    Camera placement on motorbikes?

    Trying to find a good place to stick a copy go pro I have to my Fzr but struggling to find a place I'm happy with, where have people had the best success in terms of not being in the way and camera view?

    Has sticker type mounts with a few position adjustors. Can't mount it on the triple clamp as the windscreen is tinted black

    Lower fairing pointing forward at the road or back up towards the rider. On your tailpiece, either mounted forwards or backwards.

    I have mine on top of the helmet. Too bumpy anywhere else on my bike. Prefer the look of the tank mount view with dials visible at the bottom of the field of view though.

    Clamped to a crash bung. Better place is to replace one of the pillion pegs with a mount.

    I have mine industrial velcro'd to crash knob, very little vibration and works well.

    Not a lot of places on a sprots bike.

    I like having the camera mounted near the crash bung so that the front wheel and forks are partially visible, it helps with seeing what the bike's doing if you have a 'moment':

    Let go of the brake and let the bike sort itself out
