Sorry Dave, I re-opened the flood gates
I hope so.. I just ordered a pair of LR4's/Dimmer for the brackets... It's actually above zero here in Ohio.. Snow is melting and salt on the roads are starting to wash away.... Sounds like riding weather to me..Hopefully Dave's out playing in the shop this weekend
If the Forum chips in and buys Ann a day at the spa Dave may get the time to finish the spacersHopefully Dave's out playing in the shop this weekend
One question I have is using the brackets with the stock mirrors. I think Fred and I discussed it a bit but didn't come to a conclusion. I believe the stock mirrors will need a thicker spacer (How thick?). I also think the special nuts can be eliminated for the stock mirrors also.
The above is correct for 3rd Gen bikes.I think in a past post Dave Fred said fz1 mirror's need 10mm thick spacer & stock mirror's would need 18mm thick spacers..
https://www.barkbusters.net/products/bbzDo you have a link to the risers. A little more rise would be welcome, especially if I get to use the handguards again. Amazing how you take something for granted then do with out. I had forgotten just how good they are from shielding your hands from rain and cold.Yeah, I do actually have risers on there already. You are right... without some sort of risers the Strom guards are a no-go.
They are the Genmar type (clones). Simple spacers that come with longer bolts for the bars that I found on Amazon. They get the bars up just enough to have the hand guards clear the front cowling, with the added effect of blocking the inner third of the stock mirrors.
I was going to go for the Heli-bridge until I realized I'd have to ditch my stem mounted TechMount. I don't want the GPS on my bars.
Come to think of it, I'll have to buy new handguards. I sold the ones off my 04 already :/
Thanks Adam and Efly, just picked up this and a couple other essentials on Amazon today. Now for some drilling on my Clearwater light brackets.RAM gopro mount - amazon B00G970GX4

Any issues removing the plastic trim piece needed to get at the mirror bolts? I received a set of Dave's brackets a couple weeks ago and plan to mount them this week. I dread the thought of snapping some plastic clips off.The ball which is attached to the WinPro plate is a standard 1" ball with an M10 x 1.25 threaded rod. I re-drilled the hole in the WinPro plate and tapped it for the Ball mount. The mount on the camera case itself is also a RAM mount. It's a standard GoPro RAM mount at one end and a 1" ball at the other.
Haven't used it yet, but I think it's going to be good. The camera was previously mounted on my Honda ST front fairing. The front fairing on the FJR seems to move more that the ST fairing. This is why I opted for a hard point mount. I suppose there could be some vibration at various RPMs. I'll be testing it soon and will report back.
