I'm seriously considering starting a thread with all the mounting options I tried and discarded. I never thought that this would work at all since H-D riders usually consider the engine guard bar to be more like an electric foot massager rather than a stable platform. It's raining here, today, so I'm going to install my amplifier. I'll take lots of pictures of both the mount and the amp...after all, I don't want anyone to think it didn't really happen.

DC...buddy, there is a stretch of road I take to visit my sister highway 41, on difrent occassions I have travel the length of that road and seen perhaps 2 cars on it other then in the small towns I pass through. Once I was on it after midnight and never saw one vehicle on it all night. On that road this month in one week...

- May 08, 2013, 19:40:15 PMOk, experimentation is over. I have the perfect set-up. No jello effect, smooth video, no clicks, etc. I'm considering starting a thread just about this. I'll post pics of the mount, and a link to the new video. The Video takes time to process, it's in 1.85Gb chunks. WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS!!!!!

- May 08, 2013, 16:25:35 PMStill working on it..I have to wait 'till tomorrow to try out something different. If I can just get rid of the jello effect...I don't know where in N.Y. you are, but when I went to school at SUNY New Paltz, there was a road outside of town called shivertown road..It was (mainly) straignt, but if you got up to 50 or so, you could get airborne...

- May 08, 2013, 16:08:50 PMTroll I final had the pleasure in watching your video with the new location mount,sweet!!I'd have to believe you narrowed it down and sticking with this setup.That looks like a fun road to travel on.Here in town we have a road that I traveled for the first time on the bike called,Winterton rd.It's probably a 9 mile stretch with hair pin turns and such.The fun part of it all is it is both up and downhill so occasionally you get what we describe as belly whopper feeling when it goes uphill and then that quick drop.The unfortunate side is it is a high travel road to cagers as well but, all and all still a blast!

- May 08, 2013, 06:48:21 AMHow do you find roads with hardly any cars on them? 
It must be nice.

- May 07, 2013, 17:40:27 PMTroll that was really good and so nice to see that you follow the speed limits so well, a nice sound track some good music would really make it fun to watch.....make more so I can go for long rides this winter.....

- May 07, 2013, 17:03:21 PMThat's really great, Troll. If you took off the lower, you should lose most of the undulating phenomenon, and it will get even better. I'm also anxious to see a pic of the mount. Good stuff.

- May 07, 2013, 14:34:36 PM Ok, I went out to the dealer and bought a handlebar/seat post mount for the camera. They didn't have the roll bar mount in stock. I put it on the turn signal stalk, and went for a ride. The results are very encouraging. The jello effect is minimal, and there are no funny clicking noises. The vertical line on the right is the edge of the plexi lower..Not sure they actually do anything, so I took them off. The ride is up Bliss Rd. on Granddad bluff. Most of the turns are marked 15 mph....yeah, right. Very happy with the results. Thanks for the idea. I think I'll put it on the other side so it will pick up the exhaust sound for the next test. So far this is the best motorcycle point of view movie I've been able to get. I think I can make it work the same way on the W......
