hey guys, i see many videos from badweb users and youtube freaks - please let me know any ideos to mount the go pro (motorsport edition) on the 1125R.

i mounted it on the top of the helmet, but it shakes so much, that is really ugly : (...

could you tell me some mounting points where the camera should be much more "stable" and the movies get well??

thanks guys : )

Get yourself the suction cup if yo don't have one. that thing is awesome!! i like to mount on tail above taillight, forward or backwards. forward allows you to see how body position is doing. I've run video with cup stuck to pods, front windscreen, front fender too. have not had an incident yet.

not a gopro, but i sometimes mount my Contour on the bottom middle of the fairing (on an adhesive contour mount) or on the folded-down passenger peg.

1125rz... please don't yell. you'll scare the little ones!

I used to mount my GoPro on the front fender of my 1125R using one of the stick on mounts.

Then if I remember I moved it to underneath the front fairing which worked great as well.

suction cups introduce too much vibration, wavy video. The stick on mounts work much better, but if you stick it on a fairing, then it's still going to vibrate. Your better off bolting a L bracket to the bike and sticking the mount to that.

I put a piece of black electrical tape over the go pro mount before sliding the camera mount on it. Some of them have a loose fit and cause vibration.

Best way to get rid of wavy video: 720/60 setting for the video.


If you have your passenger footpeg brackets off, you can put a sticky mount on where the bracket would attach to the bike.
Then some creative fiddling with the included arms and you get something like this:

Craig, I can't tell you how many times I've watched this video, but it's been over a dozen for sure.

You are one smooth racer! Hope to meet you this season.
