Hope to see INNOVV add a display unit to their camera system soon. A major safety feature for motorcycle riders is being able to view and monitor how close cars are traveling behind us. Riders have been killed from rear-end accidents.

You can be sure that you always see what is going on behind you if you have good mirrors. basket random
I use a 9.7 inch IPAD mounted using a RAM mount system. Yes, there is a slight delay but the field of view is much greater than the mirrors. This system also helps when entering a freeway as you don’t have a blind spot and don’t have to turn looking back taking your eyes off the road ahead to check before merging.
I also have a non-glare screen protector on the IPAD so it works well even in bright sun.

To bring you an advantage over the normal mirrors, a display would need to be bigger than the mirrors. And it would need to be placed at a spot with a good visibility.
I don´t know your bike, but on mine (Tiger 1200) I do not have the space to mount a big display. The only possible space above the cockpit is already occupied by the navigation.
A rear-view display would also need a high brightness to make sure everything is visible even at bright sunlight. And even than there will be situations where you would not be able to clearly see what is going on behind you.
At first glance, a live-view feature for the rear cam sounds nice, but on second thought, it brings more problems than solutions.
If you have good mirrors you can be sure that you always see what is happening behind you.
You also need to have space on your motorcycle to place the display clearly visible.
If you've learned to ride a motorcycle properly, you've also learned to use your mirrors (but that's my own personal opinion).
When using a display instead of mirrors, you run the risk of a delay in seeing what is happening behind you. And you certainly don't want that if you want to be able to rely on a display for your own safety.
