Not sure if this is in the right section so mods, sorry if it is and please feel free to move.
Basically, Im just wondering who has mounted a GoPro, Drift, Contour etc or any other camera on their bike and where and how they did it. Ive got a bullet cam in the fake air vent under the headlight on my K3 650S but the quality isnt too great. Ive just replaced it with a GoPro and as it is bulkier and wont fit in the air vent, I am looking for other options. Im not overly bothered about seeing the speedo but it must be forward facing. If anyone has any ideas or experiences they would like to share, I would like to hear them. Thanks |

My STR had matt paint so it wouldn't stick so I mounted it my helmet but now I have a K1200R I can mount it to the tank or side, have you got the suction cup? If so attach to you fairing, tank, rear fairing, front mud guard or screen, the quality will be far superior to the bullet cam.

Ive no doubt that the quality will be miles better than the bullet cam. Thats the main reason I bought the GoPro. I'm still going to use the bullet cam though, rear facing and mounted to one of the unused rear footpeg mounts I think.
I do have the suction cup mount, yes, but Im wary of using it. I'll be doing trackday riding mostly and I would prefer the camera to be bolted down a little more securely than using a suction cup. I realise this gives less options for mounting positions, but Id rather that then see the camera whizz off down the track or worse still, into another rider. |

track day rules state that it must be tethered.
the suction cup is very strong. |

My last couple of track days didnt mind that the bullet cam wasnt tethered. It was bolted in though.

Get a mount made up to bolt where the mirrors attach.
Will work as a blanking plate if you are taking the mirrors off, or if leaving on, just put it between body and mirror,

Now THAT is a good idea. Have you done this? Do you know someone who has? How can I make this mount? Talk to me!

There's a guy in the USA that does these...
http://tracktalk.nesba.com/showthread.php?t=24325 I've been very tempted to order a set for the 750 to use on trackdays if I end up doing some on it. ![]() ![]() |

I like the look of those in the link you sent. I dont like the sound of $50 plus shipping though.
