I have a Ram Mount that I used on one of my old bikes. It mounted to the handle bar with a U-Bolt on the bottom and the plate on top. The camcorder just screwed right in to the mount. It worked okay, but it was shaky...and that was on a carb'ed Honda, so I can't imagine how shaky it would be on my UC.
I think it's still down in the tool box, where I last put it about 4 years ago.

RAM-B-202AU + RAM-B-201U + RAM-B-231ZU is the combo I have.

I've been looking for a camera mount, and watching the threads for ideas. The RAM mounts are mentioned the most and I will probably get one myself. The drink cup alone looked pretty cool.
My problem is I can't seem to find a mount that will place the camera behind the wind screen on my Ultra. The RAM mount doesn't look to be tall enough and if it is, I don't see that it could place the camera behind the windscreen and out of the wind. Nothing worse than a shaky movie full of wind noise. I've seen the suction cup mounts but I wouldn't trust one to stay put especially on a Harley.
If you spot a good camera mount for an Ultra, please let me know.

I replace my GPS bracket on my Rammount with a camera plate. Works great - no vibration. I prefer to mount my camera so it is not behind the windshield - I usually get a bit of glare from the windshield and I don't notice any wind noise if outside.

I use a ram mount on my UC. I have it mounted so it is outside of the windshield and works well. Here is a link I posted a few days ago that will give you a idea how it works. I didn't have the camera lined up right and that's why you see part of the windshield.....

I just can't bring myself to putting a camera on the bike. Haven't you ever watched youtube? The guys with the cameras are always wrecking or catching a wreck or at least it seems like they are.

Flame protection: I used the words tend to alot hear because I know not all metric riders, or high-teck riders, or anybody else who would take offense are lousy unsafe riders. So, if you took offense, then I probably wasn't refering to you so no need to flame here.
