Got on the bike, squeezed the front brake and rocked it to compress the forks and the camera came within 1/2” of the top of the fender. Moved the camera to the side. Thank you.

SEE...I TOLD YOU!!! At least twice yesterday.Originally Posted by KeyWasted
Someone at one of the other forums commented about a ding on the fender from the camera.
IMHO I just want a view from the front and back to catch the vehicle that ran me of the road, or worse. I ride so much by myself I want as much "legal evidence" as I can get and with the wide angle view offsetting the camera will still work.

You were correct and I appreciate the heads up!
Okay explain this, there are three of us, who have mounted as described where it would hit the fender, we are unable to get it to hit the fender, fully bottomed out there is 1/2"+ space left, we have been using this setup for several years, and have no damage.
Is it because we use progressive monotubes, fork braces, all balls bearings, and Heli bars?
Those are the only front-end mods on all three bikes.
Just curious, and yes combined those 3 bikes have 140K miles + of riding throughout the USA.
Could be those mods, I don’t know. I have fork braces only. My concern was that just sitting on a stationary bike and flexing the forks, my son measured and took video of the camera coming within 1/2” of the fender. I’m fairly certain that when traveling in other states with more potholes than mine, and me not knowing where they are, I will bottom out the forks even more and ding the fender.
I should add to my post, that myself and my friends have forced the fork down, to where you were able to hear it bottom out, and no-hit, 1/2+ space left.
So maybe our combos are the good prescription for having it not hit the fender.
Or you are not fat.
