Well, I had a left over Tech Mount brand GPS / Camera mount I wasn't using. So while I was moving the GIVI box forward so it can be leaned against for a backrest (GIVI backrest for the box ordered), I decided to make me a camera mount in anticipation for The Fall Smokies Ruckus Ride.......... ;D My Ruckus with the box moved forward from where GIVI intended..... I took the Tech Mount aluminum mount and fabricated a mounting bracket for it out of a piece of aluminum angle from Lowe's. I drilled it for right or left handed mounting just in case, but because of the throttle, I imagine it will remain on the left side..... It turned out pretty clean looking......now I can take pics when folks pass me at The Smokies during the "drafting for position"................. ;D

I think that's the best mount I've seen on a ruckus. Very clean. Will the aluminum be strong enough for the weight of the camera if you happen to bottom out?

I tend to over build things. I probably would has used something like 1/4" thick steel. I get paranoid about thing like that when I do them.
