Rearview video cam...
My JVC KD-AVX77 came with a Tview T200NV camera, it's waterproof with autonightvision etc. I am thinking about putting it on the bike to supplement the mirrors. I could wire up a switch to activate the display input on the JVC and thus have rear video.. The question is where to put the cam... I am putting a chopped tourpak on my bike, but I don't want to cut a hole in my brand new tourpak. What do you guys think? Where can we hid a lil' camera eh?

I doubt the little IR emmitters would make it very useful for forward facing... If visibility is that bad I ain't riding 
My main interest is reducing blind spots.. Those fairing mounted mirrors only let you see so much.
I am thinking about making a mount to attach it to my tourpak mount. I need to hook it up and see how the placement looks through the display.

I agree, I think mounting it under the tourpak so that it's discreet and out of site would be the best location. I'd definitely like to see some pictures if you get it mounted and decide to use it.

Rearview camera on a BIKE?
Seriously?
Ok dude - its your scoot and your life, but it would seem to me that looking down at the video display to see what is behind you is far more distracting than simply readjusting your mirrors. You could also mount real mirrors instead of the fairing mounted ones - which would be less expensive, far more effective, and God knows a LOT safer.
