I have a 2019 RGS and decided I want to record my forthcoming road trip to Sturgis and beyond using a mounted GoPro.
I do have 14" apes and was thinking about using the RAM mount that bolts through the front brake reservoir as this would allow the camera to clear my windscreen ( https://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-174-GOP1U ) however, I am not sure this will fit, has anyone any experience using this mount on later touring bikes?
Or have anyone other recommendations, I ideally want the camera within easy reach and able to see camera is recording. My bars do not have room to mount a clamp between bend and brake reservoir mount.
Some folks won't agree with this idea but I've done it before and it works. Just adhere the adhesive mount to the to top of your fairing. The tape can be removed ( patiently ) and it will not ruin/mar your paint. I've moved/replaced so many mounts on my Shoei helmet and lowers that I can't count them. JMO......
Ram do a really neat ball mount, which uses a single clamp screw to hold it on, I use one on my Sporty for a gps mount. A darned sight smarter and more discrete than the usual eye-sore of a U-bolt clamp. They also do a neat two-part clamp which uses two screws and almost as neat. Check their catalogue.
If you go to their website, they also show you how to build a mount for your device and application:
Set you camera up before hand in a spot that works. This way you don't have to see what it recording when recording. I have ram mount in many different locations for different views. Mounting locations: helmet(gopro sticky), handlebar by windscreen, under TourPack, low on crashbar, rear crashbar, next to front forks.
