I used the suction cup and mounted mine to the center of the fairing and worked fine. If you mount next to the passing lamps, the camera will be slightly off as the bar is not horizontal.
I found that more mounts with adjustment arms I used, the more the camera would shake. You can also look at the ND filters for the GoPro. The Neutral Density filters will get rid of the shakiness / jello effect of your movie.

This is what i'm using and it works great. Kuryakyn makes one too but it's way more expensive than this one.

That's a pretty cool idea.

i mounted mine to the speedo with the suction cup it works awsome , although u cant see the speed and dummy lights but it works perfect ..
i also just got a gadget called a cell buckle - i posted in another thread what it will hold an how it works , but it also holds the camera to the bar shweet gizmo
link to it and 2 video of the gopro suction mount

I use several different methods. I've used the GoPro suction cup mount on the fairing (usually mounted on the right side, next to the windshield). This is a convenient spot, as I can turn the camera on and off and monitor the blinking "REC" light to assure that the camera is actually on. I also have RAM mounts located at low positions of my bag crash bars and below my highway pegs on my engine crash bars. Occasionally, I mount the camera on my helmet, with stick-on mounts located on each side of the helmet and on the top.
Multiple cameras lets you obtain different perspectives on the same ride. A camera mounted looking back is sometimes a nice effect. Low mounts versus high mounts gives you enough different view points to allow creative editing. Mix it up.
As mentioned previously, you'll want to limit the length of your mount. Tinker-toying several different arms together will almost certainly introduce unwanted vibration. Keep your mount small and efficient, using the minimum required to do the job.
I've got industrial-strength Velcro stuck to my clutch reservoir lid, on which I mount my wireless remote.
Finally, I've also found that there are certain RPM's that seem to set up a harmonic vibration, in the crash bar mounts especially. They seem to occur mostly at lower RPMs. In fact, running in sixth gear at highway speed seems to result in an unfortunate confluence of these elements - at least on my bike. I'm toying with different speeds and gears to try and find the sweet spot. I suspect that dropping down to fifth gear, thereby raising the RPMs a bit, might actually smooth things out.
I've collected a toolbox full of various mount pieces. Be creative and let us know what works best for you.
