The RickRak looks like a good mount. I may change from the Hog Tag to that. I'd just have to reroute the battery eliminator.

How are some of you controlling your GoPro's? Remote wrist controller, iPhone, directly, or...?

I ordered one also and mounted it to the rear hole. I have the same chrome strip and due to it being beveled, the mount did not sit flush. I took it for a test run and it had more vibration than using the Gopro suction cup. You just cant get it tight enough with the uneven surface. So, I took some small flat washers that fit on the chrome strip mounting hole and put enough to build it up above the surface, then put a larger flat washer and then the rubber washer then the Rickrak mount. This ended up being much more solid and it elevated the mount enough to get the "T" **** away from the paint.
I will try and find a spacer the correct size and substitute that for the washers.

I'm assuming you still have the stock handlebars on? What length is that arm your camera is mounted to? How is the camera vibration at idle? Can you see the windshield in the camera view during playback?

Thanks for the info! I have the Hogtag Collar, and while it works great, I'm limited in what I can film. Been wanting to try something else. I'll try this & see what happens.

Got my Rick Rak mount today for my RGS. I threw it on real quick just to see how I liked it. I'm still adjusting and deciding exactly how I want it mounted. Product is made very well. Much better than most of the cheat GoPro mounts. Here is how it sits right now. Their customer service is top notch by the way!!

I have narrowed my choice to either the Hogtag on the fork tube or the Rickrak on the fairing....
2007 Ultra Glide.

Short of throwing parts out to solve a problem...Can anyone help me make the final decision?

I'm going to try one of these as soon as they get the RG version out.

I don't know why you couldn't use that one for a Roadie, given that the base is on a full swivel...
