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.

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.
