Hello all, and Happy New Year to you all! Does anyone out there use a GoPro that is mounted on the F6B, and if so, what is the best accessory to use, where is it mounted and what pros and cons do you have regarding quality(wind noise,vibration etc)? thanks all for the help.

I bought the ~$25 GoPro Accessory Mounting Kit at Walmart.
This enabled me to mount the camera on the top of the left engine guard.
Of course now I cannot find the picture of it.

Here are a few video clips of what it looks like from there.
I like that I get the tire in there so it gives a sensation of the speed.
The engine noise is on the audio, so I can hear what I'm doing.

Cheers,
Steve

This video was not on a Go-Pro, but the same mount point....

I know JimmyT mounts his on his windscreen for a more above look.....
Not sure if he uses the suction cup or if he made a more permanent fixture.

I use the Ram mount on both the handlebars and engine guard. I do have a helmet do-hickey that I didn't put on yet. Put on the all weather cover and play music in the background because the wind noise is too much for any video.

I have a GoPro Session, and I mount it to my full face helmet. That way the camera looks wherever I do. Something to consider. :icon_cool:

I did this, but with the much smaller "Session" camera.

Thank you, I was thinking of the windshield as well, but didn't know what to use because I obviously want to keep its look if I didnt have the gopro on

That's a reflection, not a crack, in the casing.
I've experienced no damage to the unit while here.

nice option, minimal vibration i'm guessing.

I put one of the sticky mounts on top of the mirror. Works great if you DON'T want to see any of the bike in the video.

It is just mounted with one of those clips that has the adhesive strip on the underside. Cleaned a spot on the front lower section of my Baggershield and stuck it there. Used alcohol pad to clean it . It is really not noticeable when the camera is not there. Same clip the some stick to their helmets etc.. I have a host of other brackets to mount in various places like the engine guards too.

I look forward to trying out the new 365 degree camera my wife got me for Christmas.

That windshield was the area I was thinking also just wanted to make sure that is didn't take away from the bike when the camera is not mounted. Its a tinted window so I guess it will blend in. I do like that Ram clamp, and having the option to keep moving it around for different angles. Thank you all for your input. This site is Da Bomb!

Oooooh.....
Looking forward to that vid!

I mount my GoPro either on my helmet or on the left mirror using those adhesive backed mounts. Works great.
