I think I nailed it this time. When I got home two things were in my mailbox. My economic stimulus check and a package from Chewy.

I quickly installed the Mirror Spacers, Tank Lifters, Can Angle Mod, and De-Snorkeled the bike. I ordered the wrong Frame Sliders but hey, I'm pleased. He got that to me in around 10 days across the big puddle ./thumbs up man.

The tank lifters fixed the height issue immensely. I didn't have to change a thing there. I tried to wipe down my windscreen but I think I'll let a woman do it. Men are incapable of doing a streak free finish on anything. With the addition of a small lightweight piece of wood the bounce issue was resolved immediately. I didn't center the camera, but I promise it will be spot on for my run up 181 Friday morning. I got chills while watching it, which really leads me to believe I might have made a 15$ camera mount that is better than some of those 50$ things you have to screw into your tank.

Enjoy and Comment, I love feedback.

I'm using a budget Lumix Camera I got for Christmas way back in the day.
