GoPro HD2 Mounting.
Has anyone tried using the pedistal mount for the GoPro unit and mounting it in front of the 3rd eye? I noticed that there are 3 screws that mount it to the clip and was thinking about hard mounting it. Any bad vibes or anything?

I mounted mine on the right hand side of the fairing twoards the front with one of the curved mounts. It took a bit of time and different mounting configurations to come up with a level camera, but it's solid and takes great video. (Although I have the Hero HD not the new Hero HD "2"). I can take a pic of you are interested.

I didnt think about a side mount. I can see what you are talking about. I think tomorrow I am going to take the fairing off and see how thick the plastic is on the bottom of the 3rd eye and see if it is thick enough to keep from vibrating too bad. Those adhesive mounts are awesome. I cant belive how sticky they are!

Here is my mounting option. I make sure all connections are t-i-g-h-t and I have had great video from this location. Hopefully these pics are not too big/small as first time with pic attachments. Enjoy
I have faith in the super sticky mount, but safety wiring the camera housing to the main mount is a excellent idea.

I tried a mount near the mirror with a stick on. Too much bounce. Today, I used a piece of half in black plastic cut to the shape of the third eye lens. That with a tripod mount from GoPro and longer screws and the camera has a solid mount.
