General / Re: Cheap Helmet Camera Recommendation

« on: 09 July 2013, 07:57:26 pm »

i have done a bit of a bodge job on the act20 i have on my bike.
gaffer tape and silicon sealant work wonders !
plus with the usb cable in you can still access the sd card (although not directly) if needed.

General / greasing new spark plugs. copper or normal?

Currently replacing my spark plugs and seem to remember that its a good idea to pop a bit of grease on them.
What type is better?
Thanks

have a look on fleabay for act20
720hd
£45
can set it to record on external power if needed.
picture quality is ok (look at the rear view on some of my later vids

)
just bought another one to put in the car permanently for insurance purposes.
only downside i've found is it cuts the clips into 20 min sections and leaves about a second gap between them.
hope this helps

« on: 04 July 2013, 11:27:59 am »

something else that been on my "to do" list for a while is change the spark plugs.
think its still on the original ones and for my own piece of mind i'm going to change them.
while i'm at it, i might as well have some that are a bit better

anyone know the codes for iridium plugs please ?
also, is any "brand" of spark plug better than others ?
thanks

« on: 04 July 2013, 10:41:00 am »

just about to order some of these myself...
http://www.helperformance.com/hel-brake-lines-for-yamaha-fzs600-fazer-1998-2003-en.html
the wemoto look ok but i'd rather have a decent brake line from a trusted name.
in real terms is £30 worth it for stopping assurance ?

FZS600 Fazer / Re: where to put a camera

« on: 02 July 2013, 10:41:54 am »

i put one of those cheap (£45) on velcro mounts on the back of my bike.
quite a bit of vibration on the first test run, but after packing with a bit of packing foam (the thin, fairly dense stuff) it seemed to sort it out.
got a few vids on my youtube channel if you fancy a look.
thinking of getting one for the front, but can't decide yet.
