Anyone have it wired right to the bike? If so how? Direct to battery or through a regulator? I am planning a video upgrade this winter and getting rid of batteries would be sweet

I did, as long as your feed is 12V you should be good. I hard wired mine directly to the battery and added a switch. If you hardwire it to the eadlight you might get interference.

Why? I got no headlight... though that give me an interesting idea that is unrelated

To the headligh feed. That is where most hardwire their camera. Anywhere that has 12 V when you turn the ignition on is a bad idea as it can get interference with something, and you can also be taping a wire that is already loaded to the max.
My concern would be voltage and current ripple. The electronics in the camera may or may not be able to take the ripple, which can wear out capacititors prematureley. I know I've seen filters commercially available for this, but not in a position to look for them now. Depending on where you tap off your electricity and what other wires are in the bundle (e.g. any wires connected to coils or injectors, including grounds) could cause this issue. Also consider that interference when routing your permanent video feed wires so you don't pick up interference in your feed..
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
