Motorcycle Rear Footpeg Camera Mount

The inspiration for this idea came from kaptaink_cg. Props for getting us going! His instructable can be found here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Camera-mount-for-a-motorcycle/

I decided to build upon the original idea of putting a camera on the rear footpeg of my motorcycle but wanted to add some flexibility on the camera angles by using L-shaped brackets and tightening them with bolts, nuts and lock washers to hold them in position while riding.
As a result, I came up with this new design that works for my Honda Nighthawk 250 and I'm sure all footpegs might be the same but double checking your motorcycle pegs wouldn't hurt before starting this instructable.
