Hey I am after a Monster rear seat cowling in any condition. Want it to play round with one for mounting a rear facing video camera.

If you have one PM the cost + freight...  [thumbsup]

Anybody know where else I might look????

I have black one off an S4, that I don't use.

Let me know if you are still looking.

Big T

Yep Peter F still looking.

Questions:
1. Does it still have the brackets attached?
2. How much?
3. Where are you located?

Does it clamp to the frame????

I was going to get another rear cowl as I have a camera mount that I was going to bolt to the cowl...........

Interested to see how your idea would work though.....  [thumbsup]

we can mount it to the rear cowl make an adaptor compensating plate for the underneath of the cowl for strength.Dont think it would be a big job. [thumbsup]

Might still try and get another cowl first so we can cut and shut till we get it right and not have to worry about stuffing up the cowling........ [popcorn]

The other place I thought we could make a mount for is off the pillion hand rail.
Something like the clamp type system we were thinking about first off.

But keeping it close to the bike as well. 

Dockstrada

This is also a a good idea I am actuly thinking of a rear mount for mine so i can do a quick switch.

I'm also waiting on a tank mount so I should be able to switch front and rear at will also.....

Just a thought, have you considered helmet cams. You could mount it anywhere you like, light weight and I am pretty sure you can get them set up for HDD. Simply run the lead to your backpack. A mate of mine has a mount on his lid for off road, pretty good picture.

Give us some details then Tricolore.....

Would like to see the set-up. To be able to switch from front to rear facing on the fly would be great.
That's what we were looking at in the beginning but it got difficult wiring it up etc...

I am no tech head but i "think" this is the kind of thing you are talking about?
