With my bankroll, you could afford 1 extra mount.  Ratman is the guy with unemployment insurance he can cash in...

I did a helmet mount the other day... switched the camera to 4 different places. The helmet mount was clear, but every time I moved my head...and I move it a lot..I'll stick to the new center mount....I want to capture the ride, not my head turning.

Ok...thanks for the input and the patience with me. My Father was a perfectionist, and I have inherited at least some of his tendencies. I have made up my mind, and here is a sample of the result. Remember, what you see is a flash conversion... the actual video is 1080I...HD TV! I have reworked my center mount, and put some stiff rubber bumpers between the windshield bracket and the upper triple clamp...and I found that damn buzz! I removed the sealing ring from the back door of the camera housing....the sound track is what's playing on my stereo, not added on. You can really hear the rumble of the exhaust  as I accelerate.

I tried that location, and it's too buzzy for what I want. I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with what I have done, now. I got 2 big rubber bottle stoppers and put them between the upper tree and the windshield mount and that made a world of difference. I relocated the stick on mount higher on the windshield frame and I am using a much shorter arm to connect the camera.. VERY rigid. I have a soft pad attached to the windshield frame that the camera rests against, so it further damps out vibration...Tested it again, today, and I'm pretty happy with it. Not cinema quality, but it doesn't look like jello on a vibrator, either...

Troll... Here's a pic of my mount

My big decision point is the spot with the least vibration/jello effect. I've been trying lots of different places and I made a mod to my center windshield set up that came out very well. The second best seems to be the clutch cyl mount.

Troll... Having rode the "Dragon" and also owning a GoPro I would suggest that you mount the camera where you will pick up the most lean... Crash Bar (Engine Guard) tends to give you a flatter angle... If you can find a location where when you turn the forks or steer into a turn it will definitely give you a better perspective.

 >:( Mr. GreenBarn Sir, being a business owner and a man in good standing in your community I do not understand why you do not fund this project on your own and use it as a business write off towards education and film making. I am trying to get all my hard earned part time pay salted away so once I am forced out to pasture on my very small pension from the 90's I'll be able to afford my house and my vehicles.
