I’ve got a few ideas in my head for mounting my video camera behind the windscreen of my motorcycle. Having searched the internet far and wide for various solutions there are at least two that seem acceptable as ready made solutions. One being a RAM mount that I’d have to adapt to the SV for mounting – most likely bolting the base to the front bolts of the gas tank. Another being a $90 chunk of machined aluminum that bolts to the gas tank filler ring.

Those that know me of course understand that I have a problem buying things I could just build myself, and brackets are far from complicated. When I get home I’ll find the best spot to mount a Canon ZR85 mini-DV video camera with a wide angle lense on a 2005 SV650S in order to capture the gauge cluster, road, and horizon – while still allowing the rider to tuck in and minimizing the wind blast on the camera’s microphone.

Something tells me this can be done for under $20.
