Rear view camera and monitor mounted on Spyder

[Gunner 02]

I tried to to go with a dash cam with two cameras but did not work, couldn't see the small split screen in sun light. I ordered a lot fancy 3.5 in monitor and a weatherproof camera which will be delivered this weekend. Will take pictures of the final solution, maybe video of the install and post.

Which system did you purchase Gunner 02? I am looking at the K1S from Spy Tec, little pricey but I like the reviews.

rear view camera

I just got my spyder and I'm used to the view I could get on 2 wheels. I could see my wife in the pass seat and see something right behind me and I can't on my spyder---so I wouls like a rear view camera.---I love the spyder. Thanks, Mike

If you can't turn your head far enough to check your blind spots, you probably should not be riding. JMHO.

Wow, aren't you righteous this morning? That probably applies to most of the four wheel drivers on the roads today. If you can sit in the drivers seat of your Spyder and comfortalbly look directly behind you, you're a lot more flexable than most of us. How about a little consideration for us older folks.

Bit late, but found this.

If you have your phone mounted on the bike, then this camera will connect to the phone wirelessly, saves having another screen that has to be taken off / locked away / mounted / wired in etc etc. On eBay UK, but sells internationally. You could power it up only in reverse or have it on all the time as an additional rear view. Camera look small enough to mount discretely on or with licence plate.

Equivalent price is USD45 approx.

For whatever reason they don't ship to the US. Cut and paste the title and it comes up in the US Ebay.

What is wrong bringing up an old thread if you are adding new info. Less threads when doing a search.

back up camera

I have used back up cameras in the past on trikes . there are many different models available on Ebay all at a reasonable price .Mo st of them have they camera mounted in they license plate bracket . The only problem is they are illegal in all states unless they only work when the vehicle is in reverse . They claim it is a safety issue having moving images visable by the driver while the vehicle is in motion . It is no more distracting than the same moving images in a rear view mirror.

Same in the UK. Any moving picture must not be visible by the driver. All car radio displays that can show movies, for example, disable the multimedia screen other than when in ACC position. Jeff

Rear view cameras that work all the time are quite common on RVs.
