It was made by a friend of mine (my do-it-yourself skills are very limited) 
after I showed him Matt Knowles' camera mount pictures.
I didn't want the camera to stay behind the tank cap, even if I won't "see" 
the mirrors from there, because the RS has lower bars than the ST and in a 
rearer position I would hit the camera with my chest. So he decided to 
remove the legs from a short aluminium tripod (that you can find in a store 
at around 30 $) and replace them with a metal disc to function as a base to 
be attached to the tank cap. The base disc is attached to the tripod with a 
long screw. Construction was pretty simple, and no weldings needed. As you 
can see from the picture the camera mount can be installed on the bike with 
no tools at all in a few seconds. It can be used with a camcorder too.

I have to ask my friend if he would be interested in building others of 
these for those of you that would like to buy one. Will let you know his 
answer.

Andrea
