Gopro Mounting Placement and Mounts
I'm done smacking my helmet on my tank-mounted gopro. I usually only do front-facing, since there's rarely action behind me
 What and where? I'm considering the dude that sells the mirror-mount ones on WERA, anyone tried those? sticky-mount in the same place almost as good?Discuss. .. (and yeah, I searched, thinking this had already been flogged, but not much. . . ) |

Butt cam. Flat mount on the tail, camera pointing forward. Never gets in the way and you get to watch yourself like a pro.

You don't zoom in and look at just your butt. Silly!
 the camera will see all of you from there. It's a great way to see your BP and see exactly where you hit (or miss) apex.

Fogle mounted a GoPro on the upper fairing of my bike Joel. Worked pretty good. It's just to the left of the windscreen and safety wired to my stay. Gave pretty good footage. If you wanted to get crazy you can always buy some mounts from the company "Ram Mount". They have a ton of cool setups that would mount to forks, clip-ons, frame, etc.

 Has anyone found a good point on the bike to mount a camera for a view of their forks? (Like in this video: http://www.ninjette.org/forums/showthread.php?t=164796) I've seen this view point used with a lot of the big bike racers, and it's probably one of my favorites. Not sure if there's room anywhere on the ninja though :/ |

I have my GoPro mounted on my triple. however part of my triple was cut too where the key ignition was.
I also mount my other camera, a Replay XD under my tail section facing backwards...works great showing riders behind you. Other places I mounted a Go pro was on my swing arm get get footage of my rearset, foot, and when I dragged knee...however I think where I am at now I may lean it far enough and drag the camera. I may retry using a Replay XD on this position because it has a much smaller form factor. I also mounted a Go Pro mount exactly where Josh and Shane did but I also want to see my RPMs.

Knock on wood, we have not had a failure of the mounts yet...
We have one on the windscreen mounted right below the Kawasaki sticker. One mount right in front of the right clip-on on the outside of the fairing so the go-pro can face back looking at the brake lever/throttle hand movement. The obligatory butt view that can also face backwards. One on each side of the mid-faring area to get a view of the front wheel or inside of leg when facing the camera to the back. The coolest one we have though was Draik's idea... it is on the left side passenger peg mounting point. This one we ran safety wire through to make sure it held on. It gives an awesome view of the rear tire/suspension travel/traffic behind him on the track.
