Testing my new GoPro. Suction cup on the helmet. Is rather heavy and creates quite a bit of drag which is a little uncomfortable.

Christ, use one of the curved stick on mounts, They DO NOT come off trust me, use the suction cup for tanks and fairings etc

Yeah, all the same looked alright positioning, I wouldnt recommend a cam ontop of your head at 160, feels like your neck is about to break haha,
Try one of those curved stick on mounts, and put it on the side of your helmet just beside your visor pretty much, it makes you feel your leaning to one side but it doesnt make your head feel floppy as, I wish I had at least 3 of these cams, would make an epic vid using different angles all cut together. I have a fuck tonne of footage on my laptop haha just need editing software and the know-how

**sil3nt** · 14th April 2011, 21:56

I have the software just not really the know how. Learning quick though! Upload speeds in NZ are terrible which makes sharing videos really shit.

I think that trademe one can do just the rear by itself? thats how hes selling the ducati one?

**DrunkenMistake** · 14th April 2011, 22:03

Ya, but Its cheaper to buy the front and rear off him for .. $150 or whatever it is, then it is to pay $200+ to order it from a shop. (front and rear)

**PirateJafa** · 15th April 2011, 09:39

Don't even bother getting a below-the-forks front stand. Pay the bit extra to get a headstock stand.

I use my wheels all the time, particularly useful at trackdays (my bike has no sidestand)
