INNOVV K6 Dashcam Installed on a Yamaha FZ6 S2. I like how compact and neat the cameras look and the quality of footage you get from them. This provides some piece of mind that if you did have an accident that was not your fault, you have evidence. It’s also great for rewatching back footage to bore others with your “professional” riding skills. The camera cables are more than long enough to position where ever you want them and you get a couple of mounting bracket options. I mounted the front just under the main headlight and the rear above the number plate light, below but in between the exhaust pipe ends.
What I disliked or found not so smooth: The cables for the power box are not so long. This means that wherever your battery is located, you best have some space around it for the small power box. My battery is at the front under the tank with very little space so the box is stuck to the top of the battery cover. My initial idea was to have it under the seat but, as I say, the power cables won’t reach (the camera cables accommodate wherever the box goes so not all bad). However, you do not need access to this box once installed so no biggie. I wired the ACC wire to the front light (check with a multimeter which one to connect to. Make sure you’re connecting to a cable that only becomes live once ignition is turned on). For this bit, it would have been beneficial for a wire tap to be provided. Make sure your cables do not end up in the ‘pinch’ zone when you turn the steering full lock - I almost fell foul of this. Excess cables need to be tucked away which is obvious but there is a lot of excess cable! The rear camera on my bike was the fiddliest - due to my bike having the exhaust under the seat and tail, I had to buy a high temp cable protection sleeve from Amazon as the cable passes directly under the exhaust back box. I then had to remove the licence plate light and drill a small hole for the mounting bracket screw along with having to slightly file down the plastic at the cable entry point between the exhausts to pass the plug through. No biggie but I would have the bike that’s the least straight forward. Never mind. I also had to spend a further £60 on an SD card for dash cams. I bought a Samsung Pro Endurance 256GB for extra storage space.
Happy with the end result though!
Renthal Original Series Grips Full Diamond Road Race Firm - Dark Grey These are nice and comfy, liked the dark grey better than black but there's other colours too, inially thought these were too small going by size, but with the glue acting as lube too they went on no bother and stayed there
Renthal Grip Glue I had my doubts about the glue as seen other methods to get grips on and keep them there but wasn't into some of them so went basic, applied on inside of grips inner end only! Pushed the grips on until positioned correctly, then left for 24hrs till I used bike again. They don't move, don't twist or turn so a good glue time will tell if the glue degrades and they start slipping
Oxford Battery Charger Leads (SAE) Very well made and decent prices
Chigee Quick Release Module - BMW Well engineered, fits perfectly on my bmws1000xr te .
Oxford Cool Seat - Adventure / Touring This cool seat is great on my F900 XR. It definitely kept me cooler in the really hot weather we’ve had, and now it’s rained it stops me sitting directly on wet seat. I’ve also found I’m more comfortable on all-day rides, which is a bonus.
Riderr Side Stand Pad - Black Quick delivery, a bit pricey but solid, pleased.
