I actually had a roll of seal (for my light bar bleed) that worked great for this, but I have to do both sides. That was my main complaint about this bike and you fixed it quickly. Working on right side now, but found a broken tab so now I wait for the jb plastiweld to dry...

Sorry guys, maybe a stupid question, but what are you driving on the left side…? In my country is it forbidden… left lane is thought for overtaking and afterwards we have to drive back to the middle lane… obviously you don’t need to:) how it works in the USA please? Many thanks 🙏🏻

That mount is from Traxxion Dynamics called the Axxion Camera Mount for 2018+ Honda Goldwing. But beware you will have to modify by cutting a small part of the unpainted plastic cover that covers the screws on the mirror. Not a big deal but I didn't know that when I purchased this as it was supposed to come with a modified plastic cover 'until supplies last', and it didn't when I bought it. LoL
