My camera mount
I had previously used velcro to secure my camera to my dash... but that was pretty awful looking and the picture quality wasn't that great. not to mention i couldn't see my gauges in the video, and it wasn't exactly "adjustable"
so i set out to build a better mount. with clip-ons, the obvious mounting solution was to bolt the setup to the triple-tree with the newly available mounting hardware. so i went and got a $5 rear-view mirror mounting bracket at autozone that looked about the same size, made the holes bigger to fit the ninja's bolt size, and replaced the top of the bracket with a camera mount off of a cheap-o 10$ camera tri-pod. oh yeah- stuck a rubber gromet --aka ducttape-- around the ball joint to help add some size to make sure the ball join held (the camera male ball joint size was ever-so-slightly smaller than the female ball joint, so it wasn't as tight of a fit as i would like to keep the camera stable/pointed in the right direction) the result is a nice little mount that is very stable and can be aimed with ease (looking at your hand for clutch/brake view, looking forward, looking at the rider, etc)
