Got a lil' freaky w/ my custom gipro install...

[JINKSTER]

so?...since my beloved dark smoke puig touring screen was just a tad too low up front to squeeze mine in on top of the gages?....and ain't willing to give up my puig?...yet wanted my gipro where i wanted it?..front and center...stationary...and not hiding any part of my other stock instrumentation?...i decided a 'lil custom install braketry work was in order...so?...I started out with a 3/4" wide by 6" long piece of 1/8th" alum. strip stock...and first formed a joggle into it to get the location up and over the gages..

then finished up the forming of the bends to get things where i wanted...

then I used the laid out and drilled bracket to line drill the plastic for (2) 1/8th" rivets....

then popped a couple rivets in...

then got'er wired up and functioning with the 5th gear mapping set....

and viola.....

where i wanted and the way i wanted...

sorta "particular" about things....aren't i?

L8R, Bill.

w/ the supplied velcro.

Damn that thing is HUGE... Won't be any missing it.

I assume it dims at night right?

Nice post and you'll have to let us know how well it works.

the "HUGE" display is just one of the many things i like about it...won't be any eye strain going on entering a curve with this baby!

and "what gear i'm in while entering a curve will always be in my "periphial"....cool shid indeed.

I believe there is an adjustable setting for brightness.

Bill,

The bracket in pics 2 and 3 (silver) looks different than pic 4 (black)...did you cover/encase it with something?

Looks like you have plenty of leftover flooring from your bedroom job. If you plan on using it in the future I've been told to make sure and keep it in a relatively cool place (not sure how hot/humid your garage gets).

 

[boribusa69]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe the brightness dims automatically

well thanks much but...not sure i wanna get into that..however?..if there's enough demand for a GIpro bracket such as this i guess i could whip up a few dozen..got s bud who's local with a sheet metal shop...i'd bend'em up there..but only if there's a demand...it's to easy for diy'ers to just go ahead and do at home i think.

L8R, Bill.

teh gipro has 3 modes of tre and 9 levels of brightness...the first 8 levels do automatically self adjust to light conditions but level 9 is full bright all the time...what you're looking at in my pix is the default level of brightness.."level 4"...which sems plenty bright to me!

Not a DIY type of guy.

Looks good bro, I'm putting that down on the list.

Bill,

The bracket in pics 2 and 3 (silver) looks different than pic 4 (black)...did you cover/encase it with something?

yes...i sprayed it with "plasticoat rubberized coating"..not only to make it black but also to damp any residual vibes.

Only thing I could think of though is maybe a little black plastic hood to block or reduce the glare of the display on the interior of the screen... Or does the glare just look bad in the pic without really being all that bad...
