I Have put mine on my Helmet, handlebars, Crashbars, On top of a 5 foot broom stick that was attached to my backrest and all of them facing in different positions to see what different effect I could get. Put it were ever you want.
I have my gopro on the chin of my full face helmet. definitely the best spot if you use a full face and want the first person view, because you do not have any wind drag.
all you do is stick the curved "stickie" mount on the chin and buy the replacement parts pack. in there use the Vertical Quick Release Buckle to your gopro and there you go.
I use the "vented helmet strap" and strap it to my risers. An elbow piece is also used so I can adjust the angle. Random screen giving you an idea of the view.
Anything mounted to the bike sucks. the best on bike I have been able to come up with is a RAM mount where the mirror riser would normally be on the brake perch of my street glide. I don't wear a helmet often.
I use a different HD camera, and have found quite the opposite. I ride a softail, so the bike doesn't vibrate so much as a dyna, so perhaps that's the difference. But on the bike, I get a nice crisp picture, which moves nicely with the bike.
Video from people with helmet-mounted cameras makes me feel sick: Primarily because of the quick over-the-shoulder (so-called "life saver") glances, which swing the whole picture back and forth suddenly, and glances left and right at junctions.

This ^^.
Here's the problem (from the viewer's perspective) with a helmet mounted cam: the video doesn't show the scenery or where the bike is going, it shows where the rider is looking.
And, if you're a safe and skillful rider, you're looking everywhere. Except for when you're going down a boring straight road, in the boonies, where there are zero bushes or trees where deer can come flying out of, you are constantly scanning back and forth, forward, mirrors, left, forward, mirrors, right, forward...
Or, you better be doing that if you intend to live a long time.
I love the videos of bike mounted cams. I can actually feel the leaning into a long sweeping curve, with all those gorgeous mountains in the distance.
