the upper tupperware for the power.

That deflector looks like it can be replaced easily (and inexpensively) so I might be able to drill some holes then buy a replacement piece should I decide to change it at some point.
