Motorcycle rear camera mount
by Editor on 02/27/21
Have you ever taken over the kitchen table and made it into a work bench?
Me neither, LOL...
Last year I made a rear camera mount for our carbon fiber bike that produced very steady and smooth video quality. In doing so there were a number of brackets added to achieve that steady shot that resulted in an appearance that was not ideal in my mind.
After giving a lot of thought in how to keep the steadiness of last years mount and developing a more streamline cleaned up version I decided get to work on it. This time I started with a piece of 1/4 x 5 x 6 aluminium flat bar and attached that to the Vrod baseplate that is used to attach a luggage rack and backrest. Then I drilled a hole for the ball head tripod and four holes that will eventually anchor the plate to the steel inner rear fender. Next I will be using four pieces of 5/16 ready rod to see where they meet with the inner fender then figure out the best way to secure them in place.
Carbon fiber Vrod fuel cell cover modification
by Editor on 02/24/21
I wanted to do a follow up on the carbon fiber fuel cell side covers on our 2003 Harley Davidson Vrod. If you have removed the stock 3.7 fuel cell and replaced it with the Unlimited Engineering 5.3 gallon tank there will a couple of things you'll need to know. When using the UE tank the ignition has been relocated, using these MDI carbon fiber covers will leave a hole where that cylinder would go. I ended up using a piece of handlebar grip and end cap to cover it as seen in the picture below. This side fit into place perfectly with no modifications needed for fitment.
On the other side I had to dremal off some material of the carbon fiber cover to get it into place because the UE tank takes up more space in that area of the triangle. I may have removed a little too much so I had to use some 3M two sided weather stripping tape to secure it into place, undetectable when mounted on bike.
Harley Davidson Vrod camera bike
by Editor on 02/21/21
Our 2003 Harley-Davidson 100th anniversary VRSCA V-Rod has gone through a lot of changes over the years. In order to achieve this we've equipped it with some of the very best performance parts in the industry and have refined our camera mounts many times to make them both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Riding two up made it a little challenging, the saddlebags are full with camera gear so I had to build a mount for a luggage rack for our waterproof duffle.
VROD front brake disc
by Editor on 02/16/21
While I'm waiting for my wheels to come back from Ruthless Designz I decided to clean up the inside edges of these front brake discs. The rotary tool with a sanding drum makes short work of a tedious task. It's a small detail but worth it once theses are on the bike.

Rogers Pass British Columbia Canada
by Editor on 02/09/21
While going through our extensive library of images I came across this one Diane shot this while I was starting all four video cameras as we left Rogers Pass. That was a great day, the weather was perfect, the scenery was spectacular and the traffic was minimal.
Custom VROD wheels by Ruthless Designz
by Editor on 02/05/21
Time to let the cat out of the bag...
I recently sent another set of solid VROD wheels to Ruthless Designz for machining. At only $125 per wheel it's a great way to customize your bike with a different look by having a second set. A person can pick up a used pair of wheels fairly inexpensively locally, on Facebook groups and the old interwebs.
I absolutely love the Ruthless Designz #920 option and it was a close second to their #930 option I have on my silver VROD. When I sent them in I had asked if they could do a slight modification to them by taking off the three sharp points, my thoughts on that was: first, save on band aids from the amount of times I'll clean them lol. Secondly it kinda gives a nod & pays homage to the look of the VROD Destroyer racing wheels but with a Ruthless Designz styling and street ability.
Much to my delight I received an email from the man himself, Bill Gorby with this picture attached and the caption "Fresh off the mill."
I was blown away at how good they looked and the fact that the owner of the company took the time to take the picture and send it to me. He sure knows how to take care of his customers!
I can hardly wait to see what they're going to look like polished and on the carbon fiber camera bike!

We've stay there a number of times while filming for VRIDETV and look forward to going back very soon.

Runaway lane just outside Golden British Columbia
by Editor on 01/19/21
Going through some pictures earlier and found this one of a runaway lane just outside Golden, British Columbia that Diane took. I couldn't even imagine how scary of a situation it would be for a trucker to find themselves in a situation to head up that...
