I keep mine on my chin. Otherwise, a suction mount + safety wire on the rear cowl. Ideally, if you had the money, a GoPro mounted on a gimbal unit mounted as close to the cluster as possible would be perfect. It wouldn't lean with the bike so you'd get the "feel" of the lean in your footage. |

I sometimes mount a GoPro on the tank, looking through the front windscreen. Footage is less interesting than a chin mount but I also don't have to mess around with the camera as often. https://gfycat.com/blondscientificgallowaycow |

Just get 2.. one aimed at the gauges, mount one for a great shot. Slap the tank before you roll to provide an audio queue for a sync point. Edit it together at home. Or get a data logger and overlay virtual gauges with something like dashware. Edited by sschering on Aug 8th 2016 at 01:27 PM |

Just curious, why the instrument panel? I've always have put mine on the top of my helmet. Yea, some are critical of that, but I like it because I can turn my head and get shots of angles that other wise you wouldn't, with it in a stationary position. I have used a suction cup on my rear cow to get video of riders from behind. I always have the suction device tied/clipped to something on the bike...........just in case it popped off.

I put my mount on the steering stem nut of my 2011 R6. Works great, no vibration and captures the speedo/tach/temp/etc. as well as whatever is in front of you.
