Added a Vantrue F1 dashcam to my '22 today.

We've all had those close calls where you wish you could have had video. I didn't want a helmet mounted cam and I wanted something that just started when I start the bike and records until I shut it off. This does exactly that. Wifi to my phone if I want, I can pull video from the SD card without removing it.

Installation was super easy, I already had a Fuzeblock installed for earlier accessories. Picture looks good so far, but it's just in my shop at the moment (still a little chilly here in SW Ontario). Once I get it out for a ride I will post a video link.

You can see the install pics in google photos here: Vantrue F1 Install 22 FJR. Still some cable management to be completed, but it's in and working now.

How has the camera been for you? Was it a logistical choice to mount the front camera up high instead of under the headlights? Or just personal preference?

Also regarding the coiled snakes under the passenger seat; does it really come with all that length of cord?

Thanks

If you do move it to under the headlight, don't mount it in the center, it will impact the fender under extreme compression. Mount it offset to one side.

Personal preference, mainly motivated by laziness. I didn't want to clean the bugs off the camera lens. There is a bitbof distortion from the polarized windscreen, but I can still make out license plates. It's been good. Set it and forget it, hope you never need it.
