Camera System install

[garlo]

Good morning fellow wingers.
I am in the process of installing a dual camera system on my 2017 GL1800
The problem I am facing at the moment is the rear camera and where and how to run the wiring from the rear to the front without having to drill a hole in the bodywork.
The front camera was a little daunting [ to say the least ] but it is done.
I really do not want to put holes in the body [ only 6500 KMs on the odo ] but if I must - well I guess I will have to

Any help will be appreciated.

Have a better day than I am going to have and mine is going to be AWESOME ! ! !

I don't think there is a way to get into the trunk without making a hole.
Run the wire under the trunk and go in from the front of the trunk. Make a hole just big enough to allow the connector to go through.
I don't know what camera you will be installing but you should be able to attach it with 3M VHB two sided tape to the under side of the trunk.

I had to make a hole in mine for 12 volt power port I installed. I went in through the front side of the radio well in the trunk.

I wanted to go higher but ended up on the shelf above the tail light/rear fender. There's already a hole there. You can chase the wire forward under the trunk like you would for a trailer harness. There's a sliver of room.

Also, I mounted the DVR in the trunk so I drilled hole low on the front trunk bulkhead and brought the camera cables, power cables and the remote button thru that hole to the DVR.

Here's the fwd camera. I also used one GoPro arm so I could keep the camera high and tight to the fairing nose.

As yes the second image is correctly oriented. The DVR is mounted upside down on the starboard side of the trunk shell with hook & loop. I can pull it off, pivot forward and flat into the correct usable orientation within the slack of the cables.

This is what I am thinking. After I got thru with the front camera install. I was 5 1/2 hours with that one. New to removing panels etc.

After I had ''calmed down'' I was actually able to think clearly and decided that I would be running the wire under the trunk using cable tie mounts.

I appreciate all suggestions and hope to get this job finished sooner rather than later.

Have an awesome day ! ! !
