I noticed in your video it didn't register your speed. Is that a function you can turn on and off? Might be helpful to fight a speeding ticket, in case you were ever BELOW the posted limit, lol.

I have the choice to turn it on thru the app on my phone or not. The video was in 2018 and I caught that the mph was not showing so I make sure to turn it on thru my phone since then. Traffic always seems to be passing me lol

I added a Legends suspension (forks and shocks) to my 2023 Road King Special. After only 3000 highway miles, the ride quality of the stock suspension, had degraded to the point where I didn't like it. I did adjust the stock rear shock rebound to the specs in the owners manual, but this had no effect. Of course the dealer said the ride quality was normal. My Indy installer said he has seen quite a few low mileage touring bikes with the same complaint come in for suspension upgrades over the past year. Well, first there were mediocre seats, then plastic intakes, and now we have garbage suspensions. What's next?

Figured that had to be the case, since it was displayed. Nice setup. Where do you mount the cameras?

Front is mounted on the front bar and the rear is mmounted on part of the license bracket. And I know I have to wash all the bugs off.

That seems to give a good view.
I’ll definitely get creative with my install.

Needing to wash off bugs is better than needing to wash off dust.

Before you tighten up the cameras all the way, run the system to verify that the pictures are not upside down or 90 degrees out of vertical.

Today, I ruined my brand new (less than 450 miles) Metzler Cruisetech. I hate this day.
