- May 09, 2013, 12:56:20 PMOH Troll my dissapointment is so high right now.....friction tape....
QuoteFRICTION TAPE is used on the blade and handle of a HOCKEY STICK........any kid from the snow belt knows that ....man......handle of a baseball bat (or in John Hopkins case, Cricket bat...maybe Ratman's too)...not electrical tape.
Ok keep your BBB tires then.....personally it gives a nice veiw of the road, higher would give a nice perspective but were can you mount it higher unless you fabricate something......

- May 09, 2013, 12:22:00 PMMichelin doesn't make a white wall..I have enough trouble keeping the paint clean (except when it rains), so no WW for me! Here's a shot of where I wound up putting it. I had really wanted it higher up for more of a rider perspective, but this will do...for the time being. I wrapped the bar with friction tape first, to keep the mount from slipping. Before you ask...friction tape, that old fashioned black fabric stuff kids would wrap around the handle of a baseball bat (or in John Hopkins case, Cricket bat...maybe Ratman's too)...not electrical tape.

- May 09, 2013, 08:32:18 AMSoooo. I put up a small edited sample of the results: https://picasaweb.google.com/109550952480484427597/GoProVideoClips#5875965303864030898
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!
