Default Wanted: Go Pro mount on crash-bar-with-lowers ideas

I've read several discussions about Go Pro mounting .......... and I know a lot of OTHER mounting locations exist, but wonder if anyone has found a way to mount it on a crashbar which has lowers on it ?

I see a Ram mounts than might fit in the limited space available, using a u-bolt or a clamp/jaws.

I'd like to hear from people who've found a good solution to mounting on the crash bar (with lowers).

Thanks.

My Ram Mount fits fine on the crash bars with hard lowers. I've mounted it close to the frame and use a 6" extension to get the camera in a good position.

I like the camera angle better on the bars so I may go back to that...

The GoPro 1" bar stuff work great. With a couple of the knuckle joints, it works just fine.

I believe it was Safetyman that I saw with a phenomenal setup!! If I remember correctly he has a mount on his saddle bag rail on the left side, freaking awesome shot angle!!

Yeah, many available locations, but as I stated originally, I'm looking for a crash bar mount, that can deal with limited clearance due to having lowers (on an Ultra Limited).

My Go Pro came with a 'crash bar' clamp that I could mount very easily on my Road King with no lowers, but wont work with the lowers on my Ultra Limited.

Not sure if that qualifies as " 1" bar stuff ", but what I have simply wont fit since the lowers hug pretty closely to the crash bar.

I have a Ram tough claw that I use, it does not go all the way around the bar you can clamp it to any thing flat to the diameter of the size claw you purchase..
