    Just sent you a message. I'm headed to Barnwell Mountain for Turkey Trot Saturday morning for a weekend of off-roading. This would be perfect for using the GoPro app on my phone or iPad. I have 2 phones so I could get plenty of pictures.

    Okay, looks like I've got the testers lined up. If all goes well I plan to have these on our website this month. Thanks for all the replies and interest.

    I would love to test it... Im headed off to do the Mojave trail on Friday, all 140 miles of dirt and offroad, so would need it Thursday. Probably cutting it too close though.

    @goblue82 Greg, check this out! edit* nvm, you have a second gen.

    I go on dirt roads and muddy trails here all the time in Alaska. I could see if it holds up to the bounces and slams

    I'm totally in and willing to test out.... I also happen to ride a DR650 and am looking for a setup that is seemless between my truck and bike. I'm in nor. California.

    PM is this sounds like a match.

    Sidenote, I've been looking for a product with these specs and location. I'm very eager.

    If you can design a bracket for the rear view mirror to lift it out of the vision of taller drivers you'll have a large market I'm sure.

    At 6'1" the Tacoma mirror needs to be at least 2 inches higher to get out of my line of sight when turning. I have heard a LOT of complaints from others who areally just over 5'10"

    The lack of adjustable seat height is a killer.

    Yes! non seat adjustment is the killer. That is a problem that needs to be fixed. My issue is hitting the steering wheel with my knees and legs and I am only 5'10.

    Interesting. I'm 6' 4" but it's mostly in my legs, so the mirror's fine. Now if the steering wheel would just extend another 4" and I'd be set :)

    I assume the Gen II mirror riser that's available doesn't work on the 3s?
