Are your bits getting wet? ¦ BMW R1200GS Exclusive ¦

In hindsight, I may redo this and make the heatshrink longer so that the TOP end is actually up inside the helmet and out of the weather. The length I used in this video, I cut from a liner length, so should be do-able🤞

[@michaellilley6725]

A great idea, although I agree with Alex and Joe's suggestion regarding avoiding seepage at the end. Regarding the camera charging input, I use blu tack, it seals really well and makes it easy to remove the power lead. You can leave it over the charging port with just a slot to put the cable in and out, which can be molded around the USB jack for each use.

@@michaellilley6725 Hi Mike, happy new year bud. I've had that splitter on my helmet for a while, in rain as well. It's never played up but thought I'd do this to cover up the actual male/female join. I have taped it around the top now as well. I used blue tac on my gopro for years, as you say no problems. The only thing I found was it got bits of it into the holes in the lead and the camera itself at times.

Nice looking piece of kit, great idea.

@@MRTPR I wouldn't think you need to worry about riding in rain over there do you? 🤣 Always sunny 👍

I was just about to switch YT off when your vid popped up. The heat shrink stuff is very good indeed but may be worth adding a bit of insulating tape to the end facing up as water has a an uncanny knack of getting past the end. Don't ask me how I know 😂😂😂

[@Tojj29]

Good point Al, I'll do that, cheers

Great idea Nige, Happy New Year to you & hope you had a great Christmas.

Like a previous guy said, blutac works a treat as well.

[@Tojj29]

@@Teuchteronabike I always used it before, but found it got bits of it up into the holes of the lead and camera. Probably the easiest solution though👍

[@howie702]

good Idea ... only problem I can see is on a scorcher of a hot day those loose heat-shrink ends will close up

[@Tojj29]

Hopefully not with the weather we get over here, but fair point if it got hot enough👍👍 See you later on Joe's mate?

Ive had the door off for a while, never had ay issues in the rain except the time I was trying to charge while riding and in the wet. I melted the headphone jack adapter. I think you will need to really try and keep out the water if you want power all the time when riding or cut power when raining.

[@Tojj29]

@@SloboloboVFR My old gopro got water into it. That was that buggered. Fingers crossed this helps so it🤞

[@kimetogo]

Nice job Nige and I do agree with Alex @blearyview2244 comment regarding water getting into the top of the heatshrink, maybe a small amount of silicone sealer would do it. Great to see how others get around problems and share there experiences for all. Cheers

[@Tojj29]

@@kimetogo I've ran a bit of tape around it now Joe. Hopefully that'll do it 🤞

[@kimetogo]

@Tojj29 Perfect Nige. Look forward to seeing how the Cardo performs.
