16,000 Lumens Spot Lights to complement 2017 Led headlights

[17-CB-002]

Alain, I did not connect the manual switch and haven't decided if I'm going to connect the GPS so don't have to deal with those cables.

I also did not mount mine on the handlebars. I used the "put it in the tool box" option as I don't intend to watch the vids while riding. I can access them on the iPhone if I want to look at them.

Mounting the cameras--My bike has a Honda rack with a Givi box on the back and a Road Comet fairing on the front. For the rear camera I mounted the camera on the left side of the brake light-the chrome part, on the bevel line. After taking the light out for inspection, I put it back and drilled 1/16" holes and screwed the mount on. Yes, the screws are just long enough to go into the black part of the lens so I'll have to remove them to change a bulb.

In front, the fairing limits mounting options, in my case, so I ditched the camera "T-Mount" and use the handlebar mount for the display/recorder. I had to modify it slightly as the screw it uses does not work with the camera. So I drilled the non-threaded hole and the middle hole to fit the camera screw. I left the threaded hole alone so it can be used later if the needed. Then, I removed the 2 allen screws and reversed the mount on the handlebar mount. This was to keep the screw head on the outside of the bike so it would look better. I had to do that as I mounted the thing upside down. Then I mounted the handlebar mount on the right side of the bike on the base of the rubber part of the turn signal light. Then installed the camera on it.

Excess cable: I didn't have much excess camera cable after running them to the tool box and did not need to use the 2 meter cable. The power cable they supply is looong. For those not knowing, there is a little "power box" on the cable. One side has the power connections and the other has multipin plug for the display unit. Anyway, I cut the 3 wire side to length and the other I coiled up and it is pushed on top of the fuse panel under the frame cross brace. All the other excess is in the tool box with my small tool bag.

Connection power was easy in my case. Always on power (red wire) is connected to the + battery terminal. Ground and switched +12v I pulled from the accessory connector which is right under the tool box, under the fuse panel. As I have a connector kit, I pinned the 2 wires and plugged in the connector and tested it out. Tested good!!

I know you know this Alain. They also supply a power connecter with a USB port so you can power the unit on with a phone charger. That made it easy to play with the device and setting the options before mounting anything.

I did order the DashCam without the viewer screen (model B1M), however, it was backorder, plus the supplier upgraded to DV988 for the same price, a deal I cannot refuse. So being jealous of Peter Baron, I can have the "Rear View Mirror" option similar to his helmet
Great mind thinks alike! - I had the same intent to install the BlueSkySea B1N inside the toolbox and use the Iphone to view the video.

I strongly recommend to connect the manual switch since this will give you the option of taking pictures at will. My switch is mounted on my left side handlebar.
