Where And How Have You Fitted You're Gopro?

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by timberwolf, Aug 5, 2016.

  1. Just pondering. I purchased a GoPro alike a couple of months back with lots of fittings but can't work out where to fit it to the bike. I realise some fit them behind the screen but having a dark smoke screen that's out. On my previous gixxer I fitted a camera to the offside fairing about half way down but am loathed to stick the 3m pad on the expensive ducati fairing.
    Anyone fitted theirs on anything else? I don't want to stick the 3m pad on my new lid either.
     
  2. Just ride like a twat and turn yourself in to the local police station at the end of it. Cut out the "middle man" so to speak :)

  5. Thanks guys, trouble is I have a dark smoked screen. Do the 3M adhesive pads come off without damaging the paintwork ?
     
  6. Little bit of heat from a hair drier will help bring them off no problem.

  8. I have this and so far it's been fine. No one tells you to push the sucker down first then push the clamp.

    Been fine at all legal speeds *cough*

  9. Looking at this one, could it perhaps be fitted/sucked onto a screen, I have a Diavel with a relatively flat (ish) screen so that looks ideal.

  10. I think it would definitely need to be quite flat. Once it's on, it's like a limpet. Some people reviewed it on Amazon and said it fell off. I think they've tried round panels or not put it on properly.

    One thing about putting it on your fairing is that they of course vibrate a bit especially on bumpy roads. Tank is better if you can.

  11. Was the writing on the button that says "press" not enough of a clue?

  12. I'm an average guy, I don't read instructions.....

    It should have said "press harder".
     
  13. But you wouldn't have read that either
     
  14. Instructions.......please explain???
     
  15. I didn't, until someone pointed it out....
     
  16. I can't...you'd need instructions and then it would be like looking into opposing mirrors.....

  17. I lost one of the GoPro sucker mounts off of the (very slab/flat sided) door of Dodge Challenger. I would very definitely utilise some sort of tether if using one of them.
