Dashcam on a softail?
Heading to the shop for some work this past weekend I was almost taken out by a driver that never saw me before crossing the highway right in front of me.
I kept the bike upright and know my heart is working well LOL but it left me thinking about a dashcam for the bike.
Has anyone installed one and do they have a pic of the camera location(s)?
I've narrowed my choices to the Thinkware M1 and the Innovv K2.
Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I was moving towards the INNOVV K2 and glad to hear a good review.
One question if you don't mind, how do you find the video/sound quality if you download off the SD card?

Looking at the specs of both units mentioned, they are very similar, but in my opinion (for what it's worth), the Innovv K2 is the better unit. It accepts up to a 256GB Memory Card, which allows for more recording time before it starts to overwrite the oldest videos. It is also a little bit less expensive. Looking at their website, they also offer a helmet camera setup with the same camera. Pretty impressive! I'm thinking about getting it myself. I have been using (when I decide to fiddle with it), a 360 degree camera and a GoPro. With those, I can never record long enough to cover my rides from start to finish, and they are difficult to start and end recording. I like that the Innovv K2 starts recording 10 seconds after the bike starts, and stops automatically. I would like to know more about what it does when the bike is off. I saw something that alluded to taking pictures when it's off, but the website didn't go into detail.
