Cafe Racer in Cardiff, Wales
I want to go a little hi-tech on my bike, I'm looking at rear-view camera systems. The mirror that's on the bike is pretty - but totally ineffective, and although I've got bar-end mirrors on order I can't see them giving fantastic visibility. And yes - I do "life savers" before changing lane, pulling out, etc - but with chronic arthritis and rheumatism damn it hurts, sometimes! - so a camera may well be the way to go.
There are plenty of systems out there, I don't need it to be wireless, I'd rather it used a dedicated waterproof monitor rather than a smartphone. Power from the bike's 12v will be fine (I'm midway through upgrading the crap battery box to allow a better battery). Past that, what's out there? Any recommendations gratefully appreciated - also, any dire warnings about systems to avoid would be useful.
