    Your body really is the best shock absorber on the bike (All that physical training to obtain that perfect body shape of yours pays off here mate )

    you might want to try RAM mounts. They have an amazing range of mounts which are built to minimise vibration (can never be removed completely)
    Helmet mount is good alright for stability but tends to provide the most boring footage. Depends on what you want.

    Check out this clip

    there are a few different positions on different bikes on the same road, gives a fairer comparison I reckon.

    I have other footage with camera mounted to peg hangers etc and they can be better than the handlebars.

    A shame about the vibes.

    Thanks for that looks like a kiwi company to
    After reading some info on their site I think it did come across this if it helps

    Audio is too loud or too quiet on my Replay XD.
    There are two audio caps supplied with your Replay XD. Both of these caps have different audio characteristics. Please feel free to experiment with these two options to obtain your desired audio quality. Optional Cap 1: To allow for recording of “voice level audio” use Optional Cap 1. This cap is designed for low noise environments i.e., Walking, Hiking, or an Automobile Cockpit. This cap option may exhibit increased wind noise in fast paced environments. Optional Cap 2: To allow for recording of “engine level audio” use Optional Cap 2. This cap is designed for high noise environments i.e., Race Cars, Motorcycles, Sky Diving, or other Outdoor Activities. This cap blocks the majority of wind noise while allowing for a natural sound level for autosports and other high noise activities. This cap may block voice level audio under approximately 80db.

    I have found the best place to mount my gopro is on the chin of my helmet, low drag, good point of view and no vibrations

    suction cup to the side of the frame on the Buell, also tie a short piece string to the gopro the other end to the frame of the bike, just in case the suction cup lets go, just piece of mind.

    So I've been told, but when racing I've never noticed it...and we go a fuck load faster than highway speed.

    If it is a screw mount putting something in between the mount and the camera helps.
    A silicon tap washer worked a treat on the DR. With a heavier full size camera I needed a felt washer from a music shop.

    IMHO

    Chest mount works best but the rozza might be able to bust your ass if the see your speed. I dont use one because the camera has to look through the big-ass roadking screen and is all blury.

    I have a clamp on mount on the front on the crash bar and one stuck on the carrier frame on the rear. Remember to use a bit of string as a backup as I have had a couple of the arms fatigue and drop off.

    I will post a pic of the mount when they come through the email.
