I have seen a few.....The Harley Shop here sells them...I know they make a chest mount and a helmet mount for them..seems to be where most around here mount them..Gopro makes several different mounts...one could put it most anywhere

I've mounted one straight to my bars with the supplied clip, however I think the best POV on a bike is when the chest harness is used

I'm getting a gopro and I was looking at mounting it to just under my front light with the sticky mounting plate or to my helmet. great for insurance

There are a wide variety of mounts, you can use several different mounts for different views; helmet, chest, crash bar, etc.

I would strongly recommend using a tether. I lost one camera due to a broken mount and my brother would have lost one if he hadn't used the tether.

The GoPro mounts are horrible... I use regular photography rigging equipment but that's a bit of overkill for the GoPro, but I already own it all... Ram is coming out with a quick clamp and they already have the GoPro adapter so I think I'm going to go that route...

This is one of my favorite POV's I did off my old Road King...

I have a Veho MUVI HD action camera. I bought this one because it was less expensive, had more features/mounting options that came with in the box, and video quality was just as good. Check it out...

Do you have a sample video you could post up? Curious to see how video looks using this camera.

GoPros are great - simple, rugged and with good picture and sound quality. GoPro's mounting systems are all awful. Seriously, look into a RAM mount. I have one on my Road King's handlebars.
