Hello fellow fz6r owners.
I saw a mod on an r6 at a local meet i wen't to, and decided i needed to do it myself. It was an always on rear view camera system. Which, looked hella cool. I'm not to good at doing write ups, but I have lots of pics to share! Any questions, feel free to ask.
I started with painting my windshield black, I did it with plastidip, it took quite a bit of coats, but I've plastidiped most of my truck, so Im at least familiar with it. It ended up coming out REAL nice. Pics below.
While I had the windscreen off, I started looking for places to put the screen for the rear view camera. It's semi big, and we don't have much room above our guages, and below or windscreen. So, as you will see in some of the pics, I tried to see what it would look like with it above the guages, although nice, once i got the windscreen back on, it didn't fit. so , I ended up mounting it below the guages, which really, looks fine as well.
The 12 volt adapter i just attached to my handlebars, and hid the wires. I could have done a straight mount job into the little fron / side fairing, but I didn't, that thing is hella useful, expecially if you have an iphone and need the usb charger.
I wired in a switch, it's currently dandling ( as you can see ), but tomorrrow some time in the morning, i'll be putting that flush with the side / top fairing, next to the guages. I've got a radar detector system i've been rewiring to some LEDS that im working on putting flush with the fairing too, it'll flash blue, regardless of what warning it's being given, and it's bright enough to catch your attention. It's going to be installed tomorrow as well.
Anyhoo, pic time!!
