I found a problem with the riderscan mirrror. I untaped the gap at the bottom of my Ermax as its summer, to get more cool air on me and there is a lot of wind noise from the riderscan mirror. The air going up inside the ermax hits the mirror and get very turbulent and causes a lot of helmet noise. So I have retaped the gap shut again!
So has anyone taken any scooter cams lately? Or any pics of cams mounted on your scooter or helmet?

Re: Video cameras for riding
Urbanian, Did you find them? 1 1/2 inch - 2" in size?
Self stick right? Have you searched amazon? How about bicycle websites? Wait a minute! I bought 2 in a pack of 2" rounds at Walmart (auto/trailer supply dept) a year ago. Not put on yet, forgot about them

I also thought I might mount them on my windshield, but there is nowhere straight vertical to attach them. Got a set that is adjustable, but they don't adjust enough to give a good rear view.

My view of the chest mount Gopro. Less obvious, less wind drag and effective coverage with the wide angle lens.

Re: Video cameras for riding
I use the little mirrors on my scooter mirrors to see blind pots. I will have to point out though that these mirrors are very small so that they will fit on motorcycle mirrors. I bought mine at a motorcycle store in their parts department.

Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires

Re: Video cameras for riding
Auto Zone ... 3-4 dollars, they do helpUrbanian wrote:I have looked at auto supply stores for convex mirrors aka "eyeball" mirrors. Can't find any small enough to go on side mirrors on the PCX. They are perfect size for autos... The PCX mirrors are smaller and closer than car mirrors and the wide view mirror needs to be smaller too.
Anybody got a favorite motorcycle supply house that has really small convex mirrors?
