Hi Glynn,

Sorry just seeing this, been having a busy month with work and moving house!!

Congrats on getting the unit! I don't think you will be disappointed. Ive been loving it and is a great addition to the bike.

So the Unit needs to be connected to the bikes battery, then an extra switch cable connects to the bikes sat nav connector using an adapter.

https://www.motorworks.co.uk/wiring-repair-kit-ela13585-1.html

The manual says the switch cable draws 10-14v.

I have the wireless remote, but to be honest Ive not really used it as the screen is so responsive.

I built a custom mount for my bike, as having it on the battery cover would be useless and I wasnt happy with having it on the bars.  I'm already seeing how it can be improved into a better position and once settled into my new place will be adapting it.

I've finally got round to editing my 1st video about buying the big K and installing the Chigee if anyones interested

While talking to tech support, I also asked them for a discount code for the forum and to put into the series etc which they happily gave me.

Use code RT-POV for 20% discount!

Its been such a blast getting back on 2 wheels and installing the chigee has given me a nice project to get stuck into and a good subject to make a few videos about.

give me a DM if you like and im happy to pass you my number if you have any questions about the install etc. i also had to adapt the front camera to fit a go pro extender as it was too short for the front.

Il upload some footage of it later this week for you to see

Haha,, yes that will help! speaking of which, i was out for a run in North wales yesterday and Id forgotten to change it back from 2up/comfy from the last time the mrs was on the back. Bike was awful through the twisties. What a difference it makes! Just wish the dampener was working also. Has motivated me to get it booked in and looked at asap!

Heres another video if anyones interested. Its of Honister Pass up in the Lakes and was an absolutley stunning ride. One part of it is super steep though. Reminded me of a time when I was in Thailand on a moped in the mountains and the brakes faded to nothing coming back down!

Let us know what you think, and any suggestions of roads you think would make for similarly interesting video please let me know!!!

Have a great week!

Great video Ritchie. What music was that?

Reading the comments it's the second time I've seen the Chigee AIO-5 mentioned in as many days.

First a friend of mine who rides a GS sent me a link to a YT video and asked me what I think. Honest answer was never heard of it but having seen it I'm interested!

Then I watch your video and see you mentioning a custom mount for it. Is that it I see mounted on your bike? If so what do you think of it?

The GT has different bars hence a different mounting system would probably be needed but do you have any details of the mount also please?

I tried a Chinese CarPlay unit in my Audi A8 but after 18 months of being frustrated with its issues and lack of response from ewaying the supplier I ended up removing it.

Tempted to try CarBikePlay though as it could be a better solution than going through a dozen phone mounts on the bike trying to find one I like!

Thanks & kind regards,

Thanks. The musics from an artist called Yehezkel Raz

the Chigee sure is an interesting thing. Quality seems really good so far. Screen super responsive with gloves on. No glitches yet..   Our Ks are not best suited for it in terms of screen position though, which is why I've custom built a mount for it. Im currently editing down a video on the full process, but its basically a mount from a KTM sitting on extenders I cut from mild steel and attached to the slots on the handlebars. The position is not perfect and I am going to adapt it. It does block my view of the speedo under 60mph, and also much of the rev counter, but the chigee screen displays the speed also and is easier to read than the dials anyway, and Im never going to be redlining the bike, so no need to see the revs. However I am going to adpat the mount so the screen is a little further forward and lower to rectify this and for a more integrated/natrual look.

Its been great just linking my phone to it, then putting my phne away and forgetting it. i then have full access to phone features and its all linked into my helmet also with voice controls

Ok my brain dump in order of appearance:

1. Stutter eh! Mine turned out to be fricking exhaust flap sticking I think - Philip sorted it after buying it from me.

2. Hurrah another 360 camera! Which one? Mine is the Insta360 X3. I'm still not happy with the res/clarity/stupid lens protector stuff. Your footage looks nice and clear.

...
2. Also have the X3. 1st time using it so much to learn, but I also had a nightmare with the lens protector fogging up and half the footage rendered useless. was quite pissed off after paying the price they charge for it all. Am looking into the best solution other than using it without. I saw someone using anti fog spray like they use in diving masks. might be my next shout. Have you got any links to footge we can see?

I've been slowly working through my footage from last year and linking from my thread here. I thought I'd finished but just remembered I have a couple more days to do damn it!

wow thats some spread!  Think Il need to go check it out, although I dont facy th ride home after 

Going to need some more preload (adds 'bag' symbol).

Have a great week!

Wowsers that looks a nice place, and no other vehicles! One thing I belatedly realised when editing mine is that sometimes it's better to pretend it's a single lens thing and just insta-switch to the next angle. It was an embarrassing amount of time before I found that transition option in the editor .

Quality looks great. I think YouTube compression is ok until you have close-up complex stuff such as trees, whereas beaut' scenery backdrops are simple enough to not get messed up. Or at least that was the case several years ago. In my videos when i'm going through forests it seems a lot worse quality than when i'm out in the mountains.

Anyway! Time for a trip to Motolegends!

The road was actually super busy on a bank holiday weekend. Ive just edited it all out to look like it was only me there! I also had to keep pulling over whenever I caught up with a car and let them get out of view again.

Yes the X3 is shockingly bad in low light conditions. Its an amazing piece of kit when you think what it can do, but the grainy dark areas could be a deal breaker for me. Ive only used it once so will persevere. We plan to use it in our business anyway so its not a wasted purchase. i just hope I can utilise it fully on the bike

Love the subject, the quality and the music.
But the upside down bits are too druggy for me! 

What are the little connector bits in the yoke holes - for clipping on a phone/other?

Haha, no drugs were consumed on the making of this video 

The mounts are a work in progress. I custom built an accessory bar that sits just in front of the yoke and it attaches to those slots. you can see the screen on the video. The system has a rear view camera/blind spot alert and I wanted to position it as far forward as I could to limit how far down I had to look and take my eyes of the road.  Got a few adjustments to make but its pretty good. I can see the screen with just a glance down without having to lower my head. Really good as a rear view camera mirror. Those mounts that go onto the battery cover are shocking! Id almost be looking at my belly button to see one of them!

wow thats some spread!  Think Il need to go check it out, although I dont facy th ride home after 

Thankyou!!.

Heres another more mellow edit of a sunset ride around Ullswater-

Blue skies on that video - you lucky lucky boy.
Good work! It looked like a very pleasant run.

Yes was pretty much the only day that wasn't on and off rain / grey clouds etc
