Title: Gas Filler Camera Mount Question
Post by: TragicImage on August 13, 2006, 11:21:54 AM
I've been researching and what not for a few days now, and I can't find any data anywhere... so I figured I'd ask here.

Does anyone know if GSXR filler caps, and GS filler caps have the same diamete and bolt pattern?


I only ask because there is a camera mount that I would like to try, but it is for GSXR's...

Any advice would be handy-dandy.
Thanks.

yeah i beleive they are the same size with the same amount of holes, i think the only difference between the two is that the gsxr doesnt have a breather or something like that

If I lowside, the last thing I"m worried about is a few hundred dollars worth of video camera.

I just got one of these little camera mounts for my SV650. 

I just strapped my old kodak EasyShare camera to it with a 2G sd card and went on my morning commute.  I've got to say its not half bad.

I had to decrease the resolution/size to make the freeware conversion software work, but its pretty good for a $30 hunk of metal.

Please, no making fun of the lean angles... this was the 8am commute to work, not a weekend run down the dragon.  :laugh:
